    My controller on Windows 10 keeps spasm'ing out of game


    I have clips to prove it, my controller will just have random spasms. Ive looked at Xbox Accessories App on W10 and I just find its been pressing B and RT randomly. This always happens whenever I load up any game that allows the Xbox Controller. Even when I don't load up a game and just turn it on, it happens. I cannot open Xbox Games bar without it spasming and not allowing me to press anything and I cannot press the windows button at all, it just closes itself. The same goes for settings and Windows 10 Microsoft Store.
    Xbox Accessories clip - You can hear me mashing a button near the start, that is me trying to show that it won't display another button but those.

    Showing Windows - The same happens with Xbox Games Bar and my entire screen flashes on and on.

    :)

    My controller on Windows 10 keeps spasm'ing out of game

    1. My controller is a standard controller which came with the Console.
    2. Yes.
    3. I have tried and I have VPN and Antivirus, both being turned off shows no difference.
    4. Yes, it is.

    My issue is that it will only mess up whenever I use it on a Controller-Friendly game, such as Rocket League. But through tests, RL is not the issue.

    Thanks for the update, KatOBS2.

    Would you mind confirming few things, may we know what version of Windows you are in (10/11)?

    Has this been working before? Was there a Windows update or newly installed apps that caused the issue?

    Would you mind checking what's your Xbox Controller version?

    What type of Console are you using (like Xbox 360, Xbox One)?

    Thanks for stating your observation in the behavior of the controller. Is the controller connected wirelessly? If yes, please check if issue reoccur in wired connection because if it does then the controller might be faulty.

    Note If you’ve updated your controller with the latest firmware version (5.11.3118), you may experience problems configuring the controller with the Accessories app on a Windows device. We are aware of this issue and our engineering team is currently working on a fix. In the meantime, you can still configure your controller using the Accessories app on your Xbox console. The controller’s updated settings will then carry over when you connect it to a Windows device.

    You may check few things from this support article here:

    Controller xbox 360 for windows 10 ?

    Hey BulbaForce,

    Let's check this out. Officially, there is this nifty support guide for setting up the Xbox 360 controller for a PC:

    support.xbox.com/.../xbox-controller-for-windows-setup

    Now, if you read the top of that guide, there's a note that this controller will definitely work for the Windows 10, so there are no worries there. There's a section specifically for

    setting up the controller for Windows 10    . Windows 10 automatically downloads the necessary drivers. With that in mind, are you sure that the drivers aren't already installed? Have you tested this controller out in any games?

    If it's not working, let's make sure that your Windows 10 device is fully updated. You can find out how to check for that with this Windows 10 FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/windows-update-faq
