    PC not recognizing Xbox Controller rear paddles


    USB connected Xbox X Fusion Pro 2 controller. The Settings > Devices > menu displays the controller as an Xbox Series X Fusion Pro 2 controller. However, when I run the Xbox Accessories app or the reWASD app, they both display a controller without the rear paddles. Requesting Windows 11 updates did not find any new drivers. Updating the drivers for the controller from the Device Manager menu did not fix the problem. I attempted to disconnect and reconnect the UAB cable to different port without any success.

    ***Move from "Moved from windows"***

    *** Moved from Gaming and Xbox / Hardware and network / Other ***

    Hello DanST65,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

    It seems like your Xbox X Fusion Pro 2 controller is not working with the Xbox Accessories app or reWASD app.

    Let us check on this together and sort this out to assist your concern. However, before we proceed, we would like to ask few questions about it.

    1. When did the problem start?
    2. Was this working before?
    3. Recent activity or changes made before the issue appeared?

    The answers to that questions help us to provide accurate resolution of the issue.

    So far, from the details you provided, you can try the following steps and let us know the result. You can just skip those you have done already.

    1. Make sure that you have downloaded the updated Xbox Accessories app on your computer. If you don’t have it downloaded, you can find and download it through the Microsoft Store.
    2. Connect your controller to your PC using a cable, preferably an Xbox-specific cable.
    3. Check the firmware version for your controller by selecting “…” on the Xbox Wireless Controller screen. If there is an update available, select “Update” and follow the steps provided. Troubleshoot your Xbox Wireless Controller | Xbox Support
    4. If none of these steps work, you can try using the Xbox Wireless Adapter or a USB cable to connect and configure your accessory.

    Let us know the result and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We may recommend further troubleshooting steps once we have received your answers to the above questions.



    We will be glad to follow up and help you.
