Hi. The controller I have is "PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S". There is a section for PowerA in verified controllers. It use to work for me just fine for over a year. I am not sure why suddenly it is not working. Any ideas?

The controller is wired. I'd rather not use Edge. It's an enhanced xbox PowerA controller

Yes, Microsoft does offer a wired-only controller option, known as the "PowerA Enhanced Wired Controllers for Xbox Series X|S." You can find more information about this controller, including purchasing options, on the official Xbox website at the following link: https://www.xbox.com/accessories/controllers/en.... It's worth noting that while there may be third-party wired controllers available, it's important to ensure they are authentic and have been developed in partnership with Xbox to ensure the best possible gaming experience. Be on the lookout for the "Designed for Xbox" logo on these products as a sign of their authenticity.

It sounds like there might be an issue with the driver or configuration settings for your PowerA Series X|S wired controller on your PC. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Check the controller settings: Make sure that your controller is recognized by your PC and that it is properly configured. You can do this by going to the "Devices and Printers" section of your Control Panel and looking for your controller. If it is not there, try unplugging and plugging it back in to see if it is recognized.

Update your controller drivers: Go to the PowerA website and download the latest drivers for your controller. Make sure that you download the correct version for your operating system.

Check the game settings: Make sure that the game you are trying to play has the correct controller settings configured. Check the game's options menu to see if there is an option to enable the use of a controller.

Try using a different USB port: Sometimes USB ports can become faulty or have issues with certain devices. Try plugging your controller into a different USB port on your PC to see if that resolves the issue.

Reinstall the Xbox App: If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox App on your PC. This can help to reset any settings or configurations that may be causing the issue.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with your controller. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns!
