What is Microsoft thinking?

Thanks for the updates, Tyrannical!

We were able to set multiple configurations (we did up to 4 configurations) and were able to assign and switch them as expected. At this time, I'm going to suggest you do a

full factory reset on your console (including games & apps, since this is an app issue you are having). You will want to tell your friends to do the same.

Please let me know if that ends up letting you have multiple configurations saved! If it doesn't, using a phone or camera to record what is happening will help us out a lot in the long run to make sure we're doing exactly what you are doing.

Found the old interface for button layouts. Its not under button mapping anymore its under kinect and accessories. Idk why.

Yes... i have an elite controller. the thing im talking about has nothing to do with the controller itself. when you go to the button mapping menu it no longer allows you to save button configurations that you can tweak and switch on the fly...... why lol??
i play more then 2 games so im constantly having to go into my controls and manually switch layouts button by button instead of just clicking my Dark souls 3 layout or Ark, or Smite, or Elder scrolls and applying it. A huge quality of life feature was just
simply removed.

Thanks for the clarification!

We've seen the option for different configurations here on our side. Would you be able to provide a video of what you see? You may need to upload it to a file sharing site like your
OneDrive and provide the link here for me. This will help me out with seeing what you are, and then attempting to get the same results.

I only have my xbox and it only allows me to capture footage of games.

Yeah none of my friends have that feature either. Noone ive talked to can create xbox button layouts and swap them like you could before the update.

Hey there, Tyrannical!

I'm sorry to see any frustrations with button mapping! The controller configuration has been set up where only Elite controllers have the ability to switch between two different settings because of the switch at the bottom of it since the Elite controller
was released; this function has not been available for the standard controllers. There are some games in which you can change the configuration per character (like Overwatch), however this wouldn't be the same as the built in functionality with the Accessories
App.

Are you having issues with it not switching on the Elite controller? If so, is the controller simply not switching between your configurations when you hit the switch on it? I suggest first trying to restore defaults for those and then setting them up again.
Let me know how this goes if it's the case.

If you have any other concerns with the Accessories App, I'm happy to see what I can do to help out!

It used to be under ease of access > controller > button mapping, which makes alot more sense imo but aslong as i know where it is idc if they move it to the network settings next.

Aha! Thanks for the clarification on that. With this update, there were a few things moved around due to more accessibility adjustments, and this was moved along it. I am sorry that I didn't clarify that, but happy to see it's all sorted now.

Are you still experiencing the audio distortions? Are they as I described? Let me know if you still want to work on that or if it's resolved itself.
