  1. Xbox controllers showing up as 2 controller each what is a working fix?


    This is happening on only one of my Windows 10 computers which is odd but no matter if I go wired or wireless or xbox one or 360 controllers each controller is showing up as 2 controllers. Most games still work like this but Dragon Age Inquisition will not let me use the controller under this condition. Please respond with a working fix.

    :)

    Xbox controllers showing up as 2 controller each what is a working fix?

    I have tried all of that multiple times. It used to work until recently and the only game I have added is Diablo 2 Resurrected which I have on my other computer as well without this problem arising. I can plug in a normal joystick and that only shows up as one but it will not work without the xinput feature of the xbox controllers.

    Xbox controllers showing up as 2 controller each what is a working fix?

    Hello Scott B, My name is Khaji I am the independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

    Experiencing an issue where Xbox controllers are showing up as two controllers on your Windows 10 computer can be frustrating, especially when it affects the functionality of certain games like Dragon Age Inquisition. Here are some potential solutions to try:

    1. Ensure that you have the latest controller drivers installed on your Windows 10 computer. You can visit the official Xbox website or the manufacturer's website to download and install the most up-to-date drivers for your specific Xbox controller model.

    2. Open the Device Manager on your Windows 10 computer by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Device Manager." Expand the "Human Interface Devices" section and look for any duplicate entries related to the Xbox controller. Right-click on each duplicate entry and select "Uninstall device." Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

    3. In the Device Manager, locate the "Human Interface Devices" section again. Look for any entries labeled "HID-compliant game controller." Right-click on each entry and select "Disable device." Restart your computer and check if the problem is resolved.

    4. Install the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store. Connect your Xbox controller to your computer and open the app. From there, you can update the firmware of your controller and customize its settings. Sometimes, updating the controller firmware can help resolve compatibility issues.

    5. If you're using a wired Xbox controller, try connecting it to a different USB port on your computer. Sometimes, certain USB ports may have compatibility issues, and switching to a different port can resolve the problem.

    6. Other software or applications running on your computer may interfere with the Xbox controller functionality. Temporarily disable or exit any unnecessary background applications, especially those that are game-related or use controller input, and check if the issue persists.

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    My Xbox one controller wont turn on after not updating fully

    I've fixed the controller it wasn't dead i ended up needing to install Xbox accessories on my laptop you can install this on Microsoft store. I then plugged my controller that no longer lit up or worked what so ever. It did take me a few tries to connect the controller i moved the wire around. Until my Xbox one controller showed up on the screen and then updated the controller it then started working perfectly.

    wired xbox 360 controllers

    Okay. Here's a list of what I did to try and trouble-shoot the issue.

    1 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 controllers show Player 1. Unplugged each controller individually at the in-line release/breakaway
    connector and reconnected. No change. Each still shows Player 1.

    2 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 1 Microsoft brand wireless controller into USB port on front (I know it's a wireless controller but this one is used and the rechargeable battery is completely dead and won't hold a charge.). Plugged in
    3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 regular wired controllers show Player 1. Wireless controller that's plugged into a USB port shows as Player 2.

    Thanks.
