Xbox One Controller button inputs are detected only on Xbox Accessories and Game Bar app,...

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this FANTASTICENNY

We can try to isolate the problem a bit more, for this please try:

0. Connect the controller to a different PC and check if something similar happens

A. Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily
Restart the PC and try again

B. Do a clean boot in your PC and try again

C. Disable completely steam controller input / configuration.
Restart the PC and try again

D. Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there

Are you playing on Windows 10 or Xbox One?

If on Xbox One, I would recommend checking out the
Xbox Acessories app for if it's configured to open the guide when you hold the button down.

If on Windows 10, then I would recommend checking out the Game Bar settings in Settings > Gaming > Game Bar and see if you have a shortcut set to open that app.

Might also be an issue with the controller, where pressing the X button also inadvertently 'presses' the Guide button on the controller?

Anyways, let us know if you have any questions about that.

Best of luck!

Hi,

more info according joysticks and buttons for the adaptive controller can be found here https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller

For programming the device you have to use the Xbox accessories app.

You can find it on your console or in the
xbox store

in the app you can

• Assign up to 3 profiles to the controller

• Create and save up to 256 profiles in the app

• Remap all input ports

• Configure thumbstick sensitivity curves

• Change thumbstick calculation

• Configure Xbox button brightness

• Rename your controller

• Swap thumbstick X and Y axes

• Assign Shift button, and configure Shift inputs

Being on PC, I have this issue as well. There is no way to map "take a screen shot" or "Start/stop Recording" to the Elite controller through the Xbox Game Bar, or Accessories App....the button mapping works fine on the accessories app, but the Game Bar application does not recognize the button inputs from the controller when attempting to assign a short cut. Short cuts must be assigned via Key Board currently, and the short cuts do not translate over IE: 'Shift - A' on the key board is not the equivalent of 'Shift-A' on the controller. To use the screenshot or recording feature on PC, I currently have quickly hit the short cut on the keyboard, then get back to the controller...very inefficient.

With the software you can at least verify if the adaptive controller is functioning correctly which will give you a better start point for troubleshooting.

Customize adaptive controller

Customize the Xbox Adaptive Controller in the Xbox Accessories app

• The Xbox Accessories app is available on Xbox One and Windows 10.
• The Xbox Accessories app won’t detect your controller if you’re using Bluetooth to connect to your PC. Connect your controller using Xbox Wireless, or plug the included USB-C cable into the back of the Xbox Adaptive Controller and plug the other end into
  your PC. For more info, see
  Connect the Xbox Adaptive Controller to a PC.
• If the Xbox Accessories app isn’t installed on your PC, you can get it in the Microsoft Store.

Create profiles and switch between them

To create a controller profile:

1. Using your Xbox Adaptive Controller, open the Xbox Accessories app.
2. Scroll to the Xbox Adaptive Controller, then select Configure.
3. Select New profile, give your profile a name, then configure your changes.
   
   Note Any button that you reassign will also apply to other inputs that have the same value. For example, if you reassign
   D-pad down on the face of the controller to the
   Y button , then the
   D-pad down 3.5mm port will also be assigned to the
   Y button .
4. When you’re done, press the B button.

Create multiple profiles in the app and switch between them using the Xbox Adaptive Controller’s built-in
Profile button.

1. Open the Xbox Accessories app, scroll to the Xbox Adaptive Controller, then select
   Configure.
2. In Profiles, select a controller profile you’ve created or create a new one.
3. Choose a slot.

You can assign a slot for up to three profiles. Press the Profile button on the Xbox Adaptive Controller to switch between them. When no bars appear lit next to the
Profile button, the controller is using the default button mapping.
