Huh. I'm happy to say I found a workaround myself. Here's an example of how to fix this for Trials Fusion, which is notorious for exhibiting this issue. It seems when games use the default microsoft driver/configuration, on a bluetooth-connected xbox one
controller, there is major FPS lag. This can be tested by holding the controller behind your back and seeing the FPS drop significantly. However, using Steam's driver/config and adding the game as a non-steam product allows it to work. Bizarre.

The fix:

1. Install Steam

2. Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings

3. Check "xbox configuration support"

4. Games > Add a non-steam game to my library

5. Click Browse

5. Browse to your UPlay folder and select the Trials Fusion executable

6. Run the game from within Steam. Hold the controller behind your back. It runs at a solid framerate!

Hey Microsoft - could you please fix this issue natively? And not just leave us out in the cold to fend for ourselves?

Sorry to hear about the trouble Freezevortex!

If you haven't already, try a full power cycle on your Xbox One by holding the power button for 10 seconds (or until your Xbox One powers off). If that doesn't help please be sure to try uninstalling the game and re-install it to see if there's any change.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, check if your controller has a firmware update.
