Xbox One/Series controller registering double press on A button on Windows 10

So I've removed all Xbox controllers and Wireless Adapter from Device Manager. After ensuring I have wire only connection, I've tested the controller and after a few minutes I got a double press. After that I've remapped the buttons just as you've instructed, and after an hour of gameplay I couldn't reproduce the problem on a physcial "B" button (which software-wise served as an "A" button). Does it imply it's a purely hardware problem? Then again, it's a fourth controller that has an exact same issue.

I've messed around an Xbox Accessories app and I've noticed that physical "A" button is generally less stable than the others, e.g. while rapidly pressing it would miss a press once in a while, while others had a solid feedback.

Thank you for all your help, John.

I've read the topics you've mentioned and I've applied solutions proposed to those similar to my case, which are:

- removing any Xbox 360 Controller listed in Device Manager;

- moving the Xbox Wireless Adapter away from possible disturbance fields (previously it was close to Bluetooth Adapter);

- applying tweaks to Steam's Controller Input manager (however it seemd redundant, as I've disabled this manager entirely long time ago);

I've tried reproducing the issue in Xbox Accesories app and one of GOG's games, with no luck. During the Batman session on Steam right after applying those solutions I had two occurences of the problem. I think I will need more time and games to eventually decide whether this malfunction is gone.

Please keep this thread open, as I'm not 100% sure it's solved, and maybe someone else will have some additional insight.

Once again, thank you for all your help.

Okay, and thank you for the translation I appreciate your efforts. Let's try and confront piece by piece to see if we can find a solution, if something works then it will let me know that it could pinpoint the software issue.

For steam I found this thread on their support forums: Controller Double Tapping :: Help and Tips (steamcommunity.com) where most users experiecing this problem comments that it may be the configurator. The suggestions are:

"Under controller configuration, select the setting for the A button (or the button having issues), under activator type, give a minimum value (non zero) to fire end delay and it should fix this."

"- Right-click the game having issues
- Go to Manage > Controller Configuration
- Click the Y/X/B/A button group, bottom right corner for me
- Click the A button
- Add just a tiny bit to the slider for Fire End Delay
- Click Back, Back, Done
- Enjoy"

For Batman: Arkham Asylum/City, try these and see if it eliminates the double press issue.

For later reference I will post these for review to see if anything helps us out here:

Thank you,

When your controller is connected in your Device Manager under Network Adapters, does the Xbox Wireless adapter appear there when a device is connected?

Yes, it's titled "Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows".

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

And does it also appear in your Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & Other Devices. Mine is under "Other Devices" and titled "Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows".

Yes, it's the same title and in "Other Devices" section.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Also, what game and platform (Steam, Xbox App) are you seeing this happen...

I've seen it in many titles, but these are just some recent occurences:

- Steam, "Batman: Arkham Asylum/City" - Batman is doing a dodge (double press) instead of running (holding button);

- GOG, "Witcher 3" - immediately pick up the first item from loot search window;

- Xbox App, "Forza Horizon 4/5" - gear shift jumps two gears down, instead of one;

- Xbox App, "Psychonauts 2" - make a double jump, instead of regular one;

As I've mentioned before, the frequncy can be varying, sometimes it happens once every 30 minutes, sometimes it's 30 seconds.

I've also said that this problem occurs on wired USB connection too, so I've checked both Device Manager and Bluetooth & Other Devices windows to see how the controller is registered there.

Device Manager:
Xbox Peripherals -> Xbox Controller

Blutooth & Other Devices:

Other Devices -> Controller

(Please keep in mind I'm doing a rough translation from non-english language, so the exact names of sections might differ a bit)

I hope all this information helps troubleshoot and pinpoint the root cause of this issue. Being unable to predict whether one of the most important buttons will be registered as a single or double press renders both my Microsoft controllers useless to me.

Thank you, I'm raising the bug you filed to discuss with the relevant teams to see what their feedback is on it.

Until then, can see about compare and contrasting since I also use the wireless adapter, though mainly for my Xbox wireless headset, it should be all the same firmware considering. When your controller is connected in your Device Manager under Network Adapters, does the Xbox Wireless adapter appear there when a device is connected?

And does it also appear in your Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & Other Devices. Mine is under "Other Devices" and titled "Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows". Also, what game and platform (Steam, Xbox App) are you seeing this happen on so I can reproduce the issue and see if I can find a way to either compare and contrast successful and unsuccessful behaviors or, if i have the same issue, try to see if I can troubleshoot a solution.

Thank you,
