Xbox One Wireless Adapter does not play nicely with Steam Big Picture

Running Windows 10 and Steam.

Wired Xbox One controllers work great with Steam as anyone would tell you. Now the new wireless adapter allows us to play with our controllers wirelessly. However the wireless adapter does not have full functionality with Steam. You cannot open up the steam
overlay by pressing the xbox home button on the controller. If you plug in your controller the issue immediately resolves itself. This is pretty disappointing as I thought buying the wireless adapter would make my life a little easier not having cords around.
However not being able to bring up steam overlay is unacceptable to me. I would much rather run wired again and have everything work smoothly in Steam Big Picture Mode rather than deal with half support of the wireless adapter. Hopefully Microsoft and Valve
engineers can get together and fix this. Xbox One controllers are still king on PC and Steam is still the game platform king on PC.

Home button is not working

Yes on the PC. In steam does not work in the mode of Big Picture. For drivers xb1usb.11059.0.140526x64.msi Home button works, but it does not work cross

 

XBOX wireless + Windows USB connector controller not working in games

I had windows 10, and the controller worked well , it was like plug and play, but after i changed it to windows, the controller does not work in the game but I can still press the XBOX button to call out the Steam menu. and the controller worked in the Steam
big picture mode too, but not in the games.

 

Open the XBOX app in Windows 10

Click on the Settings Cog

Click on the Game DVR tab

Switch Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR to the Off position

 

If it is a setting problem then yes, change the xbox app settings or alternatively press Win+G on any game and change the settings for the Xbox Gamebar to not leverage the Guide button.

The fact that it works over wired, leads me to guess you potentially have a hybrid mix of old(windows 8)/new (windows 10) stack which is not supported on Windows 10.
