Hello,Alex Yuri

please try following below and this should Hopefully resolve your issue:

Uninstall then reinstall the Xbox Accessory App from the store. Then try the xbox controller next.

If that doesn't work, try this next step:

If Windows doesn’t install the driver automatically, you can update the driver manually via Device Manager. Follow these steps:

1) On your keyboard, press Win+R (Windows logo key and R key) at the same time to invoke the run box.

2) Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter on your keyboard.

3) Expand the branch Microsoft Xbox Controller.

4) Right-click on the expanded Microsoft Xbox Controller and select Update driver (On lower Windows 10 versions, select Update Driver Software).

5) Click Search automatically for updated driver software. Then Windows will install the new driver for the device.

6) Check to see if you can use the Xbox Controller properly.

Let us know if any of those steps solved your controller issue and update us here.

Hope this helps and Happy Gaming!!

Hey Crimson,

I've experienced issues like this in the past and it usually has something to do with a background program. See if there's anything in particular that you have running when it's working compared to when it's not working. Also, alt-tabbing can cause some
inconsistencies with some games. Think back to when it didn't work, did you alt-tab that session prior to recording?

Hope this helps!

Yeah actually, I think that's the issue there, I do alt tab but not during the recording, let's say I play for 2 hours I would alt + tab out to reply to a message on discord or look up something and an hour later I would record a clip, guess that's what
it is then, thanks, but is there any work around other than having to reset my game completely when I alt + tab because usually I have to do that during a game session, if not, that's fine, just looking for any answer with that
