So for weeks I've been trying to get my XBox One controller working with Windows 10 Pro x64. Symptoms I've had were that every time I plugged in my XBox One controller via USB cable (From the XBox), I would lose my mouse and/or keyboard inputs entirely, even if they were removed and plugged back in, until I restarted the system without the XBox One controller connected.
Initially I tried loading the XBox Accessories app from the Store but it refused to, and so eventually I just completely wiped the system and did a clean load of Windows 10 Pro x64 1903 (And completed all additional updates).
Having completed the Windows reload, I was able to load XBox Accessories, however now it won't detect the controller when it is plugged in (And I'm still losing my mouse and/or keyboard inputs.
Last night the keyboard kept working and I was able to navigate to Device Manager and found that the "USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller - 0.96 (microsoft)" was in a warning state. Keeping Device Manager open I un-plugged the XBox One controller and the "USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller - 0.96 (microsoft)" device vanished from Device Manager.
So I then plugged the controller back in, and completely uninstalled the "USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller - 0.96 (microsoft)" device and restarted the system. Upon Windows load I opened Device Manager and plugged the XBox One controller back in. "USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller - 0.96 (microsoft)" now came up WITHOUT warning, and eureka, now I could see the XBox One controller in Device Manager and my mouse and keyboard kept working! So I opened the XBox Accessories app, and again, no detection of the controller.
With Device Manager and the XBox Accessories app still up, I then removed and re-connected the XBox One Controller... and right back to the initial issue, "USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller - 0.96 (microsoft)" back into warning state, no XBox One controller in Device Manager, and lost my mouse input (this time).
So, now I've been digging through the internet trying to find a legitimate clean driver for the "USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller - 0.96 (microsoft)" device for Windows 10 x64, but naught, nada, nothing. And of course all the documentation from Microsoft on how to resolve XBox One controller issues in Windows 10 are "Plug it in, it should just work, and if not, load the XBox Accessories app" - yep, thanks Microsoft.
1) Has anyone else run into this issue? Did you manage to solve it? How?
2) Microsoft, for the love of all the computer gods in the 'verse, just put the dam drivers up on your site for direct download. Nothing, NOTHING, ever always "just works" as intended, especially when Windows is involved.
The last remaining thing I can think of doing is to actually plug my XBox One back in, connect the controller, and see if there are any firmware updates for it or something. Which, time willing, I'll do this evening.
