Issues with Xbox controller
I have an Xbox Series X wireless controller. Connected with a dongle. It worked basically from the start.
The issue is - I always have to unplug the dongle and plug it again to work.
It works like this - I fire it up, all good. Then I stop my game, the controller would power off after a couple minutes due to inactivity. When I power it on again one of two things would happen:
1. It won't connect at all. The solution is to disconnect the dongle and plug it again
2. It will connect to the dongle but Steam won't detect it. It says that no controller is connected. Restarting Steam doesn't work. The solution is the same - unplug and plug the dongle again.
Which makes it pretty inconvenient constant replugging with how my PC is located.
I tested this on my son's Windows laptop and it's working fine. Controller also has the newest available firmware.
Is there anything I can check or do to troubleshoot this?
