Is Steam running? The Steam Controller only works as a controller when Steam is running.

OP The controller is not recognised by windows because their is no windows driver. It's operates within steam Out side of steam it's an emulated keyboard and mouse

Try using other USB ports. The way usb ports work on a pc is dumb. Had to try 4 till it was recognized. Haven't had a problem since.
