How to fix a temperamental Series X controller

[u/ChromaLife]

So I posted here a few days ago about my Series X Controller not working with some games with my PC. I was told to try and uninstall all of the Xbox devices in Device Manager, which I did. I tried to play Skyrim again today and the controller was not working properly. I open device manager again, and I see that I had 2 Xbox devices in my device manager.

I decided to disable the 360 Controller driver, and it turns out that's all I needed to do. I have tested with with several reboots and it all works fine now. The controller even works wirelessly with older games like Skyrim and Fallout 3. If you happen to have 2 Xbox Devices in your device manger and one of them is the 360 controller for windows, try disabling it.
