    The favorite corporation released an update. You need to remove GameInput via Programs.

    And disable the GameInput service: open the Services window (search for services.msc), find GameInput Service, right-click it, and set the Startup type to Disabled to prevent it from running.

    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    Based on your inputs, it seems that there is a power loss on the device when using the Xbox controller. In addition, other drivers may also be a factor, as it might be due to miscalibration, in this case. Can you please check the System logs on the PC so I can further examine the root cause of the issue?

    To do this, kindly follow the steps from this link:
