Xbox Remote Play Being Stupid

So I'm trying to play Cyberpunk 2077 on my Xbox through remote play on the Xbox app on my PC and when it connects, no matter what controller I use, on the dashboard, it keeps double scrolling. Then I enter the game and it doesn't let me hold down the D-pad to do actions such as call my vehicle or use my phone. Not to mention my character walks slowly. And it doesn't matter what controller I use, it does this stupid crap regardless. On the Xbox by itself, it works fine, but by remote play, it refuses. I tried restarting and it's still acting like this. What should I do?

Hello KingGamecube,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

This seems like an issue with the mapping or streaming signal with your Xbox PC app. Before we proceed further, may I know if the issue with controller appears when you play a game directly from the computer? (Xbox app games is preferred for testing purpose).

Also, can you please try the website Remote Play feature instead? It is a newer feature compare to the older workflow of the Xbox app. You can access it by going to https://xbox.com/remoteplay.

I'm waiting for your reply.
