Rolled back the driver, or the whole update?

I have the Bluetooth one and it went on the fritz there on Wednesday. Uninstalled pretty much everything it used and plugged it in with USB. Downloaded the firmware update through the Xbox Accessories app and then paired the Bluetooth and it's working well.
No firmware update, firmware version here is 2.3.2385.0.
Can confirm that the workaround for Unity games in which you start the controller after you launch the game seems to work in Gone Home, but not in Ittle Dew.
I think I did all of this and I had it working properly at one point on Wednesday, but when I booted my pc again on Thursday I was having the same problems again.
I have the same problem. Two controllers detected in Steam, double inputs on the d-pad. Dragon's Dogma unplayable (LT swivels the camera right and reverts to keyboard controls while pressed for example).
I reinstalled the driver and that didn't work. I updated the firmware and that didn't work.
I get the same problem whether I'm wired via USB or wireless using the dongle.
Need fix so I can get my Dragon's Dogma fix

The entire update. Only took 10 mins.
And after using the anniversary update for a few days, I can't tell that I'd be missing much.
Got to settings> update & security > recovery. Then roll back from there.
Everyone affected should go and post here

(Not my post, I just found someone else complaining of the same issue)
So Microsoft have a little more visibility of it. I've just spoken to one of their tech guys who said this is probably your best bet combined with tweeting at them.

For real? Odd. I've had the controller since last Friday (I'm on insider so I've had the anniversary update since then too) and Wednesday it borked up. It seems to be properly installed for me now. In Bluetooth settings before Wednesday it was showing the name as "Xbox One Wireless Controller xxxxxx" where the X's were a long item key I guess. Since redoing it like I said the key is ko longer there, so I assume there was some driver issue.
Although I do still get a C++ visual runtime error everything I connect it.

This. Constantly having to reattach the adapter, plus random disconnects. MS doesn't give a fuck, or this shit would have been fixed an eternity ago.

It looks like there might be an issue with how Windows 10 1607 (Anniversary Update) detects game controllers in general. I found this thread on Reddit covering an issue with Steam Controller in Big Picture and thought it might be relevant to those having issues with the Xbox One controller in Big Picture.
Can someone try this workaround and report back?
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamContr...windows_10_anniversary_update_may_lead_to_sc/
If this workaround is effective, I'll be happy to forward this on as a bug.

Tried a UWP game. It works fine.
For me the update finally fixed the previous issues with the Xbox One Controller + the wireless adapter. Previously certain games would register the triggers as other random buttons on the controller. Seems to be mostly Unity based games, but even some games using other engines were affected and this was down to a MS driver. TOOK AGES for them to fix it. Not to mention acknowledge the issue.

My XBOX One controller is working perfectly on this update, I was getting worried so I tried the games that some are having issues with like Dragons Dogma and its fine, Steam Big Picture Mode is only showing one controller.
It is weird that some are fine while others aren't, this update probably should of been tested a bit more.

Can you walk and look up and down at the same time in DD?

I just tested it out for you and yes I can walk/run and look up/down at the same time, just like before the Anniversary update.
I don't want to jinx myself but I think I got lucky this time, this update is a hit or miss for many people.

mine is fine
I had that alpha-numeric key showing up too until I did the Anniversary update. The key is currently gone but my controls are still screwed.

Did you try the workaround I posted above?
I'm honestly willing to file a bug report on this if people here are actually interested in fixing the problem.
That workaround only applies to Steam Controllers. You can't add Xbox controllers the same way this workaround describes adding a Steam Controller.
Pathfinder

Not true. Game controllers like Xbox One wired show up in Device Manager as a "HID-compliant game controller". The instructions in the Reddit article could potentially apply to any controller.

Yep. Everything is working fine over here. The only thing I had to do with my controller after updating to Anniv... was to re-PAIR my Bluetooth connection with the controller.
Also, no double inputs either:
You can disable from device manager, yes. Disabling and enabling in Device Manager does not solve the problem. The Reddit article says to disable the controller and then add it through Steam, which is not possible using an Xbox controller.

Gotcha, that's what I was looking for. I'm trying to find out if this is a driver issue or a Steam API issue.
I haven't tested in many games, but people are reporting issues in certain games, particularly Dragon's Dogma. My assumption is that it is not a Steam issue if other applications (such as Dragon's Dogma) are now having control issues as well.
Here's my Steam input devices if anyone is interested. I'm connected over Bluetooth as I mentioned earlier. If I connect via USB instead of Bluetooth, I will have two identical "XInput Controller" devices listed.

Just tried my Elite controller via Wireless Adapter with Steam Big Picture and I'm getting Doubled inputs and B-button and Lb/Rb are not functioning. B-button, instead of just going back as normal is acting more like the Home-button.
Tried Elite via USB connection and getting those same results.
Tried with a standard Xbox One controller w/USB and Wireless Dongle and got the same results.
Tried New Xbox One S controller via USB and it worked perfectly.
Tried New Xbox One S controller via Wireless Dongle Adapter and it is giving me the same results as the Elite and standard controllers.
Already pointed out that the S controller via Bluetooth is working perfectly as well.

Fun stuff. Luckily I have the new controller or else I'd be pissed. Hopefully those affected with issues get this fixed asap.

I have the new controller, tried with dongle and bluetooth, both are broken. Also updated the controller firmware.
ugh
Fuck, I have this exact problem with my Elite wireless. I thought it was fixed with the anniversary update but nope, still getting this shit every time I restart my PC:
After the Anniversary update I had to reinstall the driver and change the adapter from a USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 port to get it working, but it's still fucking up...

Faulty drivers can cause all sorts of weird issues. Some will experience them, others won't.
Thankfully though, since it appears to be a driver issue, it can be patched very easily by Microsoft over Windows Update.

This fixed it for me.
Considering it took them over a year to address the issues with the previous version of the driver (primarily the problem that was plaguing FF13/13-2 and wide range of Unity games), I guess we'll wait for the two year anniversary.

I just did a completely fresh install of Windows 10 Anniversary Update from media, with nothing installed but graphics drivers, the Xbox One controller drivers, and Steam to test this out. I can confirm I am getting double input in Steam Big Picture and Dragon's Dogma with the controller whether wired or wirelessly (which is an original revision of the controller with latest firmware via Xbox Accessories app).
Edit: Hopefully Microsoft does something about this faulty driver situation...

Have you tried rolling the controller driver back to the previous? Someone suggested it above and if mine weren't working right now, I'd totally try it.

YES! this fixed it for me
If you have an elite and are connecting wireless, there is no xinput device at first
you have to plug in the usb cable to your controller, then it will show up, then you can do this. after that, everything is working again for me

My wireless Xbox One controller can connect directly to my computer's bluetooth thingy without an adapter and it is working fine. Try using it without the adapter? If you're running Windows 10 the adapters aren't needed any more for Xbone controllers I think.
the new xbox one controllers have bluetooth (the one that comes with the S and the custom colour ones). the older ones still need the dongle.
