In the beginning of March, MS published a Windows 10 update that broke the Xbone Controller driver. Whenever the gamepad is disconnected from the PC (due to unplugging the cable or timeout with the wireless adapter), the mouse starts being unresponsive (laggy, can't click anything) and every mouse movement induces strange beeping noises. In addition, it becomes impossible to shut the system down (PC will never power off).
Uninstalling the update and manually downloading an older driver version through the arcane Microsoft Update catalog interface fixes the issue (http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=49128). Unfortunately, this seems to work with wired controllers only - I haven't been able to fix this issue with my MS wireless adapter (Update: See http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=198191203&postcount=23 for solution).
Even worse, the most recent Cumulative Windows 10 update, released just a few days ago, seems to include the broken driver as well.
With all this talk by Phil Spencer about supporting the PC platform, why is this issue still not fixed? In essence, I'm unable to use my wireless Xbone gamepad, as it will inevitably disconnect by itself after some time and render my system unusable.
