You can use a registry hack to mark your connection as metered preventing updates from being applied automatically. You can also tell Windows to not update drivers.

Really dumb question...
How do i even know if i have the Anniversary update?
My PC updates all the time automatically.

Go to Settings -> System -> About. It will list your version there. 1607 is the Anniversary update.
This problem only affects Xbox One controllers.

It's a heavy weight update similar to the likes of updating from Win7 to Win8 or Win7/8 to Win10 in the first place. You'll notice the process.
You can even choose to hide certain updates so that Windows Update doesn't install them. ..but unlike earlier versions of Windows, this requires you to download some kind of file from Microsoft to enable. Google will help.

Odd. Mine seems to work fine wired with the anniversary update.
Granted, it didn't at first. I just plugged it into a new USB port and it worked.¯\_(ツ

I was looking to buy a XBox One S controller to replace my old 360 pad but how many issues are there exactly with it and Windows 10 and games? If I ever actually use BT I'll have to get a dongle since I didn't choose a mobo with Blue Tooth when I built my current PC in 2011 so it'll most likely still be connected via a USB cable.

Jesus, it's a goddamn nightmare trying to find a specific patch on MS's shitty support site.

If you chose to defer updates, you probably won't receive the fix when its released.
I'm not trying to spread FUD, but I really feel this way too. If I sign into my account on the XBONE, the console starts to freak out and crashes ever since the update.
At that point, couldn't I just switch back to getting updates though?

You could, yes. But deferring updates will defer ALL updates, including security updates and patches.
Not so, according to MS:
"When you defer upgrades, new Windows features wont be downloaded or installed for several months. Deferring upgrades doesnt affect security updates."

I stand corrected then.

So does this happen to affect other games, other than just steam?
I tried the fix, but it didn't work. (I'm using an elite controller with wireless adapter). Has anyone gotten that combo to work without double input?

Ok 8 pages later what's the current state of affairs? Is this still broken? Is this affecting only XB1 controllers? Wired or wireless?

Hey so, this issue isn't fixed for me. Controller works like a charm for every other game, but I just can't play Dragons Dogma, it detects two xbox one controllers and I get two different inputs at the same time. Reinstalled windows and the problem persist.
I should also mention that this is with a wired controller.
EDIT: Ok, fixed it by rolling back the driver. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this soon.

Is there any workaround to get wireless PS4 controllers working with DS4Windows? Thanks.
EDIT: Found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsfsTfZnPh8 will give it a try later.

I just received a 130MB steam update and this issue now seems to be fixed! Only one xinput controller detected in BPM and no more double inputs.
Note: im on windows 10 AU
Steam update only works around the actual problem in the client, MS still needs to fix it so it works everywhere.
It doesn't fix game input though. Binding of Issac still registers two inputs.I just received a 130MB steam update and this issue now seems to be fixed! Only one xinput controller detected in BPM and no more double inputs.

I'd just started Dragon's Dogma, and was really getting into it, but then the Anniversary Update hit and killed it. If it's a decent price it's worth picking up to play later.

Yep, ditto. About 10 hours in, absolutely loving it and then bam. The only game I was really playing at the time.
That only fixes Steam itself, it doesn't affect the broken games.The double Xinputs were just fixed in a steam update. Thought people might like to know.
They've been really poor at commenting on the issue, but they have been fiddling with the issue a couple of times. They fixed it back in march I think. Then they fucked it up again and now thanks to the anniversary update it's fixed again. At least in the two Unity based games I have tried. Wasteland 2 DC and Oddworld New 'n Tasty.
I see. Ms well we cud be waiting a while..

Ya this is really annoying some games are fine others are screwed unless you do the disconnect reconnect trick in device manager. You would think these idiots at Microsoft would be on this asap since they want people playing games on PC and Windows 10.
I hope we get an os level fix soon because ds4windows is awesome when it's able to do its job properly.

They really just want people to use Windows 10; games are but a means to that end.

My One S controller works with DOOM via bluetooth but not Quantum Break... which used to work when I used the wireless controller adapter. This shit is annoying.

Someone on another forum mentioned it is fixed in a pre-release Insider build that hasn't made it to retail yet... but only for Windows 10 Pro!? Odd.
Have you looked at rolling back the xinput drivers?

Damn, just ran into this with Dragon's Dogma that I just bought on Steam.
I'll see if I can get the driver rollback thing to work.
Edit: Nope. Didn't seem to work and killed the wireless feature (Xbox One Elite with Wireless adapter).
Oh Well. I'll wait for them to patch that and just stick with games where it works fine in the meantime.

Having tons of trouble just rolling back drivers for my Wired Xbox One Elite controller.
From what I can gather, it seems I can use the linked drivers to update my controller listed under XINPUT Compatible HID Device, but it won't accept older drivers when I select it from the Xbox Peripherals menu as an Xbox Elite Controller, they won't go through.

Yes, I've done that. Works fine.

Recent Windows update didn't fix it, in case anyone was wondering. It's been nearly a month now with no fix.

FTFY.
The controller was broken before the update. The update just made things worse.
OK, so this is finally affecting me. Xbox Elite USB controller in N++. The first time I played, it was perfect. After rebooting or relaunching (not sure which affected it), the game detects input coming from Player 2 instead of Player 1. This sucks.
Has Microsoft said ANYTHING about fixing the problem? I can no longer roll back the Anniversary patch.
