Now, let’s jump into the solutions.  First you need to check and do some basic  stuff and see if it fixes the problem. If   they don’t work, then we will move to  the advanced solutions from method 2.  Unplug and plug in the USB cable in a different  USB 2.0 port and check if it fixes the problem.  Also if you have plugged in your controller  to a USB hub, then remove it and directly   plug-in your computer. Next, unplug all the   other peripherals from your computer. Try plugging the controller in another   computer to check if it is working there or not. Try plugging in a computer that has Windows 8   or 7, as many users have reported this  problem to only happen on Windows 10.  If you have any consoles like Play Station  or Xbox, then try plugging the controller   in the console and check if it works. If the controller is not working anywhere,   it’s likely a hardware malfunctioning  and you will have to get a new one.  But if it does work on other PCs and  consoles, then follow the other solutions.  Method 2: Try disabling and then enabling the gamepad   driver, which would reinitialize the driver. Press the Windows + R keys.  Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. Locate the gamepad driver and right-click on it.  Click on the Disable device option  and then click on the Yes option.  Wait for a minute or so and then right-click  on it again and select Enable Device.  Restart your PC. Method 3:  Next you can try uninstalling the  controller driver and reinstalling it.  Open the Device Manager again and locate  the gamepad driver and right-click on it.  Click on the Uninstall device  option and then follow as shown.  Restart your PC and reconnect the controller  if you haven’t. Check if the issue is fixed.  Method 4:  Another thing you can try is disable the  auto turn off plugged-in devices feature.   This feature allows Windows to turn off  the plugged-in devices automatically.  Open the Device Manager again. Locate USB Serial Bus controllers and expand it.  Right-click on USB Root Hub  driver and click on Properties.  Select the Power Management tab and  uncheck the Allow the computer to turn   off this device to save power box. Click on OK to save the changes.  Method 5: The USB selective   suspend setting can also lead to this issue as it  allows the PC to suspend a USB port to save power.  Type Power & sleep settings in the Windows  search bar and select the top option.  Click on Additional power settings.  Next, click on Change plan settings  next to the selected power plan.  Select Change advanced power settings. Locate the USB settings option and expand it.  Next, expand the USB selective suspend  setting and select the Disable option.  Click on Apply and OK to save the changes.  So, that’s it!
