Now you should only see this one section referencing your actual controller.Want to check out our previous AMAs? Click here. For better visual clarity I have striked out the areas to delete below ( Note: the order may be different than shown): We want to delete the sections that have pad_config guid's that contain all 0's and all 1's.
Later after restarting my computer I realized that Windows automatically and correctly puts Xbox 360 controller for Windows in the correct priority so that its Player 1 in every games that supports an xinput controller. In my case this disabled my wireless mouse. You want to disable the one that has the option. You may find two as in my case but right clicking both showed me that only one had the option to "Disable device". Now in the list look under "Human Interface Device".
Windows 10 much like 8 except right click the start button and choose Device Manager.
Windows 8 right click the lower left space of the desktop and choose Device Manager. If you do not have further issues past this point, then simply enjoy!Īfter following steps above, go into Device Manager which is under control panel in 7. If windows is detecting another device as a gamepad and giving it priority then continue for a possible solution to this issue. This is due most likely to other usb "HID" devices on your system (such as a keyboard or mouse). There is a possible issue though were restarting Windows may reset the way your controller is detected. Your 360 Controller should be listed as pictured when fixed. Now that Windows sees it as Player 1 you will have no problem with Crazy Taxi or any other game that does not choose your 360 controller as your preferred device. You can check this by going back to the list in Game Controller settings and making sure your controller is on top of the list.
Windows now should give priorty to your controller. For wireless you will instead unplug the receiver and plug back in. If wired, simply unplug and plug back in and let Windows detect the controller.
For Windows 8/10 go to settings, devices, Bluetooth then click "Add Bluetooth or other device" and pair as usual.Īctual 360 controllers will be a tad different but over all the same as we are just resetting the controllers. Go to control panel for 7 and then select Bluetooth and choose add device and pair as usual. In my case with my Asus controller that meant pairing it with Windows again. Now you need to get Windows to recognize the controller again. To fix this we need to go back to Devices and Printers and remove any gamepads and 360 controller. Think of the list as Top is player 1 and each device listed below is player 2, Player 3, etc. Now here lies the problem, if gamepads are on top of the list and your Xbox 360 for Windows controller is on the very bottom, your controller is not being recognized as Player 1. Right click either one and choose "Game controller settings". Now you will see some devices listed including a gamepad and a 360 controller. For 8 and 10 you will go to settings, devices, then on the right, click Devices and printers. I use the Asus Gamepad (TV500BG) which is a Bluetooth xinput controller that will detect as a compatible wireless 360 controller.ĭepending on your windows version you may have to take slightly different steps, but you want to get to "Devices and Printers". In my case Windows 10 shows I have 2 gamepads and 1 Xbox360 for Windows controller installed. The problem is that Windows actually shows more than one controller.
