I updated to the new 1.7 update, then my controller wouldn't work. I tried to reinstall and it didn't work, I uninstalled the DS3 driver (as it was the one from the new updated, hoping it would use the older driver), didn't work, I tried to install an older version and it didn't work, I then saw that the driver for the virtual controller was updated too, I uninstalled that driver, reinstalled the older version yet again and then the controller was detected yet again. |

Have you noticed that a clean wipe is needed? |
commented Apr 10, 2016
I did, and I performed it... The clean wipe does not seem to remove the older drivers once they're installed in the system, not that the older drivers seemed to have any effect, like I said, the new drivers for the virtual controller are the ones that appear not to work properly. |

Try to remove any Xbox 360 virtual controllers, PS3 controllers and the Virtual Bus from the Devices Manager and the Driver Store. Then retry installation of the drivers |

I've done that, uninstalling the driver was the only way to fix it. I've reinstalled the driver a bunch of times already and that did not help, the issue remains the same, the controller appears as a detected device in the devices manager, it recognizes it as an xbox 360 controller, but it won't work in games, won't send or receive any input, checking the 'Game Controllers' setting doesn't show the controller there, while the older drivers do. |
