windows 10 problem
While browsing settings and moving joystick it counts as cursor left and moves mouse. Selecting with mouse doesnt work and opens the one which is highlighted. It's kinda annoying but not a deal breaker. Any workaround for that?

This is a known issue (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/367670/discussions/0/494631967660514542/).

To work around this I've assigned X to left-click.

I just wanted to post about the same thing. I have been experiencing this issue since I have upgraded to Windows 10.

Is there any planned updates to solve this?

If they knew how, I'm sure they would have done already. How can they override microsoft's half-baked controller support?

I'm not sure what you mean by controller support. What controller? We are talking about a mouse cursor that we move with CC and not by an actual mouse. Windows should not know the difference, no?

The problem is that clicking with button A doesn't work as it should in many cases. For example I can not turn off my PC with the gamepad, because for some reason it just goes into standby mode while I clearly pressed the turn off button.

Windows has built-in support for controller navigation of menus which is conflicting with CC. E.g. if you disable CC and click on the start menu you can still navigate with the controller.

It's something Microsoft needs to fix (eg. include an option to disable it). You can send them feedback using the "Feedback Hub" app.

Yeah, I have been using CC in windows 10 for a couple of days now and this is really frustrating. I can't even shut down my pc with the controller, because of the highlighted box or whatever.

So this still hasn't been fixed?

Same problem. This makes anything that involves windows 10 settings a chore.
I've been searching around the web but I haven't found a solution...

It's called Windows 10 UWP Xbox Controller Input and it sucks.

theres a thread where someone complained about this in 2016

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/367670/discussions/0/360671583802421138

is it just me or is it weird that clicking things well isnt a bigger priority for a company that makes mouse software, I mean its been an issue for almost 4 yrs

so I made my own fix for this, I use a xbox one elite controller. I remapped my buttons with the XBOX ACCESSORIES app that u can find in the microsoft store:
-swapped right and left thumbsticks
-remove A and B buttons input, swapping A and B with something else

then I remapped all the inputs in the controller companion settings in order to match my new button configuration on the controller (in particular assigned the mouse movement to the right thumbstick).

I am now not using the right thumbstick and everything is working pretty fine. I'll upload a couple of images with my configurations as an example.

standard configuration

virtual keyboard configuration

I dont know if there are some other apps to remap buttons overriding windows inputs for other controllers, but I think this should be a fix for all xbox one controllers.

ask if u need more infos. =)

tl;dr you should be complaining to Microsucks en masse about their half-assed, garbage, UI-breaking "controller support".

Complain daily. Complain loudly. Demand to be taken seriously.

Anything short of this will achieve absolutely nothing.

If they dont fix this Im going to cut my penis off and mail it to them, I demand to go down in a glorious blaze of incel rage!! If they dont meet my demands they're the retarted ones and I'll sure show them!!

I found a easy solution on the internet. Download an older xbox gamepad driver and install it over the present one.

Driver: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/gaming-consoles/Microsoft/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Controller-USB-Driver-2101349.shtml

1. Open "Device Manager".
2. Find "Xbox 360 Peripherals".
3. Select "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" and choose "Update driver".
4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software" and choose "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer".
5. Click the "Disk..." button then "search..." and select the "xusb21.inf" from the extracted driver folder. Click Ok
6. Just hit Next, let it install and restart when asked.

After thatthe gamepad should not interact with windows anymore.
