And this is where I remember why I gave up on PC gaming. It is always something, and the multiple configuration of parts means often no one has the same issues as you and it is a pain to nail down the issue.

The Xbox controller Win 10 driver is broken - when will MS fix it?

Yeah, this is pretty out of the norm and not really typical of the modern PC experience.

What OP is talking about happened to me yesterday for the first time. I don't typically use my controller to play most games, but I was flying around in JC3 and then decided to hop on R6:Siege and just left the controller on the desk. Once it turned itself off in the middle of the match it left me unable to use my mouse at all. I couldn't move laterally at all and the horizontal movement was very jittery. It definitely caught me by surprise and the only thing I could do was restart the PC completely. Sucked I had to abandon the team as I'm easily the best Siege Sledge player ever, that ever was, or ever will be and they were forced to suffer a loss.
Good to know what caused it though. It's annoying, but I can't really seeing it affecting me in the future now that I know. Still, it'd be nice if MSFT gave a little more love to the controllers support on WIN10.

Its the Xbox One Wireless Adapter and the Update that has a conflict. Its been like this all month and not sure why it hasn't been fixed yet.
Remove this update: KB3140768

This fixed it for me. Annoying as hell I thought my motherboard was fucked.

Just be aware that W10 will keep updating with this update without any notification. You will need to hide the update with the their tool.
Its dumb that you are forced into updates honestly. They will need to fix that going forward.
Yeah I did that too. Took me a second to figure out which one it was but it worked

Hardly a reason to give up on PC gaming. In a way, with the amount of updates, patches, etc. you get on modern consoles, they aren't that different from PCs... and oftentimes more difficult to troubleshoot/fix.

They have for me. I used to get it all the time, but now it hasn't happened in about a week.

Works fine for me, for what it's worth. It had to install a new driver when I upgraded to windows 10

So THAT'S what's been causing my issues. Thanks OP for posting.
Pretty sure i saw in a Reddit thread that the latest ''preview'' build on Windows 10 supposedly fixes this, but it also has a known issue that using USB controllers might freeze your PC. So i'm pretty sure they're working on it.
Still, a month is a long time to fix something as potentially harmful as this. Hard restarts are never good for your PC.

This sucks... bought this adapter for my new PC and now my 360 wireless adapter just stops working. Ugh!

I discovered this nasty little bug during The Division launch. PC would "freeze" up after I stopped playing. I later found the thread on NeoGAF and saw it was bug.
I bought one of those Mayflash Wii U Pro Controller adapters for my PC and switched over to my Wii U Pro controller. No issues since. I'll probably just stick with my Wii U controller for a long time.

It would be one thing if the problem was obvious.
But there are people out there that still don't even know what the problem is, and that is what is truly upsetting.
The good news is that there was a fix and it came in decent time.
The magic of the internet is what makes PC gaming a sensible choice.

Yup, thanks for bringing this up OP, I legitimately thought I had a nasty virus on my PC, since this has happened multiple times. I hope MS fixes this asap, that is one nasty bug.

I just tried this based off your post. Have been trying to get it to happen again all day and it hasn't happened. I haven't done anything like uninstall drivers either.
Noticed I had a new update installed today (KB3140741), maybe that fixed it?
No. But haven't checked whether the just released one fixes it.

Sir!
Never had this issue. I had the batteries die mid-game this past weekend. Slammed some new batteries in, resumed playing. No issues with the mouse or anything like that.
Though this is a bummer. Pinnacle is essential for older games that don't support controllers. Hope they find a fix soon.

Heh. I never had this problem until I read this thread. I think you jinxed me.
The since released update for the "Xbox Accessories" app (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/xbox-accessories/9nblggh30xj3) has added a battery indicator

I've noticed this issue lately and i had no idea what was causing it! its happened about 3 times this month and usually shortly after finishing up playing a game on my pc with the controller connected.
I did wonder if it was controller related...

I'll have to test later to see if I encounter it. For me, it seemed to happen when uplay was running and then when my controller turned off.

I had a similar issue where after playing Trackmania Turbo with the Xbox One controller (wired), the mouse would behave exactly like described in the OP.
And yesterday while trying to play episode 2 of TWD Michonne, just having the controller plugged would make the game stutter like crazy. Unplugging it, would bring the framerate right back at 60 fps.
The following fixed both issues :

So I am like 50% sure this issue killed one of my external hard drives. The number of hard shut downs I've had to do is nuts. Windows has always been weird with my TV setup going to my HDMI receiver then to the TV and I don't think this bug is helping. Does shutting down the controller manually help? We shouldn't even be dealing with this!
I updated the firmware of my Xbox One Elite (connected to a Xbox One Wireless Adapter) via the Xbox Accessories App on Windows 10 to fix it this. After doing that the timeout disconnections of an idle controller will not anymore trigger the lagging and mouse/trackpad click beeps... Saw this solution from a comment on a YT video about the problem happening on The Division.
Doesn't seem to work with the regular controller: Latest firmware is installed, but the issue still occurring.
Same issue when turning off the gamepad manually.
Just did the update on my elite, hopefully it solves the issue. This controller and the dongle were way too expensive for issues this basic.
Program still crash because of this MS update.
Mine has been fine for like 3 weeks now. I only had it right after the original patch early March, but since it stopped happening I assumed that the next cumulative update fixed it.
But seems other people are still reporting that it's happening to them, so it's quite curious.
