Hello everyone, i have a weird problem
so my xbox one controller used to work perfectly until i updated his firmware (through the xbox accessories app using another pc with vanilla windows)
now, i can pair my xbox via bluetooth like before, it seems to work fine, it even work with some "online controller tester" websites...
BUT, it doesnt work in any games!
on vanilla windows it does work but on my debloated (gameros) windows it doesnt!
reverting firmware "solve" that problem and the controller work in games as usual
ive tried copying drivers from vanilla windows but it doesnt fix the issue...
i noticed the "xbox wireless controller" & "microsoft bluetooth le enumerator" (which are the same version in each windows install), but it have different version in the debloated and the vanilla windows...

any help would be appreciated!!
 
I would check your driver removals for generic Bluetooth devices.
didnt see anything that seems off, i dont mind sharing my preset if you mind looking

i think it might be something related to windows update perhaps, since in my debloated iso i dont have windows updates
so maybe it cant update the xbox wireless controller driver?

EDIT: did some testing to reinforce my theory,
I installed a vanilla non debloated windows, without any internet connection.
when i paired the controller, it didnt work in games and the driver was old...
which must mean you get it through windows updates...
since i dont have windows updates on my debloated windows, any idea on how to get that driver would be appreciated
you cant find the driver online last time i checked and i couldnt transfer it from my vanilla windows to the debloated one (unless anyone knows more?)

With Bluetooth devices, it's very common for WU (in the background) to find a better driver which works.

If you have a licensed edition of NTLite, you can import the host system's non-default drivers into the image.

On the free edition, you can use pnputil to export the same drivers. Then import the drivers from the local folder.
Code:
pnputil /export-driver * D:\drivers

I already tried this command and unfortunately it wont export the xbox wireless controller / Microsoft bluetooth le enumerator drivers...
When baking the host drivers through ntlite it does the same thing? If it wont export witht the command is it worth trying with ntlite?
 
The alternative is to open Device Manager, find the Xbox controller driver's name, and copy the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository folder matching that name.
