Unknown XBOX 360 controller for Windows 11 installation
I am posting this here because X-Plane forums did not have any response to this problem. A user there noted when they transitioned to Windows 11 they started experiencing this problem.
Hi, I was using X-Plane 11/12 software the other day and in the logs I recieved this:
Hardware ADDED(28de, 11ff) - Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) at path \\?\hid#vid_8087&pid_0ac2#6&2a20919&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}
0:00:00.000 I/JOY: REGISTER Joystick device: Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) - VID:10462PID:4607, this is a familiar device.
I do not use an XBOX 360 controller. I used to have Monect PC software, but I had deleted it months ago, and the device manager shows nothing under Monect PC remote software. I cannot find this VID/HID anywhere in my device manager, it just keeps appearing by will, almost like malware, even if I try removing controller settings, it returns one way or another.
Please help, for I want to use my mouse for flight simming software since I am currently not in possession of my joystick.
All the PID/HIDS here do not have that 8087.
The 8087 identifier is usually with Intel related drivers/devices.
This is what happens when my X-Plane 11/12 software is terminated in the log file.
0:20:48.150 I/JOY: UNREGISTER Joystick device: Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) - VID:10462PID:4607
The even stranger part is that it does not appear in joy.cpl.
