Edge not recognizing Xbox controllers (for Xbox cloud gaming) anymore
This problem is now present since around 6 months or longer, some update in Edge totally broke gaming controller support. Problem is reported by countless people on here too: https://www.reddit.c...

Hi! Of course, the info you provided is very helpful! I had a look and tried replicating your issue in Edge 112.0.1722.64 (Official build) (64-bit), but it worked as expected. I have been able to use the X360 gamepad in xcloud too. For the test, I used a Microsoft wireless receiver just like the one in the link and a Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless gamepad. I was wondering if you are still having issues with this. Is it the case?
Thanks!

Hi GabrielSB - thanks for getting back to me. I've tried again just now in Microsoft Edge
Version 115.0.1866.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) but same applies - gamepad not recognised (using the X360 version with the adapter).
Pad also not recognised in https://gamepad-tester.com/ in Edge but using the tester in Brave and logging in to Xcloud also in Brave both worked ie. I could play a game.
This issue seems limited solely to Edge (at least on my machine).

- GabrielSBHey xclouder, to have a deeper look on your specific situation, could please send us your Edge histogram data?
To make we have a clean snapshot, please fully close Edge and restart it. Also make sure that you have only this gamepad connected to your machine. Then, repro your issue by navigating to https://gamepad-tester.com/ and press the gamepad buttons in an attempt to make it show up in the page. After doing it, please navigate to edge://histograms/Microsoft.GamepadWgiDataFetcher , copy all the information shown on the page (ctrl+a and ctrl+c), and send back to us here.
Hopefully this will help us to understand what is happening in your machine.
Thanks!
