PC Controller issues

Hey guys,
I'm a returning player, love the game :)
However, I am having the same controller issues I had before...
When I try to run in a circle, the left stick has dead zones that stops my character in place. Approximately around 270 to 330 degrees (left and upper left on the stick)
I'm using a official wired xbox 360 controller on my PC (Windows 10).
I have tried calibrating in game, reinstalling the drivers, and uninstalling and reinstalling in device manager...
I've played many other games on Steam and never had any issues with the controller.
It's manageable but it always seems to stop me in a boss fight and obviously i have a bad time :(

Anyone else having this issue?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :D
