Controller becoming unresponsive periodically

[Michael]

For some reason SE marked this old issue as resolved without any reply. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-periodically/
Controller on Windows is still broken, especially after Windows 10 Anniversary Update last year.

Dear SE, please don't ignore this again, it's been way too many years.

Brief explanation: game client for Windows constantly checks if any new gamepads connects and if any new device connected/disconnected – game controls freeze for a moment.
At the same time Windows has a lot of devices in Device Manager, including Software Devices, from time to time Windows connects/disconnects them.
Together it leads to losing control in game (buttons don't work and you keep moving in same direction uncontrollable) and it may happen pretty often, like once per 10-30 minutes.
