Controller disconnecting/reconnecting & Error message when exiting the game

[ElazulHP]

Hello,

Recently this past month I've been having my XB360 wired controller randomly disconnecting and reconnecting on me. Sometimes I'll need to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work again. However, it has gotten worse now. It will disconnect and won't work once I plug it back in even though i'm hearing the sound of it connecting to windows and then when I exit out of the game it displays an error message. Please see screenshot below of error. I'm not having any problems with the controller in other games. I've tested it with several other games from Skyrim to Battlefield 1 and this is the only game I experience this issue on. Anyone know what may be the cause of this or how I might resolve it? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: The windows button in the center works while everything else doesn't in game. I can even navigate on the sub menu from that button press, but nothing in game registers my controller presses.
