I'm having a problem with my controller randomly becoming unresponsive for a few seconds and my character keeps doing whatever the last action was that I inputed. I've encountered this problem over a year ago on a completely different computer with a different controller. This is in a Windows 10 PC. My controller is an X-Box One Elite Controller using a wireless dongle.

A user on a previous thread said that this was likely because a device was adding/removing itself in windows and this happening during play was causing the lag. They suggested I keep the Device Manager open and to check for if a device is being added/removed, noticeable by a flickering. I was able to confirm that the flickering existed when my controller became unresponsive, but I was not able to track down specifically what device is adding/removing itself.

Does anyone know of some way of specifically tracking down the problematic device? Is there a windows log I can look for, or do I just have to have the game open and keep staring at the device manager hoping I see a particular device disappear/reappear? Since the bug happens randomly, this is very hard to do.

As a note, this is actually a re-creation of a recent thread from a few days ago. I'm re-creating it because I asked a moderator if we could open a bug report for this issue, and they opted to move the thread to the bug report forum, which apparently was a mistake because the bug report forum auto-ignores and closes all threads which don't strictly follow their template.
