When controller disconnects, FFXIV does not re-activate and prioritize it on return

[autopatch]

On PC, most current version with all updates installed. I have a Xbox Elite 2 wireless controller connected by Bluetooth called "Bluetooth LE XINPUT" which is designated in Windows as the "preferred" game controller device in Control Panel. There is a second wired usb "game controller" called Footswitch which is only used to control the mute status of the microphone and has no other functionality related to game play.

The wireless controller is designated as the controller I wish FFXIV to use in the FFXIV System Configuration in the Gamepad Menu. The wireless controller is recognized and it works correctly immediately when I boot up FFXIV without any further intervention.

Whenever the controller disconnects (usually for power save / idle reasons), FFXIV defaults to Footswitch for some reason. When I turn the wireless controller back on, FFXIV sees that the preferred controller is back, but it does not use it, and does not change the FFXIV System Configuration default back to the preferred game controller device; FFXIV just leaves it as "Footswitch" until I manually go back into FFXIV Settings and re-select "Bluetooth LE XINPUT".

The desired behavior would be that when the wireless controller re-appears and is detected by FFXIV, that the Windows system designated Preferred Controller is re-activated as the FFXIV preferred primary controller without having to manually go into FFXIV Configuration Settings panels. This is how the FFXIV system responds when there is no other "controller" attached to the system. The difference in this use case is that a non-preferred wired "controller" is not being de-selected.

I'm happy to provide screenshots or video of the steps to reproduce if required.

Thank you.
