Gamers don’t have to rely exclusively on their gaming consoles for their daily sessions and can play their favorite games on Windows 10 through digital distribution services like Steam and Uplay. A lot of them like to use gaming controllers. If you also like to use a controller with your Windows 10 games, what do you do when Uplay is not detecting your controller? Well, today we’ll take a look at how to fix your controller if it’s not detected in Uplay.
What can I do if Uplay is not detecting my controller?
1. Install the latest drivers
If you want to reinstall the latest version of your drivers automatically, without spending too much time or effort, you have dedicated software like DriverFix Plus, you have the guarantee of reliable driver installation without causing other system malfunctions due to faulty drivers.
2. Check for in-game controller settings
If Uplay doesn’t recognize your controller but in other apps works, check for any in-game controller settings when you start a new game. In some games the default input device is set to keyboard and mouse. You’ll have to change it to controller/gamepad. Make sure to also check the installation folder of your game for any config files, as some titles use dedicated apps for choosing the input device and additional settings. So make sure that your device is enabled and set up properly in every game. If you’re interested in how to use your Xbox One controller in Windows 10, check out this dedicated guide.
