After disconnecting my xbox one controller from bluetooth it keeps scrolling in down in windows even though the controller is diconnected. The controller has no faults, it's practically brand new. This happens randomly, there's nothing specific that causes this.
Is there a way to fix this without restarting my pc? I don't want to fucking restart my pc every time I go in a game.

weird issue for sure, no one else has ever reported this and it doesn't happen when I turn off my Xbox controller. It seems like the controller must be sending some type of scroll down event that repeats when disconnected but I can't seem to reproduce it.
The only potential easy fix I can think of for this issue is to try typing WindowsLogo+Ctrl +Shift+B. It should beep when you do it.

Didn't work

ah okay, well good luck hope someone has other ideas.
maybe in the meantime you can try it out the controller on a 2nd computer and see if it does the same thing, might indicate the controller itself is the fault, or not. Additional careful scientific testing may reveal clues though.

this is what it does
This also applies to settings app, xbox game bar, search, anything windows.

and it only happens when you turn off your controller?

When it starts it keeps doing this no matter what
Even restarting windows explorer doesnt fix this

unplugging repluggin doesnt fix anythign
yeah randomly
sometimes it doesnt happen
sometimes it does

if I had to guess I'd say the most likely cause is the controller has stick drift and was sending the scroll command at the very moment it got turned off, so it never could send the "stop scrolling" command.

So is there a way to fix it?

If that's really the problem it probably can't be fixed without replacing the controller. Although perhaps you could try to test that theory but using the same controller on a 2nd computer and see if it does the same problem.

Before I got a bluetooth dongle I was using the same controller with a wire, no problems back then.

that could potentially be a difference since bluetooth transmits differently than the USB connection

I'm wondering if there's a way to just end some taks in task manager and have this issue fixed

No I think that'd be basically impossible since it's a hardware interrupt that's repeating.
Heck I doubt even logging fully off the computer back to the login screen (which ends absolutely all processes), probably wouldn't even help
although that might be a cool test

i'm really surprised the Win+Ctrl+Shift+B didn't help since that resets all connections and interfaces, rescans for plug-and-play and all that

By any chance, could it have something to do with services?
Something like bluetooth support service?

Something like bluetooth support service?
honestly the sky is the limit I don't think I have a good hunch in this case. i suppose it couldn't do any harm to try restarting the service when it occurs to try it

It happened again, stopping the bluetooth support service didnt help.
Can you help me find the thing responsible for scrolling down like that?
fringe nebula
honestly it may not even be a service. But even to try to figure it out, I think I'd have to be able to have the issue to test on my end

Could you give me some pointers to make it easier to find?
