Hi,
Update didn't work, I checked everything software related, even updated bios, so not sure if this is just a hardware issue.
As for your steps.
I tried usb cables, they are solid, the problem is it is not recognize at start up, but once the computer is on, after plugging the controller again it gets recognized, Im afraid because this right here feels like a software issue, however, it was working fine before and I didn't made any modifications to the windows whatstover, it just stopped working, so then again it might be a harware issue! so confusing! haha The controller cable that does into the mobo does have two usb connections they both say "B" but the controller itself only has one, not sure if the other should be plugged somewhere, don't think so, since it was already like that when I opened up the case.
power supply is solid, tried elsewhere and it is good, as mentioned, if I unplug the power cable and plug it back in, the controller gets recognized, don't think this is a power issue at all.
Sitches are good, nothing has been modified here.
will try on deleting the folder when I get back home.
Thanks,
