I moved the dongle even closer to the controller, reinstalled drivers (did nothing of course), and I managed to get it working at a reasonable rate. I had power management set up (first thing I do always with these dongles), every setting nice, everything updated. I have a Razer dock far away from it and the only other thing plugged into the system is a USB cable for the keyboard.
Still, the fact that I have to be in extremely close proximity (6m my arse) and I have to move the dongle away from USB 3.0 ports or any metal is crazy. USB 3.0 is an absolute insanity in itself, one of the biggest fuckups I've seen in terms of technology.
Dunno what to tell you. My XBO gamepad (the latter revision with BT) works fine with its proprietary dongle. I have it plugged into the back side USB port on my monitor so there's the monitor between it and gamepad 100% of the time and it works fine at up to 3 meters away or so and only start to disconnect if I move to the farthest corner of the same room. I haven't done about anything with drivers or device settings. It's very much plug and play.
Did you try disconnecting from USB ports everything but the dongle and see if that changes anything?
Moving all radio sources (phones, ipads, wifi aps, etc) to a different room for a day?
Doesn't come as a surprise if this is a Windows related problem. The controller itself is not supported as an Xbox Core controller (aka XSX). It shows up as a random XINPUT device which the Xbox Accessories app figures out to be the Core controller. Games can't see this, the damn Device Manager doesn't see this. Capture button doesn't work. This controller came out of MS months ago. Even Apple offers support already. Crazy stuff.
Yeah, as I've said Windows support for the Xbox controller is as barebones as it can be and that's completely unacceptable at this point, after all the words from MS on how they support PC gaming. They can't even support their own PC gaming peripherals.
That being said Windows 10 does see Xbox One gamepad as "Xbox One Wireless Controller". I've heard that new Xbox Series gamepads didn't have Windows drivers launched with them so maybe that's still the case.
Asus your GPU is idling at 53 Celsius you MASSIVE fucks. Setting the 0db mode to that temperature is going to fucking switch on and off the fans constantly.
Asus GPUs turn on the fans at any temperature as it's 0db logic tied not only to temps but to GPU load % change over time as well.
I cannot turn it off and make it a default because you don't let me easily customize the GPU BIOS and even your useless, totally ridiculous GPU Tweak II cannot save settings.
I think you can turn off 0db in their GPU Tweak (didn't try it myself really) but it will reset if you power down your PC completely at some point - as in pull the power plug from the wall or something like that.
Asus GPU/LED s/w is pure trash, that's for sure.
