Xbox one controller and Windows 10 = Stutter

Hello Rulle,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

From the description provided, I understand that you experience performance issues with the games after few minutes of gameplay.

Follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1

Place the computer in a Clean Boot state and check if there are any third party applications to be causing the issue.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

Disclaimer: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.

Additionally, temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall software installed in your computer to check if it is trying to communicate with the game program to interfere.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 2

This behavior can be resolved if you try to reconfigure the drivers and install the latest ones..

I suggest you to check the following links which suggests on how help the PC to make optimal use of Windows 10 capabilities as well as fixing any missing links in performance of the operating system. 

• latest update of Windows 10 
• install and update the latest drivers in Windows 10.

Hi.

I have exactly the same problem, and others with me.

This needs to be looked into.

The problem is similiar with both USB and Wireless dongle.

I updated the controller via the Xbox peripherals program in Windows 10, but it didn't help at all.

I had this problem with a wired controller, and found a workaround was to use a pair of different (Microsoft) drivers, as detailed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgamingtechsupport/comments/3rs0mv/xbox_one_controller_causes_fps_stuttering_and_lag/d0ngchf

However, now I've got an Oculus Rift, I'm using the wireless controller. And I can't do the same changes. I'm now stuck having to faff about with the controller about 30 minutes into a game or activity because every button or analogue stick movement causes the whole OS to stutter - and in VR that's -really- unpleasant if you happen to be looking around at the time.

I don't know what the issue is here, for reference I'm using an Asus MAXIMUS VIII Hero motherboard, so I don't know if there's some USB-driver related weirdness going on with Asus's software. It doesn't happen with x360 controllers, but I can't really use those any more.

Hello

I'm getting the same issue (specially with EA games).

I've got 2 models of controllers:

1 xbox one wireless with dongle infrared

1 xbox one wireless bluetooth white model

Both tried with windows 10 anniversary update and even with the xbox360 controllers drivers....still stuttering ingame (after 10-30 minutes using).

I'll try with that new driver to see if it can be correct.

Still I've tried my PS3 controller with the SCP driver and with that controller, it works perfectly (even after hours of game).

So big disappointment to have spended 50€/controller to see a PS3 is working better on windows 10...but will try this other option driver.

My config:

Motherboard ASUS Z170 Pro

CG Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB OC GDDR5

Windows on SSD Sandisk

Games on apart SATA disk 1To

16Go RAM Corsair

Screen Iiyama 2K connected to the displayport of the CG card

Ingames problem: stuttering after 10-30 minutes ingame (like freezing as I would play with a pentium 400MHz and a Creative Geforce card from the years 90):

Games:

Dragon Age Inquisition

Alice Madness Return

Recent: mass effect andromeda

Recent: Titanfall 2 (ther a little bit less stuttering)

Only solution I ever found was a complete Windows reinstallation. After I did that it worked fine since. 

Hello

I've already tried this option (windows 10 anniversary update had crashed so needed to reformat and reinstall properly).

Still the same issue.

And it's really a problem with the controllers drivers or software because a simple "linux based program" for PS3 controllers works perfectly (wireless and wired).

Did you do a built in settings/recovery Windows reset, or a complete reinstallation. A Windows reset didn't solve me, but a complete format did. 

Hello

complete reinstallation: partitionning, formatting, reinstallation with the anniversary update already on disk.

But finally found the problem and solved it.

It came from the ASUS AI Suite 3. I've read several posts mentionning the same problem with 1 common thing: Asus mainboard.

It seems it comes from the USB 3.1 and 3.0 boost and charge software.

I completely uninstalled the software, removed the controllers from the devices, disconnected them, restarted the computer and added 1 after 1 the 2 controllers.

Now all the games works perfectly even after hours of game (Wireless: Bluetooth and infrared and wired).

And even in Ultra settings, no stuttering ingame :-D
