Here's a summary and some clear steps based on your information:
Problem:
- On the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5702 (KB5062653), some users experience their PC "bugchecking" (crashing/BSOD) when using Xbox controllers via Bluetooth.
- This may also affect some third-party controllers recognized as Xbox controllers.
Solution (as per Microsoft):
- Open Device Manager
- Search for “Device Manager” from the Start menu/taskbar.
- Change View
- In Device Manager, click on ‘View’ and select ‘Devices by Driver’.
- Locate the Driver
- Find the driver named
oemXXX.inf (XboxGameControllerDriver.inf). The XXX number will vary depending on your system. - Uninstall the Driver
- Right-click on that driver, and select ‘Uninstall’.
This should resolve the Bluetooth controller crash, at least until a fixed update is released.
Notes:
- This issue is specific to the latest Windows 11 Insider Dev channel build; users on the regular (stable) update channel shouldn’t have this problem.
- If you’re using a third-party controller and experiencing similar problems, this fix might work if your controller uses the same driver.
Why Bother Using Insider Builds?
- Insider builds include bleeding-edge features like new Copilot+ integrations, taskbar scaling, improved zip extraction speed, UX tweaks, etc.
Summary: If your Xbox or similar Bluetooth controller is crashing your PC on the latest Insider build, try uninstalling the XboxGameControllerDriver.inf via Device Manager.
