How to reenable device (Xbox One Controller) in Device Manager under Windows 10
I've had some problems with my XOne gamepad (wired) under Win10 (during game, right stick and some keys stop working), so after searching for solution in the web, I've found out that disabling some related entry in the HID group in Device Manager might help. So in the DM I've found that my gamepad shows itself as XBox Controller in XBox Peripherals group and as two entries in HID group:
- XINPUT compatible HID device
- USB input device (my translation here, I'm not sure how it's described in english version)
Disabling XINPUT did nothing, so I've enabled it again, then I've disabled the other entry (USB input device). After that, both entries disappeared, system don't recognize it when I connect the gamepad to PC (no clinky noise :/ ) and ofcourse, it does not work in game at all.
Do you know any way to reenable this device? I've tried View->Show hidden devices, but even if those are there (I see both, or rather I see 1 XINPUT and about 20 USB Input devices), context menu of any of those entries does not have an "Enable device" option.

For some devices, uninstalling with the device disconnected, rebooting, and then plugging in the device lets Windows find and install the drivers correctly... though I've not tried it with that gamepad.
