Under Human Interface Devices in the Device Manager, there is no listing of an 'XInput Compatible Device.' It's a long list, but I tested the ones that sounded right ('HID-compliant game controller,' 'Microsoft Hardware Bluetooth Device,' and 'Microsoft Input Configuration Device') and it said 'The best drivers for your device are already installed' about all of them.
Yet still, it's connected via Bluetooth right now and absolutely nothing on my computer seems to be able to use it. XInput 1.4: XInput 1.4 ships as part of Windows 10. You can also check with Microsoft since it. Compatible Bluetooth XINPUT input device. Choose the appropriate version of XInput based on the functionality of XInput you use and the versions of Windows you intend to support. I have an Xbox One Controller that connects to an Intel Wireless-AC 9560. My OS version is 20H2 and build is 19042.630, so I believe that should be enough. There are three current versions of the XInput DLL today. That page from Microsoft does describe my issues - no recognition by Steam or button input when connected via Bluetooth - but my computer says I'm fully up to date (no optional updates either) and I'd already used the Xbox Accessories app to update my controller. Thank you both for the advice! I'm sorry to say I stopped checking the thread by the time you replied, wrongly assuming I'd get an email if there was a comment.
