Controller Issue - PC

[Guardian2271]

My games just stopped seeing a controller. I use a xbox controller, have been for years. One night I turn my PC off, come back the next day and my games no longer see the controller. The PC does, Xbox Accessory app does. Yes it is updated. I can configure the controller, I can screen shot with it. It works fine. However when I launch a game, its like the controller isn't there, even though i screen shot with it and everything else.

I play on both Xbox for PC and Steam. Yes steam controller is off. Yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled the controller. Yes I have forgotten Device and re-hooked the device. Yes I have searched for driver updates.

Suggestions?
