Ok so i figured out I fixed the problem with out realizing. apparently if you run steam with out big picture mode it goes back to issues with non steam games. but if you run it in big picture mode then exit, your controller will work as intended. Very odd but great to know for any one using switch pro controllers or the power a branded ones

So problem solved. Really amazing controllers. Some how they function correctly with the steam configuration checked on. On my normal switch pro I would always have to un check the steam switch pro controller support. For some reason with these wireless controllers from walmart, they actually work weather thats ticked or not.

So update on this situation. I found a strange workaround for these controllers switching from non steam to steam games. I actually deleted all my steam games from big box and created a app section instead. Steam is one of the apps and I have it launch into Big Picture mode. This allows you to use your controller to navigate to the settings and turn on and off the switch pro controller support. So this is how I will do it unless someone has some kind of idea as to write a script or command to check or uncheck the switch pro controller support on start up and exit. Hope this helps anyone going through the same issues

So 2 days ago I found a really good deal at Walmart where the power a enhanced wireless switch controllers were 25 rather then 50. I happen to buy three of them and found that they work exactly like the switch pro controller. Now here is the problem. In order to use them in big box, You have to switch off the steam switch controller toggle in order to play non steam games. That's fine, If I am in big box and go from playing the 64 to steam, I have to close out of big box and toggle the steam switch controller support back on. Is there a way to have it so when you open a steam game through big box, it can toggle it on then when closing the game it will toggle it back off? It would make life so much easier and wouldn't disturb the flow of big box so much. I am sure there is a script you can write but that is way above my pay grade. This would be incredibly helpful, thank you.

I get a error using bigbox when I use this theme. Wile Artbook is on the platform theme its fine. As soon as I click on a system the error apears. It says that windows is blocking a plug in and I have to right click on it, go to properties and check or uncheck the box to unblock it. How ever, that box does not exist for me. When that error comes up, I hit enter, it goes away then i'm good until I go to options then the error pops up again. I should note that i'm using the theme only for the consoles, When I click onto a console, I then am using Memories of yesterday theme. That theme has no issues what so ever. What do I do to make the error stop? It is more of a annoyance then anything. In the error it says its blocking a plugin in memories of yesterday, but when I uninstalled artbook everything went back to normal so I know artbook is the culprit.

Thank you for your guys help. I figured out how to disable the service and I can confirm that everything on 11.6 is back to normal. Thank you all for your hard work

I have Nahimic service but im a little confused as to what to do. i have a 11.6 build and i disabled the service and its still glitching. Did I do something wrong? I have restarted my computer and its back again so I wonder if I didnt really disable it. I wont touch it till someone helps so I don't mess anything up.

Ok thank you for your time. Il keep my eyes on the thread

I just tried the core update link that jason had. Still the same isues. Im going to just stick with 11.2

So this time for real it is updated again. I donloaded launchbox 11.5 and ya the bugs are all back. From the zooming in videos to the flickering and to the text vanishing or looking very wrong.

I may have made a mistake when I said I updated. Still a newb from the woods with tech. So I downloaded the update for windows 10 but I never actually installed it. I got out of work late so tomorrow I will download a current build of launchbox and see what happens. Im going to be so mad at my self if that fixes everything but thank you all for your support. Vhero that sucks the old build didn't fix it. Hope your luck changes soon. Il let you guys know the results tomorrow to see what happens

Hi guys sucks to say but I have everything up to date. In my post of ever sence 11.4 I tried all of those things and nothing has changed. I have a intel i7 7700 and a gtx 1070. Thank you so much for that link to the old launchbox!!! I can happily report that everything is back to normal!!!

Also forgot to mention I was only able to make it look normal in that certain view having it on my c drive. So those of you also going through this, It wont fix everything but it makes it a little better. If it continues to do the exact same thing with that theme, you may have to uninstall and re install launchbox/bigbox

Deeply appreciated for the info. I found for now until fixed I'm not sure if your also having zoom in on videos with certain themes or the jitters with some like me, If you are, I recommend Using CriticalZoneV2 - Default and put the transition settings for the videos on quick fade (assuming you can see when the text will vanish on you). You will have to shuffle through views a few times but that's the only way I could get bigbox to not look like a horrible glitchy mess after 3 re installs. Its been a disaster. But for now I hope that helps and thank you again, has eased my mind some knowing others are also experiencing this (Not that I want others to have this much trouble but you get the idea)..

Thank you for speaking out. I thought I was the only one

Yup that is exactly what ive been talking about. Do you also get issues in launchbox where editing a game or veiwing options, the mouse makes icons vanish?

Update to the update. Did not realize that a new official release of launch box 11.5 would come out an hour after my first update lol. But sadly this fixed absolutely nothing for me. I still have all the exact same issues so fingers crossed for the next one I guess

So a update to the current issues I have been having. I have once again uninstalled and reinstalled launchbox/bigbox but this time I have it on my C drive. Still have the exact same issues before except most of the time the videos now dont zoom in and dont flicker on default critical zone in certain views. I also got videos playing flawlessly in launchbox b4 uninstalling by going under options and changing a setting in there. after the update to 11.4 it toggled that off for some reason. Icons still disappear in launchbox when i hover over them with the mouse, big box also has the same issues with text dissapearing in the options when hovering over it. But i dont seem to get errors really any more. Just themes looking off or flickering. I really wish I never downloaded that c plus requirement when updating because thats when all this big nightmare happens. Please fix this soon, this is really driving me nuts but atleast i can use the defult theme now

No problem. I usually find fixes with out posting but this one just has me completely stumped. Watch the videos I posted and see if you have similar issues. My drivers did need a update but no fixes were made. Thank you anyways tho

That pop up window now only shows up on specific themes in a certain veiw. Before I tried the beta release it did not matter what theme or view. It was a complete mess. Thanks for your input

What does this mean? Not the most tech savvy. I've restarted my computer multiple times. How can I fix the net.core issue? Thanks for your time

thank you all very much for the reply's. I am using the beta version and that made my theme usable and that's about it. I'm still having bugs and issues all over the place. Can I re download the c++ file that came from the update? I also did the suggested and updated my video drivers and windows 10. Still doing it. I recorded footage of it in action. my apologize for poor video and background noises

sorry for spam, one extra detail I forgot. Videos no longer play in launchbox even with the setting on. not sure why

So update on the situation. I tried the beta release of launchbox 11.5. This actually solved the biggest problem. My themes are actually working correctly. How ever the videos are still flashing and glitching. It also did not solve the issue with icons vanishing after highlighted. What ever that c plus thing was that was needed when downloading 11.4 really screwed up things for me. I hope this gets fixed soon. I am just happy I can scroll through bigbox
