Emulators hang for 2 min before launching with x-input 8bitdo Pro 2

Hi all,

I've run into a strange issue with my 8bitdo Pro 2 controller...

If I set the controller into x-input mode, then any emulator I try to launch hangs for 1-2 minutes before launching. Even the general interface of the emulator won't start; but, the second I disconnect the controller, everything launches immediately. This happens for Dolphin, Retroarch, etc... Even with Steam games, the game will launch but hang for 1-2 minutes, then start.

If I set the Pro 2 into d-input mode, then everything launches immediately. But, I need to set it in x-input for dolphin so that I can enable rumble for the controller, and I don't like having to wait 2 minutes for a game to launch.

Any help offered is much appreciated!

Strange, i would say its unrelated to the controller, or maybe a faulty controller or bluetooth adapter? I have the same controller and use it on my PC all the time with actual PC games as well as all of my emulators, and i exclusively use it in xinput mode. Do you have another PC you can test the controller on to see if it also happens there?

Yes, I use the 8bitdo Pro 2 on another PC in x-input without any issues. There's something in windows on the pc-in-question that's doing this. That's my guess.
