Connecting Xbox Controller via BT after Xbox USBDevice update causes GSOD

I'm having this cursed issue as well. I thought it was because the warranty on my Motherboard just lapsed. I really hope they resolve this issue soon.

This issue crashed my system completely! Forced me to reset my OS and manually install everything from scratch. SMH Issues occurred when trying to connect with Xbox Controller as well as my 8Bitdo via Bluetooth. Did someone say the latest patch resolves the issue? I'm tempted to download the latest updates, but don't want to go through this nightmare again.

Follow MacGeekAz's instructions for removing the driver, it's fairly easy to do. You should be fine downloading the latest Windows driver updates...or bail out of the Insider builds so you're no longer dealing with somewhat untested Windows builds that are problematic for people that use their systems for gaming anyway. I'm running the latest cumulative Windows Insider build...I let the updates run a day or two after removing the driver (after noticing MS released another insider build update this past Fri), based on MacGeekAz's instructions. No problems since.

Always pay attention to those "cumulative" Windows insider build updates. If you experience freak crashes, GSoD's, etc...it's almost always related to something buggy in the Insider builds, and definitely not worth wasting your time doing a complete Windows reinstall. Next time you get a GSoD, or any sort of odd random crash, go check your Windows update history...that's almost always the root cause of your problems.

@MacGeekAz's solution worked for me as well but I didn't boot into safe boot. I just uninstalled the driver using an administrator Terminal and then restarted the PC (to reload the drivers) and that worked.

Simple steps for those that reach this through google:
0. Pause windows updates and driver updates (look this up on google)
1. Open terminal as administrator
2. List drivers with this command: pnputil /enum-drivers > drivers.txt
3. Type pwd and navigate to that path to find the text file. You can just copy paste the response into the file explorer.
4. Open the driver.txt file and search for 1.14.20.740 (this is problematic driver version). Take note of the driver file name. For me it was oem72.inf, for other user it was oem74.inf, for you it may be different.
5. Uninstall the driver by running the command: pnputil /delete-driver driverName.inf /uninstall /force, replacing the "driverName.inf" with what you got from the previous step
6. Restart computer and reconnect your Xbox controller. It should now work.

Worked like a charm!
