Recently I purchased a cheap gamepad, namely the Esperanza EGG110K Vanquisher but every time my PC boots up, it becomes unresponsive and shows up in the Devices list in the settings as "Android Controller".
Granted this gamepad can connect to Androids, but it doesn't work in PC games when connected as such. I have to disconnect/reconnect the gamepad multiple times, and employ a couple or so emulators to get it to connect as an X-Input gamepad - it's really tedious after the second time so I wonder if there's a way to avoid all this unnatural tinkering every time I boot up/restart my PC. I would like to know if there's any way to force the controller into registering as an X-Input. Some driver I need to disable/install?

Pad came with a small disc, on it were two executables: BM-575S-0320.exe as well as X-Input819B.exe. I installed the first one but Windows 10 prevented the installation of the second one. Message said "An administrator has blocked you from running this app." Any idea what they are?

If you need further info, let me know. Thank everyone in advance.

P.S. If you're going to suggest I buy a better controller, don't bother, cause I did. The cheap ones are for my kid and he has some temper issues so I don't like going too expensive.

I encountered the same problem with another cheap controller of the same producer, Esperanza EG106. After some tinkering, I discovered a simple solution which possibly works also for EGG110K and other Esperanza's models: press and hold the "Analog" button several times, until the controller registers as a normal PC game controller. I.e. the "Analog" button does not just cycle between two states "analog" and "digital", but between 3 modes "USB Gamepad" (digital mode) / "Android Gamepad" (analog mode) / "Controller (SEGA Controller)" (analog mode).

I understand that the original post is 3 years old, and the problem is probably not relevant to its author anymore. On the other hand, this is the only post I found on this problem, so a solution could be useful to other people encountering the same problem.
