How to disable Xbox One Controller without unplugging

[paulholmes531]

Hi,

I want to know if there's a way to disable my controller without physically unplugging it. Whenever I play certain games it automatically sets the controller to default and my keyboard does not work. My PC is in an inconvenient place under my desk so I just am hoping there is another way i can disable it.

I used to be able to remove it from the hidden icons screen on the windows task bar but it no longer shows up there. In device manager Im not sure which device it is since they all have the same name.'

Update: I resolved it. It's now under Xbox Peripherals in Device Manager.
