Question PC freezes after closing games and I suspect it's caused by my 8BitDo Wireless Controller ?

Dear guys,
since recently my PC freezes after closing games. At first this only happened with Steam games, now games from Epic etc. do suffer from the same issue.
After quitting a game, my whole PC freezes, during gameplay however everything is perfectly fine.
After trying to find the solution for 2 weeks now, I am sure the cause of the problem is associated with my 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless Controller.

If I use it plugged in , no problems, but as soon as I use the wireless 2.4 Ghz dongle, I get freezes all over the place.

Since during gameplay everything is fine, I assume this is either some sort of USB or driver issue.
There are however no device specific drivers for this controller, Windows registers the 8BitDo Controller as a generic Xinput/X360 Wireless controller.
Any ideas?
Windows and all other drivers are up to date.
Thanks in advance

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard?

If I use this plugged, no problems, as soon as I use the wireless 2.4 Ghz dongle, freezes all over the place.
What wireless adapter are you using to pair the controller to your PC?
