Why does my Xbox One Controller stop responding while playing games on Windows 10?
So I started playing Final Fantasy XIII - 2 via Steam the other day using my Xbox One controller and I noticed that whenever the game showed a prompt (i.e save game, play tutorial, anything in the blue dialog box) my controller would become entirely unresponsive.
The controller is connected to my PC via the Play and Charge kit, it is not setup to be used wirelessly.
The problem was temporarily solved by unplugging the controller for a moment* and plugging it back in.
*Too quick and it would remain unresponsive.
Is there any way to permanently resolve this issue?

Although not a real solution to the underlying issue, somebody has developed a hook for both Final Fantasy XIII & XIII-2. I have confirmed that the fix works for XIII (I don't own XIII-2) using a XBOX One Wireless controller via USB and via the official Wireless Adapter for PC.

Simply ensure the fixer is running when you're playing, that's it.
