    May I ask if you're plugging it in to the usb C port? Please try to connect it to the composite port. (Samengesteld USB-apparaat)

    May I also ask what is the exact make and model of your controller?

    Hmm, please provide a screenshot of your device manager so that I can point you to the right direction.
