STEP appears to have disabled my gamepad. Advice?

First of all, thank you for STEP. It has been extremely helpful to me.

 

I initially installed vanilla skyrim and my xbox one controller worked immediately. I could unplug it in game and the mouse would start working and vice versa. This continued to work after installing many mods as well.

 

However, I decided to try modding "right" and following the STEP guide. I got up to the end of applying the "fixes" mod and jumped into the game to test progress. Now my gamepad doesn't work. Mouse and keyboard are fine. But, the game doesn't seem to recognize the gamepad. I've tried installing Microsoft drivers, different usb ports, restarting machine, looking for options to enable it. I ran joy.cpl and confirmed that the os is reading it fine.

 

Any ideas?

Try going into your settings in the main menu and see if the controller is enabled. I play with a controller, so I'm not sure how that could even happen.

That fixed it. Thank you!

 

The first time around it just worked when I plugged it in. Maybe because I plugged it in during the game?
