Are you sure its Windows 10? Have you tested other controllers?

 

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

Is it just those inputs that aren't working or does the whole controller stop working?

 

If it is the former, then your controller might be on its way out.

 

If it's the later, then check your device manager. If it is not recognized in there then search for "find and fix problems" on the computer (or go through control panel) and run that. Sometimes Windows 10 is a butt. It doesn't always play nice with my wireless receiver because it is not a "genuine microsoft" receiver.
