Controller not working - FRUSTRATING

My controller on this game resets the bindings literally while in combat and ANY other random time it decides. I’m having to reset my bindings 3-4 times a day just trying to play this game normally. Hundreds of games and thousands hours in other arpgs, zero controller issue. Only LE seems to not be able to keep controller bindings and resets them even while playing.

Was having fun on the new season but this is back and is quickly driving me away again, sadly.

-0 issues in EVERY other instance using this same controller for POE1/2, D4, TQ for years

Any fix for this long time ongoing problem?

I read others have had similar issues with no suggestions.
