Microsoft updates Xbox controller functionality for Windows 11 users
Microsoft has introduced new Xbox controller functionality for Windows 11, allowing users to access the Task View switcher with a long press of the Xbox button, streamlining navigation between apps and games on gaming PCs.
The update, currently being tested with Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, changes how the Xbox button operates on controllers connected to Windows 11 systems. Users can now long press the Xbox button to open Task View, Microsoft’s built-in app and window switcher. The traditional controller shutdown function remains accessible by pressing and holding the Xbox button for an extended period.
