FIFA 23 controller not working on PC - Potential fix and solution

sportskeeda.com:

FIFA 23 on PC is a big deal this year due to the number of improvements and new features that have been introduced. Unlike last year, PC players can now enjoy current-generation features like HyperMotion2, which adds to the overall immersiveness of the game.

Given the importance of dribbles and trickery in FIFA 23, it's advisable to play the game with a controller when possible. While playing with a keyboard has some advantages, controllers offer better benefits, especially with crossplay now being an active feature.

Sadly for players on PCs, several bugs have hampered their experience in FIFA 23. Many have reported a bug that causes the controller to stop working. It's unclear what the cause is, but it seems to be happening to those who have the title on Origin. Those who run the game via the Steam/Epic Games Store have also encountered this problem.

Fortunately, there's a solution that may help players eliminate the bug.
