It appears that the latest patch for Starfield has introduced some issues with the Xbox Elite 2 controller. Many players have reported that pressing the home button no longer brings up the desired menu/widget, but instead, it triggers the Steam menu. This can be incredibly frustrating, particularly for those who heavily rely on their controller for an immersive gaming experience. However, fear not, for we have some potential solutions that might just save the day!

One possible solution you can attempt is disabling the Steam controller interface. To do this, launch Steam and navigate to the "Steam" menu located at the top left corner of your screen. From there, select "Settings" and proceed to the "Controller" tab. Within this tab, you will find an option to disable the Steam controller interface. Give it a try and observe if it resolves the issue at hand.

Alternatively, you can consider mapping the Windows key + G combination to one of the paddle buttons on your Xbox Elite 2 controller. This can be achieved through the Xbox Accessories app. Simply open the app, select your controller, and navigate to the "Button Mapping" section. Here, you can assign the Windows key + G combination to a paddle button of your choosing. By doing so, you can bring up the desired widgets without having to disable the right analog stick.

If neither of these solutions proves successful, it may be worthwhile to reach out to Bethesda's support team for further assistance. They possess the expertise to guide you through additional troubleshooting steps or provide information on an upcoming patch designed to address this specific issue. Remember to provide them with as much detail as possible regarding your setup and the steps you have already undertaken to rectify the problem.

With any luck, one of these solutions will enable you to resume recording your epic Starfield gameplay in no time. May your gaming adventures be filled with excitement and triumph!
