Wii U Pro controller recognized by WiinUPro but nothing happens after

[SapphireGaming]

Trying to connect the controller using the WiinUPro App makes it automatically pop up in the Bluetooth & Devices settings. Then it says "Driver error" and it does not appear in the "Devices" Tab of the WiinUPro software.

one more image to show how it connects:

After this, the sync window closes and nothing happens, while the bluetooth & devices settings show "driver error"

HID Drivers have fucked up everything, should work now

Was this unrelated to WiinUPro itself or something external? Wondering if I might need to add an option to skip that driver step. I haven't done much testing on Windows 11 beyond its early days, and with frequent updates it's impossible for me to keep up.

It was basically this software's drivers not allowing the WiinUPro/WiinUSoft (it affected both) Software drivers to work properly. https://www.julianloehr.de/educational-work/hid-wiimote/

This software is used for the wii remote only, but I assume it created problems for anything else wii related to connect, removing these drivers (which did not overwrite the wiinupro/wiinusoft drivers) and the app itself fixed the problem however

Oh I see. Makes sense. the only difference between the Wiimotes and Pro is the product id. I have and thoughts about doing something more integrated like this driver which would get rid of the "Dark Souls Problem" but I have a lot to learn about device drivers.
