StadiaController isn't recognized anymore

[DezorianGuv]

So I used the pad for a year now, but it just stopped being recognized by Windows 11.
I even installed a fresh copy of Windows 11, but to no avail.

Software I installed:
-VC Redist x64
-WinDesktopRuntime 6.0.6 x64
-ViGEmBus_1.21.332_x64_arm64
-stadiacontroller.exe & ViGEmClient.dll
-StadiEm
-StadiaWireless

Normally I'd start "stadiacontroller.exe", a cmd window would pop up telling me the pad has been recognized.
Now I don't get any notes in the cmd, it just stays empty and the pad isn't recognized.

I also installed the following software, which can detect my PS4, but alas not the Stadia controller:
-DS4 Windows
-XOutput
-JoytoKey
-x360ce

Any idea why the stadiacontroller.exe isn't working anymore?

Edit:
In x360ce I can check if a pad is detected and it is indeed. It recognizes and visually displays of my inputs.
I also can add my Stadia controller to map buttons. This seems to work from all the mentioned software.

Unfortunately I don't have my Stadia controller anymore so I can't troubleshoot. Does x360ce recognize all inputs, including the analog values?

My understanding (which might be wrong and/or outdated) is that USB devices can be acquired exclusively by software. If some software is getting exclusive access to the controller, stadiacontroller won't be able to connect to it.

The Stadia controller, on top of the raw USB interface, also sends "standard" controller events that can be recognized without stadiacontroller, but those are limited (notably, some analog inputs aren't recognized as such).

Hopefully this helps troubleshoot the problem.
