Xbox controller not working in Home

My xbox controller (Afterglow for xbox 360) stopped working in Home. Only the big xbox button works. However, once I'm inside a game (I can start a game with the desktop portion of Home) the controller works normally.

Any ideas?

Swapped USB ports... Working again...
Every time I travel with my computer to demo the rift and come back home I have so many weird bugs with USB devices.
(For example: Steelseries engine not detecting my mouse, Logitech C920 camera displaying red image, Rift headphones stops working when selecting Rift microphone in OBS Studio, etc, etc, etc)

Same issue fro me, xbox button works in home but no other buttons work in home (have to use spacebar to launch stuff)

It was working perfectly fine yesterday (prior to me updating win10 big 4/Aug update)

This is due to the Windows 10 update, see the sticky thread for details.

3 years later Im having this problem.
I do NOT OWN hand controllers for Rift, I bought one before they were included. I use XBox controller for all my VR needs, fine for me, Im not much of a VR game player. But now I a) cant use the shop, and b) cant move around in Home.
Is Oculus crippled for early adopters now? Or forcing us oldies to buy controllers? Or (fingers crossed) is there a fix. Needless to say, its years since the famous Windows 10 update, so, kinda expecting a new solution?

Mark the best bet is to raise a ticket and see what's going on. Are you in public beta ? If yes opt out and retry.
