      Hello, I recently setup a PI4 with the Retropie 4.7.1 image. I followed this post instructions to get an Xbox one controller connected via bluetooth. It connected fine and I can navigate the Retropie menu no problem. However, I'm having an issue when launching any game. The controller stays connected, at least the controller light shows connected. However, it won't control the game and I can't get to the Retroarch menu because the special key isn't working. I shut down the controller and reconnect and it'll control the game again after connecting. Is there a setting or configuration I'm missing to keep the controller connected?

        Forgot the post link. I tried most things listed here even though I’m using an Xbox one Bluetooth controller not a series controller.
