I don’t have an 8bitdo controller but I experienced many games being quite picky on Windows, too.
Oh, you accidentally had the sound set to your speakers instead of the head set? Too bad, well ignore that you switched the sound output. Oh, you connected/woke the controller after starting the game? Too bad. Won’t work. Etc.
I experienced way less of this shit since I switched to Linux…
