Description

(This was previously posted, but was falsely assumed to be fixed and is now closed: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13047?tab=notes)

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When trying to open the latest version of Dolphin (5.0-17995) through Steam while a Switch Pro Controller is connected, Dolphin will not open (no window ever appears), and Steam will show the "Stop" button, thinking it is currently running. This only happens while the controller is connected, and Dolphin will be able to open again once the controller disconnects. Occasionally Dolphin would open, but this was very rare and inconsistent. Dolphin can still be opened directly from the Dolphin.exe while the controller is connected. Replacing the Dolphin-x64 folder with version 5.0-16793 fixed the problem and allowed Dolphin to open normally while the controller was connected.

Is the issue present in the latest development version?

Yes (5.0-18076).

What steps will reproduce the problem?

On Windows 10 x64, add Dolphin as a non-Steam game and try to run it while a Switch Pro Controller is connected. Other controllers may have similar effects, but I only have a Switch Pro Controller, so it's the only one I can test.
