The text say in italian “To configure this device, you need to have the Xbox Identity Provider installed and be signed in to your Xbox account. Check that your PC is connected to the internet, and try installing the Xbox Identity Provider. Then sign in to the Xbox app. If that doesn’t work, please try again later.”
This means that for some reason my connection doesn’t work or the xbox servers are offline I cannot customize my controller in any shape of form with the official app from Microsoft.

If it’s true that the app needs to be connected to the internet for reconfiguring your controller, that’s really stupid. Hopefully they’re just saying that you need to be connected to the internet to download the app.
Though honestly, I wish Microsoft would just cut down the proprietary aspect of game controllers and make it all open source. I’d love for a Gullikit equivalent to the series controller with Hall effect thumbsticks. Then game developers would just have to put limits on what inputs are capable in competitive games to prevent custom modded controllers from breaking games.
Nope I don’t need to download any app, I have everything needed installed, this error code appeared only after I disconnected my Microsoft account and after I closed 2 login screen for the Microsoft account, prompted by the Accessories app.
Maybe, if I have time, I’m gonna reverse engineer the usb packets from the pc to the controller and make a new configurator for it.
It’s Microsoft. They actively fight against anything that even comes close to free software. The only way to fix this shit is to buy different products.
Now when I feel they’re making “premium” products what they actually mean is:
An expensive product with quality features that would be fine on their own merits but have an app tacked on that nobody needed or asked for.
