TBH it's borderline unacceptable from Microsoft that there isn't an accessible toggle for this one particular thing on Windows. This fixed my issues entirely, and it looks like a pretty durable solution. Not sure whether the unplugging had anything to do with it, but worth mentioning just in case.

My keyboard did act up for a couple seconds at that point, so I fiddled around, unplugged my XBox controller, and then it started working again. This time however, I wasn't able to disable the device drivers (button greyed out), so I straight up uninstalled them (button just below).

It definitely helped that my XBox controller was plugged in to my keyboard, so the Location property's value would conveniently read SteelSeries Apex 7. Find the ones whose Location property, in the area underneath, would indicate that it's actually your XBox controller. In the list view named Devices, there's a bunch of HID-compliant mouse entries.Search mouse, click the big green menu entry (likely to be the first one).Open the OG control panel ( Windows + R, control, Enter).Note: I'm translating this from my native language, there might be discrepancies in the menus' names. If none of the other answers work for you, I found a definitive solution to this maddeningly dumb issue.
