User Policy update has completed successfully.
Go to the Start menu, find the Command Prompt app – right-click it and “Run As Administrator”Ĭomputer Policy update has completed successfully. Change the Access Rights drop down to “Administrators and Users”. Right-click on the entry, choose “Edit”. Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Connection Client -> RemoteFX USB Device Redirection -> Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computer. Go to the Start menu, and type “gpedit” – Run the “Edit Group Policy” app. The “remote” computer where I want the gamepad input relayed to, I’ll refer to as “remote work”. 
So, the “local” computer where the gamepad is connected I’ll refer to as the “local home”. The scenario that I use this setup myself, is to connect from my home computer, to the computer at my office. You do however need Administrative local privileges for each computer, at least to perform the required setup. If your work/remote computer is locked down by your I.T. You have reasonable “local” administrative privileges to both computers. For game development an Xbox 360 controller seems to work with Microsoft’s “Xbox One Manager”, and functions as an Xbox One controller. Xbox One controllers BSOD my remote PC, I do not know of any workaround for this. The Xbox 360 controller, with the USB wireless dongle does work. I don’t think bluetooth-connected controllers will work, but let me know otherwise. I’ve only tested this with controllers connected via USB cables.

The upgrade is a simple license key change, no long install required.

If it’s for work, ask your company to expense the Win10 Pro license purchase. There are no known current workarounds for this.

I’m told this requires at least Windows 10 Pro on each PC for the RemoteFX system to function and redirect the USB device. 
It might work with Windows 7, or Windows 8.
I’ve only tested this over two Windows 10 computers. Things didn’t work first time for me, so here I’m going over the steps in more detail to ensure that you don’t hit the same hurdles that I did. I’m just largely reproducing that information here in a more palatable form. See the “references” section at the bottom of this page for where I found the steps. To be clear, I don’t claim to have come up with this myself. Being able to use a controller over a Remote Desktop session would be great! I was surprised to find out that it’s possible, but Microsoft for some reason disallow it by default. We can control the PC version of the game with a mouse, but with the console builds over Remote Desktop, you’re stuck with keyboard controls, or other facsimiles of a controller. Up until now though, I did have one gripe… Controllers. When I’m working at home, I generally don’t find anything lacking about my dev environment (and having no office interruptions is great!). These work pretty great, and work over a Remote Desktop session. We make our game for “the consoles” too, so we’re able to run on those via Remote Desktop, and the platform holders also provide viewing apps to see what’s going on, on said consoles. A PC build of our game runs fine over Remote Desktop, if you size the window down it is pretty decently playable. My home PC isn’t as beefy as my work PC, so it’s nice to have the power of my work PC when compiling code, or building game data. The setup I have for that is much like any other game company: We have a secure VPN into our work network, and we’d use Remote Desktop to control our work PC. Be it evenings, weekends, or sometimes during regular work hours. Well, it’s been over six years since I last wrote on this blog! The theme could do with updating, it’s screaming “2010” at me.
