One thing of note, by reading some of the previous threads on this here, you can't just unplug the controllers you don't want, you have to go into your control panel and disable or delete them from the system too. Otherwise the game has a habit of picking up the other controller even if it isn't plugged in right now. So if you put another controller on your system to do ANYTHING and then unplugged it to play DAI, it could still cause issues for you in DAI.
two threads to look into for possible fixes.....
All I have plugged in is my keyboard and mouse and the controller. I even uninstalled all drivers of devices I have used before. Still no response in the game. This is the only controller I have ever plugged into my pc and I uninstalled the driver of my old keyboard, so I have no idea where to go from here. I used the damn controller for 5 hours of the game and didn't changed anything on my pc between it working and not working.
So I was looking at my dxdiag and I noticed that in the DirectInput Devices there was a device call "controller" at the bottom of the list and I thought maybe that could be my problem. The problem is I had no idea what it is. Well using the controller ID, Vender ID, and ProductID and with the help of google I figured out that those are the IDs for an Nvidia Shield (which I have never used). I then realized that my controller stopped working after I had installed an update for the Geforce Experience and maybe it installed the Nvidia Shield drivers on my pc. So uninstalled the Geforce Experience and noticed that after running dxdiag again that controller did not show up anymore and when I started the game up it worked!

"and I thought maybe that could be my problem.."
Did your controller work with other games? If so, than maybe it isnt YOUR problem at all. IYKWIM
Controller didn't work when when I had Geforce Experience and when I uninstalled it, it started working. I don't know how that couldn't be the conclusion to come to. And yes, the controller worked for a few games but for many of the games it didn't work at all or only the start button worked.
