Why won’t the game detect the Xbox 360 controller anymore

pcsuper-street-fighter-iv

SSFIV:AE suddenly decided to stop detecting my Xbox 360 controller, while it's always been working out of the box.
What I tried, so far:

  • restart Steam
  • update Steam
  • verify the integrity of game cache (via the game's properties, "local files" tab)
  • uninstall the game (by removing local game files) and install it again
  • unplug/replug the controller

Any idea ?

Ok so rebooting Windows did the trick. That being, I have no idea how or why it suddenly stopped to work, nor why rebooting Windows fixed the issue.
