Windows Controller Reconnection Failure After Disconnection

[kur0]

**Issue Description:**
1. **Wireless Adapter Disconnection Scenario:**
- When an Xbox controller disconnects from the official wireless adapter (e.g., due to low battery or automatic timeout), attempting to reconnect the controller results in **no response** in Stardew Valley.
- The game fails to detect the reconnected controller (no "Controller Connected" notification in the bottom-left corner).

2. **Wired Connection Attempt:**
- Switching to a **wired USB connection** only partially resolves the issue:
- **RT/LT triggers** respond normally.
- **All other buttons/inputs remain unresponsive**.
- The problem persists until the game is **force-closed and restarted**.

**System/Game Details:**
- **Platform:** Steam (latest version verified).
- **Game Version:** Stardew Valley (up-to-date).
- **Hardware:** Xbox controller + official wireless adapter

**Reproducibility:**
- Occurs consistently after wireless disconnection events.
- Full functionality is restored only after restarting the game.

We've been looking into similar issues with Stardew's controller support for a while now (it's a slow process on PC, unfortunately). I hope we will be able to fix this issue as well.

After reconnecting the controller (via wireless adapter), does the Start button happen to do anything (i.e. a "No Cabins Available" prompt or otherwise)?
