Quest 3 Remote Desktop controller issue

My controllers work perfectly fine everywhere except when I use the Remote Desktop app. Ever since I started using that app, my controller becomes extremely glitchy while it’s open and won’t stay active for more than half a second.
I have to constantly spam the trigger button just to keep it active and click on things. The moment I close the Remote Desktop app, the controller works normally again. You can clearly see exactly what I mean in the video.

One other person had this problem a few days ago. I don't know what causes it. It's working fine with my Quest 3 and PC. Just a theory but do you have other game controllers connected to your PC, maybe there is a conflict.

I can't believe this actually was the cause. I did in fact have a controller connected to my PC and the moment I removed it, everything started to work fine. Thank you.
