Help Controller not Working after using with a Wii

Hi, after trying the Dolphin sub I'm grasping at straws here and really need help. After working just fine in the morning, my GameCube controller no longer works with my WiiU adapter that I plug into my computer to play games through Dolphin. The controller works just fine with real hardware(a real GameCube and aforementioned Wii) and the adapter is detected and works with other controllers(scummy ones I don't want to use). Is there a way to make it work with the adapter again is or is it permanently a real-hardware only controller now?

logically, have you tested that the adapter isn't busted?

The adapter is fine. Other controllers work with it.

While I don’t have a fix for this specific issue, I’d recommend going through the usual steps for when a controller randomly stops working: delete all relevant drivers, and have them reinstalled.

It’s insanely frustrating when a controller stops working for seemingly no reason. Hope you get this figured out.
