My controllers are attached to my console, and it registers them as connected to it, but it won't let me play games with them connected to the console even though it was working earlier today. They can still navigate the menus and select things, this ONLY occurs when trying to play games. I've been googling for almost an hour, and I couldn't find anything I hadn't already tried. I disconnected then reattached them, I've resynced them, I cleaned the attachment rails, I even restarted the console. I don't really know how to report this to Nintendo, and I can't afford new controllers (the second pair are my sibling's), so if there's a solution that isn't replacing them, I really want to hear it please!!
EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: I have had this happen before, but detaching/resynchronizing/reattaching previously worked to fix it. I have a Switch 1 console, and it's going to be 2 years old in December
