GC controller periodically stops responding

I've been playing through Metroid Prime 2. I'm using the official Wii U GameCube controller adapter. I played through the first Metroid Prime a few weeks back with no problems. Got through the first few hours of the second game too without much issue. However, suddenly today my controller will just stop responding after a few minutes of play time. I'll be playing and all of a sudden I can't use any of the buttons, but the game keeps on playing (it's happened a few times in the middle of a firefight and Samus nearly died as a result). I can unplug the controller and plug it back in and it will work again, but then a few minutes later the same problem happens. Obviously, this makes playing the game much more tedious than it should be, so I'm hoping there is some way I can prevent it from happening.

Have you tried restarting your computer (not the shutdown command, but the restart command)? If you have fast boot enabled it can cause issues sometimes that aren't fixed until restarted.

This appears to have worked. Thank you!
