Can't navigate main menu

Main menu stucks to noninteractive state if there is a controller plugged in AND there is previous save data.

Rename current save game data location to something different, like _BAK suffixed.
Relaunch the game and verify you can navigate the menu with controller up and down. Alt+Tab out from the game.
In regedit, select parent "folder", do View -> Refresh, then delete/rename new autogenerated regedit entry out of the way.
Restore your save data to its original location by removing the _BAK suffix.
Alt+Tab back to the game and select Load game from main menu.
