When I start a game, a GeForce NOW dialog box appears recommending I use a gamepad. I already have one attached via bluetooth. How do I fix this?

If your gamepad buttons have not been used recently, the operating system may not be notifying GeForce NOW that a gamepad is connected. To resolve this, try pressing a button on your gamepad. This will refresh the bluetooth connection, and your gamepad should be recognized again by GeForce NOW.
