    Trouble Connecting Xbox Wireless Controller to Windows 11


    Hi everyone,

    I'm having issues connecting my Xbox Wireless Controller to my Windows 11 PC. I've tried pairing it via Bluetooth as well as using a USB-C cable, but nothing seems to work. The controller flashes for a while and then turns off, or it simply doesn’t appear in the Bluetooth devices list. I've also made sure that both Windows 11 and the controller firmware are updated to the latest versions. If anyone has experienced a similar issue and found a solution, I would greatly appreciate your advice!

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Trouble Connecting Xbox Wireless Controller to Windows 11

    Hi Lorri,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your controller when connecting it to Windows 11. Is this your first time connecting this controller to your PC? The latest Xbox controller firmware update may affect Bluetooth connectivity and performance with some older non-Xbox devices. If your controller is having Bluetooth-related issues after a firmware update, you can choose to revert your controller to an earlier firmware version to correct the problem.

    On your Xbox console, press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then go to Profile & system > Xbox Support > Get help > Help topics > Hardware & networking > Controllers > My Xbox controller has connection issues after the last update. Select Check your controller’s firmware to open the controller firmware reversion screen in the Xbox Accessories app, and then follow the instructions in the app.

    Note: You can also use this link to revert your controller’s firmware on a Windows device. You will need to have the Xbox Accessories app for Windows installed for the Check your controller’s firmware link to work. If you don’t have the app, get it here: https://aka.ms/xboxaccessoriesupdateapp

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    I am trying to update my Xbox controller but whenever I try to update it the controller turns off

    Hello OliverHollerung.
    My name is Ezequiel. I'm an Independent Consultant and I'm happy to help you today.
    I suggest you test by trying to update your controller using Windows 10 or Windows 11.

    Update your controller on Windows 10/11 by using the Xbox Accessories app:
    If you don't already have the app installed, get it in the Store:
    Microsoft Store
    Open the Xbox Accessories app.
    Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows.
    When the controller is connected, you'll see the message Update Required if an update is mandatory. Install the update.

    Will Xbox series x controller work with Windows 11

    Of course. Why not.

    The Xbox app Game Pass App is going to come pre-installed on Windows 11, and Microsft want users to connect their controllers trouble free to the new OS.

    The biggest issue would be to check if your PC is compatible for Windows 11, not your controllers.

    In any event, Win 11 won't suddenly make Win 10 obsolete.
