    Problema de Conectividad Control Elite Xbox (Connectivity Problem Control Elite Xbox)

    Yes in this moment i have it connected by USB cable if I can connect it and my PC detects it. But I want it connected without using the usb cable. It's a pretty expensive control that buys it with a lot of effort. And I do not know why a normal control detects it without problem and the Elite does not work.
    And regarding your other question, my elite control does not have any connection problem with my xbox one s

    Why does my xbox one controller not connect to my pc

    Hi Moss,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Xbox One controller. I understand that it's working on your console but not on PC.

    As part of our troubleshooting, please try to connect it through USB at the back of your PC, directly to the motherboard. If it's still not connecting, try a different USB cable that supports data transfer.

    Make sure that Xbox accessories App is install in your PC. You may use this link to download it.

    XBox Elite Series 2 unplugged from PC using USB won't auto connect to Bluetooth

    That doesnt make any sense. Why would you design a bluetooth protocol on your own OS that didnt auto connect?
    It should auto connect. My controller does.

    The only time my Xbox One controller won't auto connect is when I've connected it to my gaming PC via USB to charge the battery. After this I have to re-sync the controller. But I only have to do this for the duration of the battery charge. My controller
    auto syncs first time from Windows boot up.

    The issue is that the controller has two wireless protocols. It does not use Bluetooth with the wireless gaming receiver, or when connected to an Xbox console.

    If your controller won't auto connect then there must be something wrong with your Bluetooth hardware on your PC. Have you tried a Bluetooth dongle to test this out?

    Xbox controller on PC

    Hello,

    When you say Xbox controller, you mean an XBox one? it seems to me that the first version of the XBox One controller does require an adapter to be able to connect to your PC. The newest version of the XBox One controller does support Bluetooth communication
    and hence it can be paired to a PC.
    its an xbox one controller and i cant do bluetooth because my pc wont allow it
