[100% FIX] Xbox One Controller Connectivity Problems Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update)

Ever since the Anniversary Update for Windows 10 (august 2016) I've had connectivity problems with my Xbox One-controller. It wouldn't work in any of my UWP-games anymore (Forza: Apex, Quantum Break, Halo: Forge) and only worked partially in other
games on different platforms (GTA V, Rocket League, Deus Ex: Mankind etc.); some of the controls were broken, and couldn't be reassigned/remapped to the controller.

I've used both the Wireless Dongle and a micro-USB cable to connect my controller to my PC, but both connections suffered from the same problems. To make things worse, the Xbox One Accessory-application couldn't find my Xbox One-controller, so I couldn't
update the firmware.

Next to that I tried several drivers (older versions) of the Xbox One-controller and Wireless Dongle hardware, but none of that really made a difference.

After almost giving up, I decided to give it one last go, and that - my friends - lead to fixing my problems.

What do you need to do?

• STEP 0: Download the 'Xbox One Accessories-application' from the store;
  
• STEP 1: Make sure your Xbox One-controller is connected to your PC via micro-USB cable (and is 'working' - HOME button lit up);
  
  STEP 2: Go to 'Control Panel' in Windows 10;
• STEP 3: Open 'Device Manager';
• STEP 4: Search for 'Xbox Peripherals' (bottom of the list);
  
• STEP 5: Select 'Xbox Gaming Device';
• STEP 6: While selecting 'Xbox Gaming Device' press the right mouse button to open the context menu, and select 'Update Driver Software';
  
• STEP 7: Select 'Browse my computer for driver software';
  
• STEP 8: Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer';
  
• STEP 9: Select 'Xbox Gaming Device Version: 10.0.14393.0 [07-15-2016]', and press 'Next';
  
• STEP 10: The driver will now install, and you are prompted to restart the PC. Do so.
  
• STEP 11: After restarting the PC, you can now open the Xbox One Accessory Application to update your controller to the newest firmware. Do so.
  
• STEP 12: Test, and enjoy! Connecting the controller via the Wireless Dongle will work again as well (no special update needed).
  

I think the problem was caused by a driver conflict between the Xbox One-controller and the Wireless Dongle making it hard for Windows 10 to assign proper input/data etc.



I hope this solution works for you guys. I'm just glad I can use my controller again!

Can I use a Blue Tooth Adapter instead of a Xbox Adapter?

Are you talking about connecting controllers to the PC?

With a USB bluetooth adapter, you can connect one Xbox One S controller to the computer. Bluetooth connectivity requires your computer to be running Windows 10 (with the Anniversary update).

You can read more about bluetooth connectivity
