After pairing controller via bluetooth with my Mac it doesn't pair anymore with my Xbox

Hi there, this link may help you with your issue, also make sure it is not trying to connect to the Mac at the same time you are reconnecting to the xbox.

the controller will always remain paired to the console without issue.

Hi,

There is a very good reason for this. On the console, the controller doesn't use Bluetooth, it uses its own proprietary wireless connection. The original Xbox One controllers didn't have Bluetooth on release and could only be connected via a micro USB cable,
the newer controllers have the BT feature, but still work with the original Xbox One (think Xbox One Fat 2013).

It can't re-pair automatically because it has two types of wireless sync technologies built in. The only way I believe you can make the controller sync automatically would be via the Xbox One Gaming receiver for Windows 10. The receiver doesn't use Bluetooth.

I hope that makes sense.

That's interesting information, but it's still an issue.

When I plug my phone into my PC, it doesn't forget the bluetooth pairing. Plugged in or not I can use the phone companion app just fine, and I don't have to re-pair it when I unplug it.

When I pair a soundbar to my PC, it works just as well as when I unplug it and use it through bluetooth, and again no re-pairing needed.

When I plug in my Sennheiser wireless headphones to charge it, it's still paired to my PC through bluetooth when I unplug it.

For some unknown reason when you plug in an Xbox One controller, it or Windows 10 (or both) deletes or resets the bluetooth profile associated with it, which requires Windows 10 to pair with it again. It's the only device I know of that loses bluetooth pairing
because you plugged it in. Having two different radio technologies is not an excuse. It would make sense if I was connecting the controller to the PC through bluetooth and then plugging it into an Xbox, but that isn't the case. I don't even have an Xbox anymore.

The controller/Windows 10 has no real reason for clearing/resetting the bluetooth profile when plugging the controller in.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately I tried those steps originally and they didn't help. The firmware is up to date and I don't need it paired via USB, I need it paired via Bluetooth.

I mentioned that after removing the device from the Bluetooth menu that it no longer appears in the pairing dialogue because my computer seems to be ignoring it. Both the Bluetooth adapter and Xbox One S controller pair perfectly on any of my other computers.
The problem lies somewhere in Windows settings. Please read my original post for more information.

My Xbox Wireless Controller won't connect to my Bluetooth at all but it connects by USB to my computer, it also flashes when I click the pairing button and my Bluetooth is turned on, whenever I go to the pair devices and try to pair the Xbox controller
it doesn't show up. Is there a way I can reset the controller without the console?

Its suppose to flash when pairing also what are you trying to pair it to

Hi all,

in my case solved as following:

1) Install on PC app Xbox Accessories

2) Connect controller to PC via microUSB

3) Update firmware in controller

4) During update remove if exist already Bluetooth paired Xbox controller

5) Pair via Bluetooth

6) Paired and working correctly same as always worked before

It is very strange as it was working all the time until my son connect Xbox controller to another PC via cable then it was impossible to pair again to original PC via Bluetooth. Anyway working again with steps above...

Good luck and let me know pls if it helps....
