    Bluetooth & Wireless controllers - Help needed


    Hey there. This is a request for support to any knowledgeable users and/or staff, that can hopefully help me solve this situation.

    It's related to Windows 10 and a Wireless controller, that I'm attempting to connect to my computer.

    So here's a brief description of everything I've attempted and the specifics of the case.

    • The controller in question is a white Xbox One wireless controller, that supports bluetooth in a PC. Meaning it's the one with the 'on' button located in the 'face' of the controller. This means it's compatible.
    • Windows 10 with all the updates installed, so it can hardly be lack of compatible / up-to-date software.
    • Controller works splendidly when connected with USB cable. It's entirely up-to-date as well, thanks to Xbox Accessories.
    • I've attempted many times to connect it using the official guide and other guides written by people and published online. The main manner to connect it appears to be going to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices; ensuring
      Bluetooth is connected (it is) and the add device -> Xbox controllers (and some others). A window pops up saying it's searching for Bluetooth devices... but nothing ever shows no matter what I do. I also always make sure to activate the controller and the
      Wireless signal button in the back until it begins flashing.
    I've ran out of ideas on what to do. I'd really enjoy experiencing PC gaming with a wireless controller.

    Does anybody have any faint hint of a clue what could possibly be wrong, and how to fix my issue?

    Very much appreciated.

    :)

    Customizable Xbox One controllers announced

    Just so you know, Major Nelson said these controllers are the new controllers that include Bluetooth. So they will sync to your PC via Bluetooth without the need to purchase the wireless dongle.

    Wireless technology?

    Thanks for that, however I need to know the wireless connections for the 360 and One as well.

    Does the "S" use wifi and bluetooth of just bluetooth for controller connections?

    Bluetooth & Wireless controllers - Help needed

    Does this controller work with your XBox? The reason I asked is trying to determine whether the issue is a setting on the PC or the controller itself when it comes to wireless connectivity.

    Xbox controllers for windows 10

    The Bluetooth controllers don't come with an adaptor, is has Bluetooth built in. The device it connects to need to have Bluetooth to work, if your PC doesn't then you need to get a Bluetooth adapter for the PC.

    The wireless part of the controller works on a unique frequency only for the xbox controllers, so it won't work with WiFi, so for your PC to use the Xbox Wireless part, you would need the Xbox Wireless Adapter.

    Xbox Series X/S controller not pairing to Windows PC

    do you have the wireless xbox adapter for pc plugged in (needed for wireless connection), or are you using bluetooth on the pc (needed for bluetooth connection to the controller).

    the following three ways to connect the controller:

    1. USB C cable

    2. Bluetooth

    3. Wirelessly using the xbox wireless adapter for windows 10 (about 24.99 from retailers)
