    Purchased Xbox Elite 2 for PC gaming. When it connects via blue tooth Windows sees it a generic controller. Microsoft "support" walks you through manually updating the driver to elite 2 however the last step is to restart PC to set the driver. When you restart the PC it wipes the Xbox driver and resets the elite as a generic controller.

    Can anyone fix PC not recognizing elite 2 controller via bluetooth?

    Hi, James! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble connecting your controller via Bluetooth on PC. No worries, I'm happy to assist you with this today.

    Here are the things we need to check first :

    1. Windows Update

    Please make sure that your device is up to date : On your PC select Start > Settings > Windows Update

    2. Xbox Accessories Update

    Xbox Accessories app on your computer should also be updated.

    Go to Microsoft Store > select the three horizontal dots in the top left corner > select “Downloads and updates”.

    You can download the Xbox Accessories Update through Microsoft store if you do not have it downloaded yet.

    Open Xbox Accessories App, connect your controller to your PC. I would prefer to use a cable once connected, you should see your controller shows up as a device within the app. Select the double burger icon or the three horizonal dots under your controller image, and then select “Update now” if available. Keep your controller connected as the update completes.

    Please see the link for your reference :

    If it is still recognized as a generic controller, try manually installing the driver. Follow the steps below:

    Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager from the list.

    Once Device Manager opens, locate and right-click Xbox One Controller.

    From the menu choose Update Driver Software.

    Click on Browse my computer for driver software.

    Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

    Locate Microsoft Xbox One Controller on the list and click Next to install it. If you can’t locate Microsoft Xbox One Controller driver, you might have to uncheck Show compatible hardware option.

    Elite Controller 2 Bluetooth issues

    My elite 2 when connected to PC via bluetooth loses connection and I am also experiencing sudden frame rate drops which I do not see when playing it with wired or keyboard or mouse. I did not had any issues with Elite 1 which connected via a usb

    Same here. It works fine for about an hour or two then it just disconnects. My windows and controller is updated so I don't know what else to do.
