Thank you for understanding.

Hello Paul Someone,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

It sounds like your Xbox One controller is not working properly on your PC with Windows 11 and Steam. There are a few possible reasons for this problem and some steps you can take to fix it.



One reason could be that your controller is not paired correctly with your PC. To pair your controller, press and hold the pairing button on the controller until the Xbox button flashes rapidly. Then, on your PC, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices and select Add Bluetooth or other device. Choose Everything else and then select Xbox Wireless Controller. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the pairing process.

Another reason could be that your controller driver is outdated or corrupted. To update or reinstall your controller driver, go to Device Manager on your PC and find Xbox Wireless Controller under Bluetooth or Human Interface Devices. Right-click on it and select Update driver or Uninstall device. Then, restart your PC and reconnect your controller.



A third reason could be that your Steam settings are interfering with your controller input. To check your Steam settings, open Steam and go to Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings. Make sure that Xbox Configuration Support is enabled and that your controller is detected by Steam. You can also try different controller profiles or calibrate your controller from this menu.

Yes I connected the controller to my PC and it's working fine. And yeah, my Xbox One X is close to my PS3, PS4, TV, and PC. But even with my past Xbox One X system that was placed beside my other systems and didn't have this problem. So, what can we do?
Because yesterday I did the reset thing and the controller connected to my Xbox One X and now same problem. Any help? Thanks.

Mhh nobody got an idea? Can't believe i'm the only one with this Problem. Perhaps someone here has still working wireless Xbox 360 controllers on his/her Windows 10 PC or can even confirm that the wireless controllers don't work anymore...

Is there any way to check for right drivers on my machine?

Hello so I have a very specific problem.

My Xbox One controller won't connect to my PC via Bluetooth anymore, it used to work however.

The controller will connect to my laptop with windows 10 and it also works when connect to an Xbox One.

My friends controllers can connect to my PC no problem.

In my Bluetooth listed devices it says "xbox one controller: paired" it never connects though, and when I "remove device" it does remove but whenever I restart my PC it comes back listed as "paired". It doesn't connect whether I click remove device and
it's no longer listed or try after restarting and it's listed as paired.

When going to add new device it never gets picked up, but as I said it can pick up other Xbox controllers and they can connect and work no problem.

My Xbox One controller also works when connected via a wired connection.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, nothing has changed.

There is something strange going on between the connection of my controller and my PC via Bluetooth and I don't know how to fix it. Again the controller works on my laptop and xbox and other controllers work on my PC, it is specific to my controller connecting
to my PC.

I'm not 100% sure what happened but it happened on a day I was playing Xbox One and games on my PC and I think I might have clicked "remove device" while trying to connect it back to the Bluetooth because it was taking a while to pick it up and I wanted to
make sure it was going to get picked up by the PC since it was paired with the Xbox at the time. I don't remember the specifics of what happened but I think it was something along those lines and ever since then it hasn't worked.

You must check your controller generation to see whether it has blutooth enables or not.
