    Can't connect Xbox controller to Windows 11 PC via Bluetooth


    Hello everyone,

    I'm having trouble connecting my Xbox controller to my Windows 11 PC using Bluetooth. I've followed the usual steps—turning on the controller, ensuring it's in pairing mode, and using the Bluetooth settings on my PC to add a new device—but nothing seems to be working. The controller is not appearing in the list of available devices.

    I've also tried updating my Bluetooth drivers and restarting my PC, but still no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions on what might be going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Is your windows 10 or 11?

    Try deleting your controller in windows, and then connecting via bluetooth again.

    My xbox elite series 2 core controller is not getting into Bluetooth pairing mode. What should I do?

    Please ensure you are following Xbox Support's steps to pair the controller: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/connect-xbox-wireless-controller-to-pc

    To pair an Xbox Wireless Controller to your PC via Bluetooth:

    Turn on your Xbox Wireless Controller by pressing the Xbox button.

    Press and hold the Pair button on your controller for three seconds (the Xbox button will start flashing rapidly).

    On your PC, press the Start button, then choose Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices (on Windows 11: Settings > Bluetooth & devices).

    Turn on Bluetooth. Select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth (on Windows 11: Add device). Your PC will begin searching for your controller.

    Select Xbox Elite Wireless Controller > Done.

    If it's still not going into pairing mode, try holding the Pair button for longer than 3 seconds.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    xbox one controller for pc, adapter or bluetooth?

    Hey GiddyCosine4817!

    As Geth mentioned, Bluetooth connection to a Windows 10 device will work just fine for Xbox One controllers, depending on the model of the controller. Certain older Xbox One controllers do not support Bluetooth connections.

    If you need help determining if your controller can connect via Bluetooth, check out the info under "Option 3" in our guide for

    Problem with my controler Xbox one Bluetooth

    Hello Cerfvoyage4344,

    If you haven't already done so, may I suggest following up with "Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your
    Xbox One Wireless Controller    " . If you continue to have a problem connecting via Bluetooth, I would be curios if the controller works with your PC using the USB port, "How
    to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC    " . Let us know if this helps.
