Controller Connection Issues going from PC to Console

hello ... look, see if you can do this .. If the remote connects normally but is constantly disconnected and you have to pair it again, it is likely that there is a power problem, either with the remote's battery or connection to the wireless adapter. Make sure that the battery is charged, and of course that you are not more than 10 meters from the wireless adapter or the console.

Hey jhenao,

Just to double check, have you run the install of the controller for Windows 8 using the steps listed in our

Connect Xbox 360 controller to PC article?

Are you able to try a different controller on your PC or try your controller on a console to see if it might just be an issue with the controller itself?

Please let us know and we'll go from there.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues connecting your controller to your PC.

For us to isolate your issue, kindly try to connect your controller to a different device such as your console. This is for us to check and confirm if the issue is coming from your PC or controller.

If you have a different controller, please also try to connect it to your PC and see if it will work and connect normally.

Please let me know the results.

Regards,

Alvaro

Hello Plachtich, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry you're going through this.
Perform a Hard Reset First Sometimes a simple hard reset of the system can fix temporary problems. Disconnect the controller from the console or PC, turn off the console completely, and disconnect it from the power source for a few minutes. Then, turn the console back on and reconnect the controller to see if the issue persists.

Also make sure your controller is updated with the latest firmware available. Microsoft may release firmware updates to fix known issues and improve performance. Connect your controller to the console or PC and check if any updates are available through the system settings or controller software.

If the problem persists Try another device If possible, try connecting the controller to another compatible device, such as another Xbox Series X/S console or a PC, and see if the problem persists. This will help you determine if the problem is specifically related to your controller or if there could be some configuration or compatibility issue in

Best regards.

If your controllers are wireless, then you are going to need the Xbox 360 wireless adapter for PC to be able to connect the controller to the PC. https://bit.ly/3zldL21

If it's wired, then just plugging the controllers into the PC via the USB socket should work fine.

The OP is trying to control his Xbox One whilst having the controller plugged into the PC rather than having issues connecting the controller to PC.

I don't see how controlling your XB1 with a PC connected controller would even work...not unless there is some sort of remote share function or other on the XB1 maybe? Much like PCs have remote desktops to control it from another location?
