    Controller issue


    I have two Xbox controllers, but neither of them work on my PC. A couple of weeks ago, they were working fine over Bluetooth, but suddenly they just stopped working. They now keep disconnecting and reconnecting nonstop.

    I’ve tried unplugging my Bluetooth dongle and using a different USB port, but that didn’t help. I also tried connecting the controllers with a USB cable, but they won’t connect at all—it’s like the PC doesn’t recognize them.

    I read that updating the controller firmware could help, so I installed the Xbox Accessories app. However, the app requires the controller to be connected via USB to update, which wasn’t working. Luckily, I have an Xbox Series S, so I updated both controllers through the console. Unfortunately, even after updating, they still won’t work on my PC.

    I also checked Device Manager for any Xbox peripherals, but there’s nothing showing up. I’ve been looking for a solution for a few days now and haven’t had any luck.

    :)

    It sounds like you're not hitting the sync button on the console itself.



    With your console powered on, hit the Guide button. Wait for the LEDs to start flashing. Once they're flashing, hit the sync button (near the Play & Charge cable port). The LEDs on the controller will start spinning. After you've hit that, hit the Sync button
    on the front of the consoles. On the original 360 it's its own button to the right of the MU ports. On the 360 S it's the IR window/button to the left of the front USB trap door. Once you hit the sync button on the console, the Ring of Light on the console
    should start spinning.



    There's a
    decent guide on the XBOX site

    Controller Issue ?

    Controllers do wear out. Every gamer handles it different and your movements will do that to the joystick. Certain games are harder on different buttons. Thats a battlefield controller :) mine looks just like it. Its a battle hardened controller that might
    need to be retired. It happens to the best of us.
