    Controller Not Recognized for Update


    So, hadn't played on my Xbone for a bit and wanted to play some Titanfall. Turned on the Xbox with no issue with Headset attached through the adapter and saw there was an update, no big deal right? False, after said update my controller stopped working
    with the headset adapter.

    So, I had thought there might be a controller update. Step by step, I did the instructions all the way to having the pop up for the update of the controller (which works even with the headset adapter in but only with the mini USB). When I try to update the
    controller (after the pop up comes up) it states that the controller is not connected). Which is utter crap as I am holding the A button down to try to update it.

    Is there some larger issue I am missing here?

    :)

    Just in case... the new update for April has a problem with voice shut off when the pop up for the ''off command'' not being recognized no matter what I've tried. I have to use controller at that point.

    Error updating xbox one controller EN-ES

    Hi xbf crystal

    my controller is not recognized by windows. I have everything updated, and the bug fixer does not give me any solution. If I go into configuration -> devices -> controller-> controller properties tells me that it is an xbox controller, but the controller
    does not recognize it properly because does not respond and the xbox accessories application does not recognize it either. In configuration -> devices appears as a ''controller'' but without being well installed as it is impossible to use.

    In conclusion, my pc knows that I connect to the usb an xbox one controller but does not have the driver or the proper update to use it and my xbox tries to update every time I connect to the console but is frozen at 0% or 100% of the update, never ends.

    Thank you for your help!
