    Hello, recently I purchased an xbox elite series 2 controller for use with my pc, it was working well for a while, until suddenly it stopped. When I plug the controller in, it vibrates and the light turns on as if it's being connected, but it does not show up under windows or device manager or steam. I have tried multiple cables. I think I may be missing the drivers, but not sure how to re-install them. Doesn't show up under Xbox Accessories either, and I don't own an Xbox so I can't update it that way either. Thanks.

    :)

    Hi there!

    Sorry to hear about what happened. Let's see what we can do about that here.

    First, make sure to install the latest updates of your Windows and get all available updates from the Microsoft Store.
    Check for Windows updates - https://support.microsoft.com/windows/update-wi...
    Get updates from Microsoft Store - https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/g...

    If everything has been updated, please go to the Device manager by searching it from your Start menu search bar. Once you are in that window, reinsert your controller so you can identify its driver. Once you found it, right-click and uninstall it. Restart your computer and plug in your controller back then wait for the driver to be installed automatically.

    If you couldn't find the controller driver, please go to Other devices and find the Universal Serial Bus controller or USB driver and uninstall them manually. Restart your PC for them to be installed automatically.

    Didn't fix it, it won't show up as its own driver under device manager and I uninstalled all of the Universal Serial Bus controllers to no effect.

    Edit: I managed to get it working via Bluetooth (which for some reason only works when connected via cable) but it still won't work wired.

    Xbox One controller wire not lit when plugged into PC

    Hello!

    It should light up as long as it's plugged into both power and the controller. If it's charging the controller, most likely the light on the cable is defective. If it's not charging the controller then it may be something with the power source, cable, or
    controller.
    does it only glow when charging? i just use it for playing, wired. But other than the lamp being defective, it works

    Can't get my controller to work

    Hey OP, does the controller still light up while plugged into the console? If so, and if the other controller works fine with the same battery packs/cable, I'm afraid that controller will need to be replaced.
