Firmware Downgrade problem on Windows 10, XBox Series X controller

Seph9 · May 18, 2022

I've been trying to revert my upgrade to firmware 5.13.3143.0 since my wireless connectivity seems to have problems, and analog stick response is weird.

I'm on PC, Windows 10, and don't have an XBox around to use it for the process.

I've tried using the XBox accessories app, but when I run the command: xboxaccessories:\\firmwareupdate?legacyDowngrade=true

The app simply tells me I'm already running the latest firmware version. It acts as if I were trying to upgrade the controller, when I wanna downgrade it. Any help would be appreciated.

:)

For this to work is necessary that the controller is plugged trough the USB cable to the PC, otherwise it won't be able to revert the update

Hello I would like to know if the new update of Xbox series x | s controllers has solved the problems concerning non detection on xbox accessories apps on Windows 10, because I do not have a console for downgrade of the frimware controller, thanks alot

Did all of that and still received the 'Something went wrong. Your controller is already up to date.' on the PC. There doesn't look to be any option to revert firmware on the Xbox series x controller. Did Microsoft remove the option to downgrade firmware recently?

In this case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to update your controller's firmware. You can do this on your Series X or your Windows 10 PC. To do it on the Series X, connect it using the USB cable and then go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories, and then select the controller you want to update. On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller. Then, select the Firmware version square, and then press Next to start the update process.

To do it on Windows 10, just download the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store. If you already have it installed, just run it. After opening the app, the procedure to update is the same one as on the Series X, press the "..." button and follow those steps.

Check if your controller works correctly after doing this.
