    How do i get my xbox series x controller to work


    Im using a windows 10 desktop pc, i had a xbox 360 controller which i plugged into it which broke so i upgraded to a new controller. It does not work on my pc, when i plug it in it vibrates once then nothing. It works just fine on another windows 10 pc, i have tried different cables but each cable works on the other pc, and i downloaded the xbox accessories app to try and it didnt connect either.

    I tried updating software

    I tried different usb ports

    i tried restarting my pc

    Any help would be appreciated

    :)

    Controller sent for replacement, no reply..

    Geri, I'm not sure if you still are receiving this thread but I did get my replacement Xbox controller today and I hooked it up to my series X and everything worked fine except that there is no sound coming through my wired headphones. These are Arctis Prime Steel Series wired headphones that worked fine with all my other controllers and just recently with my Xbox series X controller but when I connected to the Elite control they sent me it does there's no sound coming through. I cleaned the port a harder rebooted my Xbox Series X I updated the firmware and still no results.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Call of Duty: Vanguard controller disconnect problem

    Same problem here. Im on series X. It seems to be a controller issue with that particular game. I used a xbox one x controller and it worked perfect. Its been doing this to me since day one of Vanguard. But it doesnt do it on other games. Hope you get it fixed! I know how aggravating it is.

    How do i get my xbox series x controller to work

    Here are some steps you can try to get your Xbox Series X controller to work on your Windows 10 desktop PC:

    Check for updates: Make sure your Windows 10 operating system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any updates that may be available.

    Install Xbox Accessories app: Make sure you have the Xbox Accessories app installed on your PC. You can download it from the Microsoft Store.

    Connect your controller via USB: Connect your Xbox Series X controller to your PC using a USB cable. Make sure the cable is properly connected to both the controller and the PC.

    Try a different USB port: Try connecting the controller to a different USB port on your PC. Sometimes, certain USB ports may not work properly.

    Check Device Manager: Open Device Manager on your PC and check if the controller is detected. To do this, right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager. Look for any unknown devices or controllers with a yellow triangle icon. If you see any, right-click on them and select Update Driver.

    Reset the controller: Try resetting your controller by pressing the small button on the back of the controller near the USB port. Hold it for a few seconds and then release it.

    Try a different cable: If you have a different USB cable, try using it to connect your controller to your PC.

    If none of these steps work, it's possible that your PC may not be compatible with the Xbox Series X controller. You may need to consider purchasing a different controller or upgrading your PC.
