  1. How to connect old Xbox One controller with Windows Adapter


    How do I get my controller connected? I have a Windows wireless adapter and a Gen 1 Xbox One controller, but I can’t get them connected. The controller says it’s updated and it works wired, but I can’t get it to connect with the wireless adapter even after following instructions. Is there something I just couldn’t find?

    :)

    Does the newer controller (with Bluetooth support) still be able to use the wireless receiver?

    Yes, the wireless adapter works and is probably the preferred way to use the controller. Xbox One controllers connected to windows 10 PC's via Bluetooth cause a noticeable performance drop in games. Connect with a wire or the wireless adapter and the performance
    hit is not present. Funny thing is no other Bluetooth controller causes a performance drop in games. It is something specific to the Xbox One controller.

    Xbox Adapter for Windows not connecting

    Hi PC,

    Thanks for updating us with your reply! The smallish button that is on the front of the controller is the "bind" or "sync" button that is used to wirelessly connect the controller to your console or, in this case, your PC via the wireless adapter. You may
    find the information contained in the following support articles helpful in troubleshooting any syncing issues you've been experiencing:

    How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC

    Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

    Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

    In regard to your other issue about one adapter working and the other giving you trouble, you may benefit from

    performing a clean boot to your Windows 10 PC
    and then
    running the app troubleshooter on your Xbox Accessories app
    . This has a tendency to cure a few ills with things. You'll also want to ensure that your controller is updated and this may be done in the Xbox Accessories app while the controller is connected
    to the PC on a wired connection (cannot be done via Bluetooth or other wireless connection). How to update your Xbox

    I hope that this helps you out!

    xbox controller not discoverable on bluetooth on windows 10

    Hi there
    Tjalfe1,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with connecting the Xbox One controller to your PC.

    I recommend taking a look at the following article:
    How
    to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC
    .

    • Bluetooth requires a PC running the Windows 10. See
      Windows Update: FAQto
      learn how to get the latest Windows update.
    • For best performance, update your controller. See
      How
      to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10
      .
    • Bluetooth is supported on PCs, tablets, and laptops. It is not supported on mobile devices.
    • Bluetooth does not support any attachments, such as headsets,
      chatpads, or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.
    • We recommend connecting only one controller at a time using Bluetooth.

    If the issue persists, try reaching out to
    Asus Customer support
    for assistance with the Bluetooth Dongle. Have you attempted to connect another Bluetooth device? I would recommend to try using the

    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10
    .

    Hope this helps.
