How to connect Xbox one controller to PC even Though I am using a USB cable.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello John-AnthonyGomez, I don't know if your device shows any error messages, however try following the procedures below.

Using System File Checker in Windows

CHKDSK

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server...

1 - Type cmd (Command Prompt) in the search bar of the Start menu and then click Run as administrator.

2 - Enter chkdsk /f/x/r/v

The system will ask you if you want to run CHKDSK after restarting the system, press S on your keyboard and then type "Exit" and restart the computer, it will scan in DOS mode.

Bump

Mine hasn't worked for months and i get the same error message. (USB Device Not Recognized)

I'm connecting directly to USB using a usb cable.

Ive tried six different USB cables so its not a bad cable.

It used to work but now I have a useless xbox one controller since I don't even own an xbox one!

Note: This is the windows version of the xbox controller that comes with a usb cable. (same controller as console though)

Hey there Benscookies,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with a light up usb not lighting up with the Xbox One wireless controller.

To help clarify, Are you using a 3rd party Micro USB cable to connect your Xbox One Wireless controller?

I recommend to take a look at the following troubleshooting articles:

• Connect a USB cable to use your Xbox One Wireless Controller without batteries
• How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hi Keith, There are two ways to connect an Xbox controller to a PC: with a USB cable or via Bluetooth.

Connect with a USB cable

Plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on your PC.

Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB port on your Xbox controller.

The controller should automatically connect to your PC.

Connect via Bluetooth

Make sure your Xbox controller and PC have Bluetooth.
Activate Bluetooth on your PC.

Press and hold the pairing button on the Xbox controller for 3 seconds.

The controller should appear in the list of Bluetooth devices on your PC.

Select the Xbox controller from the list and click "Connect."

Let me know if the information is still useful.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

It solved it, i don't have anything to charge, so it would be weird if it did.

Does it charge AA batteries?
