Hello SARAHkerrigan,

Thank you for your post. I understand you are looking to connect a controller to your Windows 10 PC. The first version of the Xbox One wireless controller is not Bluetooth compatible which may explain the difficulty you are experiencing connecting it to
your Windows 10 PC. Fore more information, please visit this page:
How to connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to a Windows 10 PC.

I hope this helps.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Please see how to connect/troubleshoot the controller not connecting to a pc here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

I'll advise you get an Xbox Bluetooth Adapter for the PC. Same thing I did, it should connect without a hitch then.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.

I checked the available updates for both my Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. There was an update available for the Windows PC and I downloaded and installed it. There was not an update available for the Xbox One.

I also connected all of my controllers to the Xbox One and searched for updates, and none were available.

So everything should be on the latest updates.

I did try and plug the controllers into the Windows 10 PC over USB to see if that helped, but I got the same results. In the Xbox app in Windows all of the connected controllers worked for navigation of the menus and making selections. It is when I connect
to the Xbox One and open streaming that I lose the ability to do anything except with the one controller. The issue isn't isolated to a single controller either, whichever one I connect first works while streaming, and all the others won't. If I try again
using a different controller, then that will be the one that works and the others don't.

I have not made any changes to my system or connections outside of applying the updates as they come along.

I am not able to try a different Windows 10 PC as this Surface Pro 2 is my only one.

Everything else about streaming the games works great, I am hoping you can help me find a solution to the controller connection issue as it is the only thing standing in my way. Thanks again for your support.
