I have an xbox core controller that I use for both pc and xbox, its up to date, nothing...

Likes Calm person. I did try that once but got an error code. I guess Xbox doesn't like my Intel Core i7 GTX 1070 SSD machine then. And Microsoft is constantly issuing updates cause there always appears to be something wrong with the patches. Remember PC's
are made in a vast array of different configurations. And everything on my pc and Xbox is up to date. I'll just play it on my Xbox One X thanks.

What error message did you get? I use a Xbox One controller on two PCs, one running 8.1 and the other Windows 10, and neither of them have had any trouble connecting to the controller.

Of course I don't have your exact setup but both of mine are quite different from each other. An i5 4460 (4 cores, 4 threads) and a GTX 970. The other being a Xeon 5670 (6 cores, 12 threads, and overclocked to 4.5ghz) with a GTX 760. The latter machine only
having two SSDs for drive space.

Have you used the controller on a PC or Xbox console before, and did you make sure the controller Firmware is up to date?

Thanks Alpha Soulneed, I've attempted to update the controllers wirelessly on the Xbox and on a USB via our PC. They are both already up to date.

Is there a way to factory reset a controller?

Both PC's and Xbox use Microsoft technology. I use to play the Sims 3 on PC but now can't because it keeps crashing even though my PC's only 2 years old. Have had no probs with the Sims 3 on console. With PC versions you have to worry about PC compatibility
like making sure you have a specific graphics card or CPU speed. Thats why I quit PC gaming and do it on Xbox now. Intel Core i7 processors have is it 4 cores. Xbox One will have an AMD EIGHT CORE Jaguar APU -

An i7-4770k 4 core would smoke the 8 core in actual gaming performance. More cores is not always better for gaming. Many Macs have 8 core CPUs but would struggle with Battlefield 3 on PC even on Low settings.
