  1. I think i deleted something and now my controller won't connect to my PC


    So, 5 days ago i deleted some thing that i thought were useless but ever since, i haven't been able to connect a single controller to my pc through the Xbox wireless adapter for windows. i have done everything in my power to fix it but nothing has worked. The adapter works, my controllers work and i've updated the firmware on my xbox, my usb ports work, i've checked all of them individually, i have updated my drivers, re installed some stuff, restarted my pc about a hundred times and The adapter works perfectly on my laptop, Which is why i'm 98% sure it has something to do with the thing i deleted. As far i know i deleted ''XINPUT-compatible HID device'' or something like that. it's been about 6 days and none of my controllers will connect to my pc. please help.

    :)

    Xbox One controller won't connect to Windows 10 PC

    Hello so I have a very specific problem.

    My Xbox One controller won't connect to my PC via Bluetooth anymore, it used to work however.

    The controller will connect to my laptop with windows 10 and it also works when connect to an Xbox One.

    My friends controllers can connect to my PC no problem.

    In my Bluetooth listed devices it says "xbox one controller: paired" it never connects though, and when I "remove device" it does remove but whenever I restart my PC it comes back listed as "paired". It doesn't connect whether I click remove device and
    it's no longer listed or try after restarting and it's listed as paired.

    When going to add new device it never gets picked up, but as I said it can pick up other Xbox controllers and they can connect and work no problem.

    My Xbox One controller also works when connected via a wired connection.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, nothing has changed.

    There is something strange going on between the connection of my controller and my PC via Bluetooth and I don't know how to fix it. Again the controller works on my laptop and xbox and other controllers work on my PC, it is specific to my controller connecting
    to my PC.

    I'm not 100% sure what happened but it happened on a day I was playing Xbox One and games on my PC and I think I might have clicked "remove device" while trying to connect it back to the Bluetooth because it was taking a while to pick it up and I wanted to
    make sure it was going to get picked up by the PC since it was paired with the Xbox at the time. I don't remember the specifics of what happened but I think it was something along those lines and ever since then it hasn't worked.
    You must check your controller generation to see whether it has blutooth enables or not.

    Minecraft Windows 10

    Yes I just restarted my pc and it still won't work. I think I deleted a Minecraft file called "Mojang.dll" or something like that. Ever since I deleted it I can't play Minecraft Windows 10 edition and my ClipSVC won't start and its stuck like that.

    Do you know where the mojang.dll belongs if you do please help me.

    Xbox One controller won't connect to Windows 10 PC

    It does have bluetooth, as I said I can connect it to my laptop, and it used to work with my PC something happened that I think partially severed the connection while locking it in.

    Also other xbox one controllers work as well.

    Connectivity Controller Issues

    Oh my mistake! But I guess the same principle can apply to the PC as well. Have you tried connecting the controller to another PC besides your own?

    Edit: Because I'm thinking if something that is on your PC is preventing the controller from connecting, maybe take a look at what programs are running that could be interfering with the controller or Microsoft software.

    XBox Elite Series 2 unplugged from PC using USB won't auto connect to Bluetooth

    That doesnt make any sense. Why would you design a bluetooth protocol on your own OS that didnt auto connect?
    It should auto connect. My controller does.

    The only time my Xbox One controller won't auto connect is when I've connected it to my gaming PC via USB to charge the battery. After this I have to re-sync the controller. But I only have to do this for the duration of the battery charge. My controller
    auto syncs first time from Windows boot up.

    The issue is that the controller has two wireless protocols. It does not use Bluetooth with the wireless gaming receiver, or when connected to an Xbox console.

    If your controller won't auto connect then there must be something wrong with your Bluetooth hardware on your PC. Have you tried a Bluetooth dongle to test this out?
