  1. My controller is only flashing


    I wanted to play on my pc using an xbox controller so i tried connecting it with a usb c «i dont have bluetooth on my pc» The moment i plug it in it vibrates for a sec and then just flashes. I tried connecting it with my xbox but it wont connect. I have another controller that did connect but the controller is broken so i wont use it.

    :)

    Hi, EdonisMargataj my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    I understand your frustration with your Xbox controller flashing instead of connecting to your PC or Xbox via USB-C. Don't worry, we can try some troubleshooting steps to get things working!

    Here's what I suggest:

    Try Different USB Ports: Connect the controller to different USB ports on your PC, preferably on the back of the motherboard. Some ports might have insufficient power or compatibility issues.

    Update Drivers: Ensure your USB drivers and Windows are updated to the latest versions. Outdated drivers can cause connection problems.

    Disable Antivirus/Firewall Temporarily: Some antivirus or firewall software can interfere with controller connections. Try temporarily disabling them to see if the controller connects.

    Reset the Controller: Hold down the Xbox button and the Sync button (located on the top of the controller) for 10 seconds. This will reset the controller's connection settings.

    Use Windows Troubleshooter: Run the Windows Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. It can often identify and fix connection issues with peripherals like controllers.

    Try Alternate Connection Method: If your PC has Bluetooth, try connecting the controller using that method instead of USB-C.

    For your reference, I've included some links where you can find more details about the solutions I suggested
