  1. My wireless controller won't connect after countless efforts


    Please read everything before responding. I've tried using the sync button on my xbox but it does nothing. When I connect it via USB, it starts to work, but when I unplug the USB, the controller's Xbox button goes back to flashing and eventually turns off. I've also power cycled my Xbox dozens of times. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I spent a ton of money on this controller and battery pack and I don't get to use it. It's not the controller because this happens with every controller I try.

    :)

    It's easy. The issue is the achievement not popping after countless plays with flawless effort.

    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?

    Problems with Xbox Wireless Controller trigger buttons on PC

    so in troubleshooting and deeper looking, it would appear that my PC does not inherently come with bluetooth, the only thing really connecting my controller has been the wireless adapter, although it still doesn't answer why a wired connection won't suffice. it jsut won't pick up the existence of my controller
