    My xbox controller is plugged in but wont connect to pc

    Hi

    What Xbox controller is it?

    If it's an old Xbox 360 Wireless controller, note that these controllers are always wireless. You can't make them wired with a Play and Charge. The P&C only provides power. You need an Xbox 360 gaming wireless receiver. Note: it must be the 360 gaming receiver, the Xbox One dongles are not compatible.

    If your controller is an Xbox One or Series X|S controller, try a different cable. Not all USB A to USB C cables are capable of sending data and power, many are just charging cables.

    My controller wont sync and connect but it will plugged in with a micro usb cord.

    Xbox Elite 2 - Windows 10 - Won't connect after using USB cable

    My elite series two controller's middle white button wont shut off and It wont connect to my PC or xbox, I've tried to connect both wireless and plugging in my USB to both Xbox and PC. My controller does not show up on my xbox accessories even though the
    white light is still on. I was mid game and none of my buttons worked i could only move forward and backwards and I could not press the xbox button to go to my home screen and ever since than my controller has not worked I've tried reseting my xbox, unplugging
    it, searching solutions on the internet and nothing has worked. Any idea what is going on?

    Paired xbox one wireless controller to Xbox console, want to pair that to my windows 10

    Hey ! Does the controller power on when you plug it in via USB? Try out the steps on the "How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller
    to a Windows PC    " page and see if you're able to get connected. Post back and let us know!
    When I plug the USB into my controller then into the PC, the controller vibrates and I'm able to turn it on. But my PC doesn't tell me that the controller is plugged in. And Xbox Accessories says that I need to plug in a controller, but it is plugged
    in. So I don't know what is going on. Have you guys ever had this type of problem posted before? If yes please let me know how it was solved. Thank you.

    how can i connect the xbox 360 controller to windows 10

    To connect a Xbox 360 wireless controller to your PC you need the Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter for Windows. https://bit.ly/3e2eUTF

    To connect a Xbox 360 wired controller to your PC, just plug in the USB plug into the USB socket on your PC.
