my xbox controller usb wont recognize my controller

Hello real katus,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are trying to connect your controller however, it is unrecognizable. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.



For controller to work in a device, an update is necessary, in your case, we would like to confirm if you are trying to connect your controller on a specific device.

1. What device are you trying to use?
   
2. In my xbox controller usb wont recognize my controller, may we ask if you mean Xbox wireless adapter?
   
3. What error message or code are you experiencing?
   
4. What is the controller that you are using? Is this an Xbox Controller or a third-party controller?
   

Troubleshooting you can try for your controller issue:

• Restart device and see if your controller will connect.
  
• Try to connect controller on a new device or a mobile. See if the new device and your mobile can recognize the controller.
  
• For the controller driver, try Xbox accessories app. Should you be using Xbox Console, please try to sync your controller and go to settings to check on the controller added.
  

We look forward to your response.

Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

I know this is an old post, but even today there are issues with FS2020 recognizing and sometimes, like in my case, stop recognizing a USB controller all together.....

Hi xbf crystal

my controller is not recognized by windows. I have everything updated, and the bug fixer does not give me any solution. If I go into configuration -> devices -> controller-> controller properties tells me that it is an xbox controller, but the controller
does not recognize it properly because does not respond and the xbox accessories application does not recognize it either. In configuration -> devices appears as a ''controller'' but without being well installed as it is impossible to use.

In conclusion, my pc knows that I connect to the usb an xbox one controller but does not have the driver or the proper update to use it and my xbox tries to update every time I connect to the console but is frozen at 0% or 100% of the update, never ends.

Thank you for your help!

My computer running Windows 10 doesn’t recognize Xbox One controller. I plugged in an Xbox controller to the USB slot but I saw it vibrating, the lights flashing but it didn’t work. I did some troubleshooting such as running
the device troubleshooter, trying to use another USB slot. I also cannot see the controller in the device manager.

It is 1697 model.
