    My xbox One controller keeps connecting to the wrong wireless dongle.


    I have 2 computers, each on a different desks, but the desks are right next to each other. I have 2 controllers for each of the PCs. Both PCs are using the official wireless dongles for the xbox controllers for Windows PC. I have used the Windows Bluetooth and settings to add each of the controllers to their respective PCs.

    here is the problem. On my PC, when the other PC is turned on, my controllers on my PC decide to connect to the other PC instead. The the only work around I have found for this is to disconnect the wireless dongle on the other PC, and then my controllers connect to my PC just fine.

    This has only happened ever since I upgraded to Windows 11 on each PC. This was never a problem with Windows 10.

    Yes, my controllers firmware are fully updated.

    :)

    How Do I Connect A Wireless Xbox One Controller To Windows 10?

    Hi,

    That wireless gaming receiver only works with 360 controllers, not Xbox One controllers. The Xbox one controller uses a different wireless protocol.

    If you have Bluetooth for your PC you can pair the controller and use wireless this way. If you don't, you can buy any BT 4.0 USB dongle and connect using that. The dongles cost no more that $8.

    Or you can buy the official Xbox One wireless receiver for Xbox One controllers.
    Ahh, that explains it, thank you very much. Unfortunately I don't have Bluetooth inbuilt in my PC, but I can definitely buy a dongle. Does it need to be specifically a BT 4.0 dongle?

    Xbox One Wireless Bluetooth Controller Unresponsive in Windows 10 Games

    I recently bought an Xbox One wireless controller specifically for PC use and I ran into a similar problem. I thought the controller would connect, but it doesn't unless I have this USB dongle attached to my computer. It's a little wireless receiver or
    something and that is the only way I can get my controller to connect and respond appropriately. I did have to go into the Accessories app and update the controller, but even still I didn't realize that some controllers need this dongle and others don't, even
    though both are marketed as wireless.

    Elite Series 2 controller not connecting to Xbox Accessories store app on Windows 10 PC!

    Yes,

    Under Human Interface Devices, as Xbox One Wireless Controller. This is when connected with the Microsoft wireless USB dongle.

    I’ve also seen the controller under game controllers when initially connected via Bluetooth. But I abandoned using it via Bluetooth with my windows 10 pc. Only wireless adapter now.
