  1. My Xbox Series X controller frequently disconnects from my Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows


    Hi there,

    I am hoping that somebody can help me out with this because I am going absolutely insane trying to solve this issue and get back to playing my games wirelessly. As the title reads, my Xbox Series X controller frequently disconnects. It will connect to my wireless adapter but disconnects often between 5-15 minutes after the connection is established. My Xbox wireless adapter is plugged in to the front of my PC, so it is not an issue of range or a poor pathway for the connection. I have experienced this with three separate controllers, the latest of which I purchased yesterday. Here are a list of the fixes I have tried so far:
    - Power cycling

    - Updating the controller's firmware

    - Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for my Xbox wireless adapter

    - Re-pairing the controller to the Xbox wireless adapter

    - Turning off broadcast and instant replay in Nvidia GeForce overlay

    - Turning off power management for the Xbox wireless adapter

    - Turning off selective suspend USB in my computer's power settings

    - Turning off selective suspend USB in the Xbox wireless adapter's properties

    - Searching for optional driver updates for Xbox wireless adapter (none found)

    If anyone has any idea on how I can fix this, I would greatly appreciated. Please note that it is an Xbox Series X|S controller and a firmware revert was not available when I tried.

    :)

    Xbox series x controller disconnecting (latest firmware)

    Hi - this is certainly happening to me as well. After paying a premium for a series x controller to use on my pc - it FREQUENTLY disconnects. In fact so much, it is unuseable as a wireless controller. Does not happen with my xbox one controller. When are we getting a resolution to this issue? Or is it something that can be resolved with a replacement (warranty) controller?

    Xbox controller disconnecting constantly?

    If you’re having trouble with your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, it could be because the adapter drivers didn’t auto-install, the adapter stopped responding, your controller won’t connect or frequently
    disconnects from your adapter, or because there’s interference between the controller and adapter.
    Try fixing it with these troubleshooting solutions. Make sure your Windows 10 device is up to date, and try unplugging the device, restarting, and plugging it back in. Make sure your controller is in
    range of the adapter. You can also move any objects between the controller and the adapter out of the way, and keep the adapter away from metal so there’s less interference. For more solutions, check out “Learn more” below.
