problem with wireless xbox one controller on PC

Younès Taallah · Nov 17, 2018

I recently bought a wireless controller and an adapter for Windows 10, I connect everything on my PC, everything works fine but after five minutes the controller disconnects. I tried to uninstall the
driver and reinstall it but the problem persists. I hope you can help me

Xbox ONE controller with Xbox 360

If I own an Xbox 360E and an Xbox ONE wireless controller with a wireless pc adapter can I connect the Xbox ONE controller to the Xbox 360 through the pc adapter?

Connecting a xbox360 controller to a pc thru xbox360

No that is not possible to connect a controller to your PC through your console. You will need the Xbox 360 wireless USB receiver for windows or buy a pure wired USB xbox 360 controller (microsoft and 3rd party ones available and all will work).

The play and charge USB cable for xbox 360 controllers does not make a wireless controller wired as it only transfers power and not data.

You could buy an xbox one wireless controller that is newer and has bluetooth and connect it to your PC directly as seen on this page: :

You can also use an xbox one wireless controller of any type (with or without bluetooth) with a Micro USB cable on a PC as well. THAT wire does make the xbox one wireless controller act as a wired controller while connected via Micro USB.

Thanks for your answer but I already tried all that but it still doesn't work

Hey Younes,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I see you already tried uninstalling drivers; we suggest you try checking for updates for the controller itself on our

Controller Update article. Hope this helps!

Get the app from Microsoft Windows 10 by searching for "Xbox Accessories."

Launch the Xbox Accessories app.

Connect your Xbox One Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

Note You'll be prompted to update to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition if you haven't yet done so.

When the controller is connected, you'll see the message Update Required if an update is mandatory. Install the update.

Note You can also go to Device Info to check for an update.

Is this an Xbox One controller, or an Xbox 360 controller? If it's an Xbox One controller, are you connecting wirelessly to the PC via Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter?

Xbox one controller with an xbox wireless adapter

Hi,

Unfortunately unlike the Xbox One controllers, the wireless Xbox 360 controllers remain wireless regardless of whether you connect them to a PC with a Play and Charge. You can't make an Xbox 360 wireless controller a wired controller.

If you want to use your 360 wireless controller on a PC you'll need to buy an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows.

Hey there AngerManagement!

Sorry to hear that you're dealing with this issue trying to work your controller to game on your PC.

If it's happening on different PC's then it would more than likely mean that either the adapter or the controller are the problem. If and when you can, I would see if you have the same problem if you try another controller and try the steps bother here on
Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, as well as the
Xbox One Wireless Controller Solution to make sure that both devices are functioning correctly.

When you get a chance, give those things a shot and let us know if that helped out with the problem at hand.

Much thanks for reading and good luck!

Hi,

The Series X|S and Xbox One controllers are not compatible with the old Wireless Gaming Receiver used to connect Xbox 360 wireless controllers to a PC device. However, they do support connection to a PC via Bluetooth.
