    Share button not working any more on PC


    Good morning everyone,

    I have an issue with 2 xbox wireless controllers on PC: the share button does no longer work when connected via Bluetooth, but only when plugged in USB.

    What can I do troubleshoot this? The Accessories app does not detect the button, I tried just to remove and link them again but nothing changes, the button only works via USB.

    Thanks,

    Daniele

    :)

    Thanks Daniele. It seems this issue may have been caused by a certain Windows Update. Try the following: Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates . In the list of updates, find KB5034204, and see if it lets you uninstall it. If it does, click uninstall, reboot your PC, then try using your controller's Share button again.
    Thank you for your advice Kyle, I uninstalled the KB5034204 update and now the Share button works fine as before, both via USB and Bluetooth.

    Best regards and thanks again! 😊

    Hi Daniele. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Xbox controllers has limited functionality when connected with Bluetooth. For full functionality, you'll need to connect it to your PC using a USB cable or Xbox Wireless adaptor.

    Please reach back if you have further questions.

    Hello Kyle and thanks, it always worked fine until one week ago, via Bluetooth also, therefore something bugged the app or the driver. The share button stopped to work on both controllers with some update maybe
