    Using an xbox one controller with xbox one and Win 10


    Hello everybody,

    my question is simple but I can not find an answer: I have an Xbox One X and I need to use my controller both on the X and on my Win 10 PC.

    After having used the pad on the PC, when I use it again on the X I have to reconnect it again (i.e. doing the whole procedure with the 2 buttons on the X and the pad).

    I even tried to connect the pad on the PC through the USB cable but I have to reconnect it again to the X anyway.

    Is there a way to have it remain connected to the X after having used it on the PC ?

    Many thanks.

    :)

    Xbox app streaming not (any longer) supports two controllers ?

    I am connecting two Xbox one wireless controllers through an Xbox Wireless Adapter to a Windows 10 PC, and always playing my Xbox one console games on Win 10 by streaming, and those all went right and smooth, until the recent updates.

    Now, with the latest updates of both the Xbox one console firmware ( 10.0.15063.3054/rs2_release_xbox_1705.170512-1759 ) and the Xbox App ( 29.29.17002.00000 ), only one ( the first working one when streaming starts ) controller is usable in streaming. No
    matter in the home page or in game, only one controller is recognized by the console.

    The two controllers are the original first gen Xbox one controllers (without 3.5mm jacks), both individually properly recognized by Windows 10 ( Win 10 Pro 1703/15063.296 ) and works well, even inside the Xbox app itself, except streaming.

    Any suggestions?

    Using an xbox one controller with xbox one and Win 10

    Hi, sadly that's just the way things work, you can only sync your controller to one device at a time ( PC, Xbox etc )

    The only time that you can have it automatically connect to something else is if you are on PC and you are using wired and you previously had it connected via the USB xbox one adapter. It will then auto connect to that. Now that's not compatible with xbox
    one but if you use PC with wired a lot, if you disconnect it after you have connected it to that USB device, it will auto connect to it.

    Otherwise, no, you can only have it connected to one device at a time.

    XBOX Beta Controller Support

    Thanks for the fast reply but this did not help me with my problem. except from the xbox beta app i have no problems playing games with my wireless xbox 360 controller on my win 10 pc. i would consider buying an xbox one controller if that would solve
    the problem. does the xbox beta app (game pass for win 10) support the xbox 360 controller normally?

    Xbox 360 controller on Windows 10

    I think you will have to buy an xbox one controller, since the xbox 360 controller is not supported.
    Did you not read it?
