    why isn't my new xbox controler always on when plugged in via USB? WINDOWS 10


    my xbox one controller was always on when I had a USB connected, but unfortunately it went faulty and so I had to buy a new one. prices for xbox one controllers were extortionate so I had to buy an xbox series controller and this darn thing won't behave. I turn my pc on, the controller should be on, but I have to press the guide button. this is very very frustrating, I already had one of these and I refunded it because it kept turning off. I have this plugged in, I do not want it to turn itself off so I have to fiddle about turning it on again. I have plenty of wireless devices that manage to react when i press a button even if they have gone into standby, why do I always have to switch this darn controller on when it's not even running on batteries? how do I disable this auto sleep?

    :)

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    So far it is not possible to disable, the controller will turn itself off if it is not being used even if it is out of batteries and connected with a USB cable.

    Hi, thank you for your reply.

    I'm sure you can understand why I find this to be unacceptable.

    Can you give me an indication of whether this is something you are working on adding?

    If not, then this is not good enough and I will have no other option but to obtain a refund and refrain from buying microsoft accessories in future.

    Xbox Elite Wireless Controllerの動作が時々止まる[The behavior of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller sometimes stops]

    You should only need to plug in the xbox controller via usb cable to have it work on windows 10. There are no additional drives required.

    how can I update driver for xbox 360 controller for windows 10

    Hi,

    There is no driver to download for the 360 controller on Windows 10, because the driver is already installed as part of the OS.

    There are two likely reasons why your controller isn't being detected. It's either because your controller isn't a true wired controller or you've plugged it into a USB 1 port.

    If your controller is wireless please note that you can not turn it into a wired controller with a Play & Charge. It will always be wireless and therefore will not be detected. To use a wireless controller on Windows you will need a gaming wireless receiver.
    Otherwise, you will need a 360 wired controller.
