    Windows 10/11 Nintendo Switch Joycon Driver Error/Not Connecting


    Just to discuss a common issue when pairing Nintendo Switch controllers on Bluetooth. It may work the first time, however you may find that when you return to pair again, it does not work, and the sync lights just keep flashing. If you look at the Nintendo Switch specs, you will find that its wireless connection is Bluetooth 4.1. Therefore, the only way to solve this is to get a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle, and then the issue should be solved. I hope I could help. Leave any other ways to help in the comments - let's solve this problem! Also, I would recommend using a program like betterjoy when using joycons on pc.

    Combining Minecraft accounts?

    To be able to have one account for both Nintendo Switch and PC you will need to have the Windows 10 edition of the game on the PC. As Java and Bedrock (Xbox One, mobile, windows 10, nintendo switch) has different coding in the game.

    I switched back to Windows 11 and am still having this issue, so it's definitely the driver.

    Will a wifi pcie compatible for windows 10 work with windows 11?

    it will work, you can either use the windows inbuilt drivers or the manufacturer drivers in win 10 and win 11

    How do I stop minecraft bedrock on nintendo switch from crashing?

    Hello Oscar,

    The reason we recommend Nintendo support is because the game is crashing on the Nintendo switch with a switch specific error code. We only have steps for games crashing on Xbox or Windows 10 devices.

    I highly recommend trying the Minecraft support site again, or the Minecraft forumsif you haven't already.

    Thanks!
