    Windows 10 fails to recognise the Xbox wireless adapter


    Title says it all, it works fine on my laptop but for some reason it fails to recognise the device when plugged into the pc and it gives an error message of "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows doesn't recognise it."

    我的xbox无线适配器无法和xbox one手柄连接 I can't connect the xbox one wireless controller with the wireless adapter

    Hello ziyiJiang,

    Are you using Windows 10? If you are, Windows 10 should recognise the wireless adapter directly. Is the adapter the original one from Microsoft or a third party one?

    In case is the official one, follow the instructions described in this url : https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/connect-xbox-wireless-controller-to-pc

    In case it doesn't work, maybe the adapter is malfunctioning. You should take it to the shop and get it changed for a working one.
