  1. Windows 10 reciever for 360 controller disconnects consistently after a few minutes


    I've been searching forums and trying all the solutions found but nothing has worked so far. The problem is this: I can connect to my controller, and most of the time it will be recognized as player 1. However, with both drivers (used wireless receiver 10.xxxxx
    from 2016 and 2.xxxx from 2009) the controller will usually work for a short period of time like 1-10 mins and then get stuck in a loop of sorts, where the last input state is repeated until the receiver is unplugged. i.e. If I am strafing left in a game,
    it will continue doing that, If I'm doing nothing it will continue doing that.

    After this, the controller will still display as being player 1, but trying to connect the receiver and controller will result in the controller picking up the signal immediately but never setting as player 1 (or any player) needless to say, it also doesn't
    receive any further input. This indicates it should be a driver issue of some kind but I can't imagine what as it worked just fine until it stopped. Unplugging and replugging the receiver can sometimes fix this, but it starts the same short cycle and stops
    working soon or immediately after. Switching to a different USB port with the same driver has the same result.

    There are a few possible things that occurred which the controller disconnected after, like tabbing out of the game, switching focus to a different monitor, but it seems like time is the main thing that results in the disconnect.

    I've tried switching between driver versions, running the driver installer in compatibility mode, restarting when the drivers prompts it, switching to the Xbox 360 controller driver, but nothing has so far seemed to fix the problem.

    This is a labtop that came with windows 10, using USB 3.0 ports, using it on Dark Souls 2, not that that matters but it does increase my level of despair at having to use PC controls.

    Any suggestions are welcome, I've run out of options and really want to get this working, especially since it did work with few or no issues at one point and I can't think of anything that has changed that would affect the receiver.

    thanks.

    :)

    Although I bought the controller around 2+ years ago, I used it maybe 10 times.

    Is it possible to have it replaced?

    xbox 360 controller frequently disconnects on PC

    Hello Matthew,

    We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns your Xbox 360 controller consistently being disconnected from your Windows 10 PC.

    If you have already followed the steps provided through our troubleshoot your Xbox 360 controller for Windows
    support article, and if the controller still is not functioning as it should, it would then mean that the controller itself is causing the disconnection and may need to be replaced.

    Please confirm if you have followed the linked article, and we'll be right here awaiting your response.

    Best wishes.

    My solution to Xbox one controller random disconnecting

    You will actually get a few disconnections in a row after you do the couple of minutes but after a few more attempts getting the controller closer it will stay solid connected and Im 9 feet away.

    Again just sharing what works for me controller is updated.
