    Windows does not detect Xbox one controller on USB


    I connected an Xbox One controller to my Windows 8.1 PC last night and it worked fine - Windows detected it.

    This morning, I tried again - the white "X" light on the controller flashes slowly for about 10 seconds, then turns off. Windows never detects anything.



    The only difference between last night and today is that today I am not at home (where my console it) - so my Xbox One console is too far away.



    Does this mean that I cannot use my XBox One controller as a USB controller on a PC, unless my console is within radio range too? That would be kinda useless.



    Thanks!

    :)

    Xbox Controller Firmware and Windows Anniversary Update - Still not working

    Hello,

    I'm one of those unfortunate people who has an Xbox One Controller that can't work with the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.

    Basically after updating to the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition my Xbox One Controller drivers not longer detect the xbox controller.

    I have tried reverting back to the old drivers - This allows it to work completely fine as per
    Windows 10 Anniversary Update breaks Xbox One controller drivers.

    I have tried using the Xbox Accessories App but also does not detect my controller connected by micro usb so I can't update the firmware.

    Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox console so I can't try updating that way. Neither does the retailer unfortunately.

    Has anybody got any suggestions on how they fixed this?

    Connecting a xbox360 controller to a pc thru xbox360

    No that is not possible to connect a controller to your PC through your console. You will need the Xbox 360 wireless USB receiver for windows or buy a pure wired USB xbox 360 controller (microsoft and 3rd party ones available and all will work).

    The play and charge USB cable for xbox 360 controllers does not make a wireless controller wired as it only transfers power and not data.

    You could buy an xbox one wireless controller that is newer and has bluetooth and connect it to your PC directly as seen on this page: :

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc

    You can also use an xbox one wireless controller of any type (with or without bluetooth) with a Micro USB cable on a PC as well. THAT wire does make the xbox one wireless controller act as a wired controller while connected via Micro USB.

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Okay, I just discovered an issue:

    The Xbox Stereo Headset's microphone does NOT work when connected via a USB hub, even if it's the only device attached to the USB hub. The microphone is detected, but it does not detect any sound in the volume meter.

    As soon as I plug my Xbox One controller directly into the Surface Pro 2, the microphone immediately detects sound.

    Problema de Conectividad Control Elite Xbox (Connectivity Problem Control Elite Xbox)

    Yes in this moment i have it connected by USB cable if I can connect it and my PC detects it. But I want it connected without using the usb cable. It's a pretty expensive control that buys it with a lot of effort. And I do not know why a normal control detects it without problem and the Elite does not work.
    And regarding your other question, my elite control does not have any connection problem with my xbox one s

    Xbox One Gamepad issues in Windows 10 and Steam Link

    Hey there ms076x.

    Just to clarify, does your PC not detect your Xbox One controller while the chat pad is connected or has it stopped detecting it completely? If it's only the chat pad, do you possibly have a friend with a chat pad you can test to see if there's any change?
    My apologies for the delay in a response. Work was murder this week.

    To answer your question:

    Just to clarify, does your PC not detect your Xbox One controller while the chat pad is connected or has it stopped detecting it completely?
    The controller works fine, just the Chat pad does not work.

    HOWEVER, I discovered after making this post that neither the chat pad nor the stereo audio adapter works with Windows via Bluetooth.

    Unless I am misunderstanding everything I am reading, it will work either with a cable, or with the wireless USB "dongle", but not Bluetooth.

    From this Article: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-and-troubleshoot-xbox-one-bluetooth-issues-windows-10

    And from this one: https://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc

    Under the

    Set up a controller using Bluetooth
    section:

    • Bluetooth does not support any attachments, such as headsets, chatpads, or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.

    So my new question is, can anyone verify that the Chat pad will, in fact, work with the
    Wireless USB "dongle":

    Specifically through Steam Link is what I am wondering but also just Windows 10.

    Thank you in advance.
