Windows Wireless Controller adapter can't use port 1

The Iipo · Jan 19, 2016

Hi, I bought a wireless xbox controller adapter for windows a while back, at first, it worked fine. Then it started having issues, after using several other controllers on it, Port 1 stopped working. I can't connect to it, and I've tried everything

I've connected 4 controllers to it, didn't work, port 1 still taken by something that doesn't exist

I've re-installed it, I even deleted all the files

I've deleted everything controller related on Accessories menu through control panel

I even did some random stuff on cmd that were supposed to work

What can I do?

:)

xbox one pad compatibility question

Hi

It is not possible to use the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to connect this controller to your PC. This controller looks like it features Bluetooth so you may be able to connect it this way or alternately you can connect it via a USB cable or the wireless adapter.

It may also be possible to purchase the controller and wireless adapter together such as I have linked below.

Please note to use the Windows wireless adapter it looks like your PC must be running Windows 10.

Does it make any difference if you have 4 controllers and 8 available channels?

I have also port 1 utilized by some fake device.

My gamepads were connected to port 2 (pad works) and port 3 (pad doesn't work).

After removing fake device on port 1 and adapter reinstallation, ports are updated.

Still port 1 is occupied by fake device.

One controller is detected on port 3 (works) and another on port 4 (doesn't work).

How Microsoft could release it on the market?

Have they tested it?

Next update:

I have tried MS suport 4 times (3 chats and one voice support). They promissed to escalate this issue and send me details about planned solution.

It was yesterday and I haven't recieved any mail confirmation as promissed.

Dissapointing.

Hello!

The controller won't bind to the adapter

If the binding instructions are not working, try the following solutions:

Ensure you're within range (6 meters or less) of the adapter and it's in line of sight to the controller.
If you have an Xbox controller, try rebinding your controller to the console by pressing the Connect button on the console, and then the Connect button on the controller. The LEDs will flash and become solid when the binding is successful. If your controller
does bind, you have isolated the issue to the Wireless Adapter for Windows. If your controller does not bind to your console, see Set
up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
Unplug your adapter, reboot your device, and then plug it back in (to another port if possible), and try again.

Summary: I fixed it by plugging USB cable into a controller and pc, win 10 recognized it, system restart was required and after that controller was working wirelessly also.

Longer description: I installed fresh windows 10, downloaded and installed all win updates, then I tried all these steps and at the end controller started working.

1) plugged wireless adapter into USB windows 10 recognized it but Xbox one controller won't connect (keep on blinking)

2) plugged wireless adapter into another USB port but Xbox one controller won't connect (keep on blinking)

3) plugged wireless adapter into another USB port started task manager removed Xbox one adapter, windows found it again but still noting (gamepad keep on blinking)

4) plugged wireless adapter into another USB port (front) started task manager removed Xbox one adapter and Xbox drivers, windows found it again installed it but still noting (gamepad keep on blinking)

5) FINALLY, I fixed it by plugging USB cable into a controller and pc, win 10 recognized it, system restart was required and after that controller was working wirelessly also.

Thanks for your answer, would like it to wireless but I can handle it

Does all xbox one controller have an usb C port to be connected or some are wireless only ? (Sorry about all these questions but never had an xbox one controller between my hand)

And I found 2 link on microsoft website about wireless connexion here they are, but in french (i'm on phone can't find them in English) but here's the translation of interesting parts :

https://support.xbox.com/fr-BE/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-compatibility

"The wireless adaptator for windows 10 has been made to be used on windows 10 only. The old wireless adaptator xbox for windows works on device running windows 10, windows 8.1 and windows 7. "

That's where I heard about the "old adaptator"

And I just found this link :

https://support.xbox.com/fr-FR/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-one-wireless-controller-differences-on-windows-operating-systems

This is line 1, 2 and 3 of the table :

"Fonctionality : usb wired connexion : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1

Fonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1

Fonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows 10 : works on windows 10, doesn't work on windows 7."

So seems like there is 2 wireless adaptator and one of them seems to work on windows 7 but they don't precise if it's for xbow one or 360...sigh now you understand why i'm so lost, 3 versions of the controller, 2 different adaptator, many software update...I
know the best is to switch to W10 but I never had a single problem on w7 and would like to keep it as long as possible.

Thanks again !

Hi there,

That's a negative. You can use Xbox One controllers on an Xbox One console and using the newer

wireless adapter for Windows 10. The X360 controller is programmed to work on Windows PCs, but relies on its own 'Xbox 360 Controller for Windows Wireless Adapter'. These can be found cheaply, second hand. Here are some useful links, for you:

Hope this helps,
