Wireless Controller Adapter does not work

GhostVampire14 · May 12, 2020

I have bought a Xbox One Conroller with Windows 10 adapter a month ago.

It always conneected to the PC, but last time when i put it in the pc that little white light did not light up and I can not connect the controller anymore.

When I put it in the pc i receive a notification that says it Windows do not recognize the device.

Just did that. Thought it would work but it didn't.

When connected with USB and the wireless adapter is on and connected, when you unplug the controller does it turn off or does it connect to the wireless adapter?

If it turns off after unplugging it from USB you will need a new controller.

I tried with a USB to microUSB cable and it did not connect by this way, but the wireless adapter did not lights up, so i can not connect the controller neither by cable, nor by the wireless adapter.

I will buy another wireless adapter if I can not connect the controller by cable because i realized that the adapter is broken.

Hi there,

Have you tried to connect the controller to your PC with another USB cable?

Hi

- There was 3 versions of the controller right ? Does they all work on w7 (x64) ?

They will all work, but only with a wired connection. Bluetooth is not supported for Windows 7 nor is the Wireless adapter for the Xbox One controller unfortunately.

- Can we play wireless on w7 or it just works with the wire ? Heard that you could play wireless with the
OLD microsoft wireless adaptator (the usb key for xbox controller) but not the new adaptator wich is specific to windows 10.

See previous answer. As for an older Adapter, I'm not aware of such a device. I'm pretty sure all adapters only support Windows 10.

- Would like to buy the RED xbox one controller, does it have a software difference with classic xbox one controller and for some reasons it only work on w10 or it's just a color change ?

All Xbox One controllers will work with Windows 10, but only via a wired connection.

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.
