    Wireless Gaming Adapters: Xbox One Controller not working with Usb B cable


    Wireless Gaming Adapters: Xbox One Controller not working with Usb B cable (PC)
    Hi,

    I'm on PC (to reiterate) and my problem is the xbox controller that I bought does not work with the usb b to usb cable I had... it plugs in, but I don't hear the cheerful "Bling" sound and it does not work. I waited and retried, and even restarted my PC
    but it still wont work. It was working, but then my game froze and my controller stopped working.

    Thanks in advance,

    Xylin

    PS I didn't know where to put this, so I'm sorry if I put it in the wrong forum and category.

    :)

    Connect a wireless adapter (original Xbox 360 console only)

    If you want to enjoy the Xbox LIVE entertainment experience, you have to first connect an Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to your original Xbox 360 console.

    Steps to Follow

    1) Use the plastic tabs on the adapter to secure it into the slots at the back of your console.

    2) Plug the USB cable of the adapter into the USB port of your console.

    3) If you have any network cable plugged into the back of your console you should unplug it.

    4) Flip up the antennae of the wireless adapter and check the light on it. If the light is green, you are ready to proceed to the next step.

    If there is no green light on the adapter, you have to troubleshoot it.

    If you have a Kinetic sensor, you should read instructions for Extension cables and USB hubs with the Kinetic sensor.

    Controller not working

    The USB play and charge kit for xbox 360 does NOT make it a wired controller
    - only transfers power, not data. You will see it as a device but there's no driver or any software that will make this work.

    The only way to connect a wireless xbox 360 controller to a PC is with the xbox 360 USB wireless adapter for windows. You can also buy a purely wired xbox 360 controller from xbox or a 3rd party manufacturer: they all will work.

    I would suggest an xbox one controller as those wireless controllers DO turn into a wired controller when a micro USB cable is used. Bluetooth is also available on newer ones.

    Xbox one controller not connecting to Xbox Wireless Adapter for win10

    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.

    How to connect new controller to microsoft windows controller adapter?

    Hello Quinquadrate,

    I asume you are talking about the official Xbox Wireless Adapter Controller.

    Is that is true, you can follow the steps described in here for connecting it : https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/...ories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-setup

    If not, the other solution is :

    Plug the Wireless Adapter to your PC

    Connect your Xbox One Controller to your PC via USB cable

    When the controller is connected, unplug the USB cable from the controller

    At this point, the controller should be paired with your Wireless Adapter (or at least, that works for me everytime!)
