    Wireless Gaming Adapters: Xbox One S Controller Wont stay paired to PC
    Hey my PC for some reason wont connect to the Xbox one S controller I just got via Bluetooth

    Here is what happens:

    - Says controller ready to pair

    - Asks for password (just click next)

    - Says "Connected"

    - Then says "Paired"

    - After that, the controller keeps blinking as if still in pairing mode

    - Then in Bluetooth Devices it says "Xbox Wireless Controller Ready to Pair" again!

    And then the process repeats itself.

    It connects when I use a USB cord but the cord is too short to use comfortably.

    I have fully updated windows 10. And it the Bluetooth adapter can connect to my other devices. Any Suggestions?

    :)

    Xbox One Windows 10 Wireless Adapter Issues

    To the OPs problem for no sound and no vibration that should be fixed with the latest driver updates.

    For pairing, how are you pairing the controller? I have mentioned this on other posts, one easy alternate way to pair is to have your controller connected wired to the PC, plug in the Wireless Adapter to the PC as well, wait like 5 seconds, and unplug the
    controller, the driver stack will automatically have paired the controller to the adapter, just like on the Xbox.

    Once you pair the controller successfully and never use that controller for any other PC or Xbox, then the address of the adapter is saved in the controller. Repairing to the same adapter is not required. If it is not connecting, plug/unplug the adapter
    instead to reset the adapter.

    Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 disconnects after 7 seconds

    I purchased an Xbox One Elite Controller and Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 and can't get them to stay connected. They will sync up fine but will not stay connected for more than 5-7 seconds at a time. The light on the wireless adapter will turn
    off after being connected for a short time, and then a few seconds later will pair up again. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and my Xbox One controller works fine when plugged in via USB. Please help as this is incredibly frustrating. PC is running Windows
    10, of course.

    Can you use the Xbox one wireless headset chat mixer on PC if you have the usb wireless adapter?

    Yes, you can use the Xbox One wireless headset chat mixer on PC if you have the USB wireless adapter.

    To do this, you will need to follow these steps:

    1. Connect the USB wireless adapter to your PC.
    2. Turn on your Xbox One wireless headset and hold down the power button on the headset until it starts flashing. This puts the headset in pairing mode.
    3. Press the pairing button on the USB wireless adapter until the LED starts flashing.
    4. Once the LED on the USB wireless adapter stops flashing and stays lit, the headset is paired with your PC.
    5. Open the Xbox Accessories app on your PC, and click on the "Xbox One Wireless Controller" device.
    6. From there, you can adjust the chat mixer settings to your liking.
    Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to use the chat mixer on your Xbox One wireless headset with your PC.

    Xbox Wireless Adapter

    Hi,

    If you’re using the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10:

    1. Turn on your PC and sign in.
    2. Plug the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows into your PC. For more info, see
      Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
    3. Turn on your controller by pressing the
      Xboxbutton. When you turn on the controller, the
      Xbox button will start flashing.
    4. Press and hold the
      Pair button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter. A small light will flash for several seconds.
    5. Press and hold the
      Pairbutton on the top of the controller (the raised button). The
      Xbox button on the controller will flash more rapidly – this means your controller is searching for the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
      When connected, the Xbox button on the controller will stay lit.

    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!)
