X-Box Controller via Bluetooth found but isn't even powered on.

The X Box One controller is Wi-Fi Direct and I don't believe it has a Bluetooth chip inside. On a side note, there is a Bluetooth capable chip inside the X Box One.

Peace, J.R.

One thing I just found out, the Xbox pad works with others when connected with a cable, previously I was using a bluetooth adapter which came with the controller.

Any chance of fixing it to work via bluetooth? As in, Xbox controller via bluetooth, other controller via cable.

just found the fix. In bluetooth settings, find the 'more bluetooth options' button. click that, and in that section select the tick box for 'allow bluetooth devices to find this pc' . Basically before the pc wasnt looking for the controller, what you
need is for the pc to be found by the controller

Found this on another post. It is a fix for Pressing A bringing up the Game Bar

Hey I think I found a working solution for this after trying the amalgamation of all the solutions online to connect a series x controller to windows 10 via bluetooth.

Connect controller via usb, update drivers through xbox accessories app. Then connect via bluetooth.

Go into device manager > human interface devices > Bluetooth LE XINPUT compatible input device > power management> disable "allow this computer to turn off this device"

services > device association service > set to automatic

Steam settings > set up controller as xbox controller

Hopefully the Accessory app will be updated with more features in the future.

Hope this helps

it uses wifi that the xbox has a receiver and sender for, similar to the microsoft pc wireless adapter but obviously built into the console.

no bluetooth at all. there is not a single bluetooth chip in the console, the modern xbox controller connect via wifi to the console or bluetooth to phones and pc if not using the adapter for pc. only the controller has bluetooth and this is basic at best.

Does the Xbox Series X or Series S support Bluetooth? | Windows Central

No Bluetooth for Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X doesn't have Bluetooth, similarly to the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. The reason is simple; the Bluetooth signal isn't strong enough to meet Microsoft's specifications for latency. Microsoft uses its proprietary signal, dubbed Xbox Wireless, for connecting controllers and other accessories, like the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and the SteelSeries 9X wireless headsets.

Microsoft's signal is far stronger than Bluetooth. Since many people typically game while sitting far away from their consoles in the living room or so on, Bluetooth's susceptibility to interference increases exponentially at longer ranges. If you were hoping you could use a USB Bluetooth adapter, it wouldn't work either, as the Xbox Series X and other Xbox One consoles don't have the drivers necessary to power them.
