    Xbox 360 controller not functioning on Windows Store/Xbox (beta) only


    Hi,

    I downloaded some of the Windows updates so that I could use the Game Pass for PC, and prior to this I had Forza Horizon 3 and it worked just fine through the Windows Store - however now with the update, any games downloaded from the store, or through the Xbox(beta) app, they don't detect that I even have a controller installed.

    It works just fine still with all my Steam games, though. Has anyone else come across this, and found a workaround? I've un/reinstalled the drivers, Windows is the most up to date, done all the regular things.

    What the hell have you done to the XBOX APP

    Hi

    The Windows 10 Game Bar can be used to do what you've asked here. The Beta App's main function is to download Game Pass games (which actually download via the Windows Store).

    To open the Game Bar hold the Windows key and press G, or press the Xbox button on an Xbox One or Xbox 360 controller.

    Xbox (Beta) Windows 10 App

    Guessing the Xbox Beta app combines console companion and the windows store?

    Found the functionality I was looking for in the windows store (access to Game Pass PC software).

    You can, but you'll need an Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver which is currently out of production. They're generally available secondhand on sites like eBay.

    However, if your laptop has Bluetooth (or if you add Bluetooth functionality via a dongle), you can use the current line of Xbox One controllers with Windows without an adapter. Older controllers won't work as the Bluetooth functionality was added fairly
    recently. The new controllers also work with smartphones for the upcoming xCloud service (currently in beta) and even for other games.

    Xbox app on Windows 10 won't launch

    Have you tried installing the Xbox app (Beta) from the Windows store? It's functionally the same as the Xbox app, and perhaps you'll have more success launching it.

    Let us know if that helps; thanks!
