    Xbox 360 wireless not working on Windows 10


    After I upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 my xbox wireless controller can't maintain a connection with my adapter. I plug my adapter, it works fine. I turn on the controller it connects with the adapter, I can even play for like 20 seconds. But the
    controller keeps trying to do something by making the lights spin and after some seconds it will just disconnects and turn off.

    I tried on different computer both using windows 10 and I have the same issue. I tried updating the drivers but nothing works....

    :)

    Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Battery Status on Windows 10

    Before updating to Windows 10, my computer was on Windows 7 and I was able to check the battery status of my xbox 360 wireless controller by touching the guide button, but it does not work in windows 10. ¿There is any way to check de battery status
    of the xbox 360 controller on windows 10?

  4. Xbox 360 wireless not working on Windows 10

    I don't know if this will work or not or even if it applies to windows 10, but in windows 8.1 there is a device service called "Device Association Service" and mine was not running on start up. It was set to manually run. I don't know the full purpose
    of the service, but the description says "Enables pairing between the system and wired or wireless devices". Again, mine was not running, so I changed the start up type to Automatic and started the service. It should now run whenever the computer is started.
    If you have this service and it is turned off, you could start the service and see if the controller connects longer than half a minute.

    I think you might be having the same problem I'm having. It was also posted here:

    steamcommunity.com/.../522729358580802775

    Whenever I play a game in full-screen mode, I can navigate the menus with the controller but when gameplay starts, it disconnects. I reconnect and when I take it off pause, the controller disconnects again. It works perfectly in windowed mode. Does anyone
    have a solution? Is there a good driver to manually install on Windows 10?

    Windows 10 + XBOX 360 Wireless Adapter / Controller don't work anymore

    I don't own an xbox. I just use the XBOX 360 Wireless Controllers with the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. On toher devices (without OS Windows 10) it's working.

    I followed this instruction (sadly in german, can't find the english one, but it was the same):

    But i'm stuck on Point 3.

    Can I use Xbox 360 controller for windows 10?

    Hi,

    Both wired and wireless Xbox 360 controllers work on Windows 10. Wired is just plug and play while wireless controllers need a receiver. I know 360 controllers work as I've used them on my own gaming PC running the latest version of Win 10.

    What is needed to get the Microsoft 360 Wireless Racing Wheel to function on a laptop

    I believe the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel should work on the PC if you have the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver. That dongle enables you to use Xbox 360 controllers wirelessly on the PC. I'd imagine it's the same technology in the Racing Wheel. It worked on
    Windows 7, so hopefully it should work with Windows 10.

    Controller Xbox360 / PC / Windows 10 - Issues

    Hi Sidney N Paula,

    sorry to hear. First of all the 360 controller only works with USB-cable on Windows 10 computer. For the wireless mode you need a

    speciall wireless adapter and a extra driver
    . And second as far as I know, sorry some XBOX ONE GAMES do not recognize the 360 Controller.

    Hope this helps
