Xbox Accessories app on PC, No Firmware update button for my Xbox Series X Enwired...

In this case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to update your controller's firmware. You can do this on your Series X or your Windows 10 PC. To do it on the Series X, connect it using the USB cable and then go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories, and then select the controller you want to update. On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller. Then, select the Firmware version square, and then press Next to start the update process.

To do it on Windows 10, just download the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store. If you already have it installed, just run it. After opening the app, the procedure to update is the same one as on the Series X, press the "..." button and follow those steps.

Check if your controller works correctly after doing this.

• Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and then select Settings.
  
• select Windows Update.
  
• On the Windows Update page, select Check for updates to see if any updates are available.
  

including optional updates for your device.

• Once the updates have downloaded, select Install now to start the installation.
  
• Following installation, we recommend that you restart your device so that the latest updates can take effect.

Hi SomaTGW,

I am , a fellow Microsoft user like you.

I understand that you're having trouble rebinding the share button on your Xbox Series X/S controller.

To start, have you tried updating your Xbox Accessories app and your controller's firmware? Updating these might resolve the issue you're experiencing.

If you're using Windows 11 and haven't downloaded the Xbox Accessories app yet, you can find it in the Microsoft Store. Simply press the Start button, type "Xbox Accessories," or choose it from the list, and sign in to open the app. Here's the link for reference: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

For updating your Xbox Series X/S controller's firmware, you have two options: wireless or USB connection. If you prefer the wireless method, press the Xbox button to open the guide, go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories, and select the controller you want to update. On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, choose "..." to check the firmware version. If it says "Update," select Firmware version and follow the provided steps. Here's the link with detailed instructions: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. I'm here to help you with this.

Best regards,

I am on a PC where can I find the update? My Xbox Accessories app say that my controller is up to date.

my Controller firmware is 4.8.1908.0

The Xbox Accessories app recognise my controller and even register the stick movements when I set up a profile. But in Test Mode no buttons are registering?????
