XBOX Adapter for Windows 10 suddenly stops working (for the second time)

Hello,

I've recently (one month ago) bought a XBOX Adapter for Windows 10 and it just suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. It doesn't connect to my controller anymore, it doesn't blink and it doesn't show up in my device manager. I have tried a lot of tips I have found on this forum, like uninstalling the driver (this was while I was still able to see it in my devices but not able to use it), using the device manager throubleshoot, restarting my pc a dozen of times, updating windows, connecting it to a different PC and more. Nothing seems to work for me, even though this adapter isn't even that old. And this is the second Adapter which just suddenly stopped working for me which just doesn't make sense in my head because all I did was use it to play games with my controller (which is also a new one).

I would really appreciate it if anyone is able to help me.

:)

I can not really help you but I am facing just the same problem.

About 30 minutes ago the adapter stopped working on my Windows 11 22H2.

Thought the adapter could be defective but plugging it into all my other devices (still running windows 10 or linux) is working perfect.

Please, fix it, Microsoft!

Hi milter,

No problem! To answer your second question, yes the power adapter is compatible for Xbox One S, Xbox One X, and Windows 10 and is the only Kinect adapter available. You can use the adapter to connect a Kinect for Xbox One to an Xbox One S or an Xbox One
X or you can use the adapter to connect either a Kinect for Xbox One or Kinect for Windows v2 to a Windows 10 PC.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!
