  1. Xbox Console and Xbox Accessories App have different controller firmware updates? Which is...


    I have both a Green Recycled Series S/X controller and a FH5 Series S/X controller. I use the FH5 controller mainly on PC and the Green Recycled controller mainly on Xbox One X.

    I got an update message over a month ago on the XB1X to update the green controller which I did. Today, I remembered this and out of boredom went and connected my FH5 controller to my PC via USB-C cable to update it via the XBox Accessories app. It detects the controller without issue but says No Update Available. I clicked that box and it checks for update and confirms again no update available.

    So I connect the FH5 controller to my XB1X and it says it needs an update. I updated it and then checked again on the PC and it says No Update Available still.

    Based on this, it seems the XB1X (same on Series S/X?) console provides a different firmware version to controllers than the Xbox Accessories app on PC. I would assume the firmware version provided by the console is the newer version, but would like to confirm this understanding.

    My Xbox one controller stopped working on the Xbox dashboard.

    If you need to update your Xbox controller firmware and don't have access to another controller to do so

    Use the Xbox Accessories app on Windows 10 If you have a Windows 10 computer, you can try updating the controller firmware through the Xbox Accessories app. Connect your Xbox controller to your computer using a USB cable and open the Xbox Accessories app. Under the "Controller" tab, you should see the option to update the controller firmware if an update is available.

    Use a friend's Xbox console If you have access to a friend or family member's Xbox console, you can try connecting your controller to their console and performing the firmware update from there. Once you've completed the update, you can reconnect the controller to your own console.

    If none of the above options are viable, you may consider visiting an authorized Xbox service center. There, trained technicians can help you update the controller firmware using their own equipment.

    Xbox Controller Suddenly Malfunctioning - right joystick 'stuck' up

    Thank you!

    Okay now that we know that you have a console, you can try reverting your controller's firmware by trying the steps below:

    • Power on and sign into your console
    • Go to "My Games and Apps"
    • Go to your "Apps" section and select the Xbox Assist app
    • Once in the Xbox Assist app, head over to the "Articles" section, then select "Console & Accessories"
    • Once under "Console & Accessories" you should see "My controller has connection issues after the last update"
    • Select the "Check controller firmware" button below and the Xbox Accessories app should automatically open up
    • Once in the Xbox Accessories app, select "Revert Firmware"
    It's important to note that once you've completed this process, you will have to manually update the controller through the Xbox accessories app going forward.

    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 cannot wake Windows 10 PC via controller

    The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 has the newest driver (there's no firmware update in Xbox Accessories app) and the Xbox Series controller has the newest firmware (updated via Xbox Accessories app). Didn't help.

    Headset not giving audio

    You may have to double check to see if your controllers need a firmware update. Go to Settings -> Devices & streaming -> Accessories (or open the Xbox Accessories app on your console), then see if there's a firmware update for your controller. Click on
    the three dots on the screen, and that should tell you if there's an update available.
