Xbox Controller adapter for pc not connecting on startup

CamBaMs MonkeY · Aug 4, 2022

Every time i shut my pc off and turn it back on, and try to turn on my xbox controller, it blinks indefinitely as if not connected. but then when i unplug the adapter and plug it back in the computer recognizes it and the controller connects fine. i dont want to have to put that much stress on my usb port removing the adapter so much. any ideas? i feel like its an issue of the pc not recognizing the adapter is plugged in on startup. any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello, CamBaMs. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

I would suggest you to try to reinstall the adapter driver. Please go to Start > Search and click on Device manager. Search for the adapter driver, right click on it and select Uninstall. Restart your computer with the adapter unplugged. After the restart, plug the adapter and the computer will install the driver again.

See if the issue persists and please let me know.

To connect the controller to the PC are you using a bluetooth connection or the xbox wireless adapter?

Hey there Roy,

Yes the Xbox Adaptive Controller is compatible with Windows 10 computers and also with Windows 8.1 & Windows 7 Pc's but will have limited functionality. Click on the following link for different ways to

Connect the Xbox Adaptive Controller to a PC.

Once you have connected the controller then you can go ahead and
Customize the Xbox Adaptive Controller in the Xbox Accessories app and remap the buttons on the controller. The two circular pads on the controller are simply buttons, they do not have any tech that will allow you to use swiping features to type or to be
used as the cursor for the PC.

When Gaming on a PC using the Adaptive controller you should still see the on-screen keyboard to type messages, You would then use the d-pad or joysticks to type just as you would with a standard Xbox One Controller.

The adaptive controller should respond to a toe's touch as the buttons on it are pretty sensitive. In order to get more functionality you can attach different devices using the 3.5mm ports on the back of the controller so that you can then Map these to specific
functions. You can take a look at the following support article for more information on

Connecting external devices to the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

I hope this helps.
