Xbox Controller Connection to PC does not work

christianbarbu · Mar 27, 2022

Hello,

I want to use my Xbox series controller via bluetooth. It has worked until I did the following thing:

I've disabled the HID-Compliant Game controller in the device manager.

After restarting my computer, whenever I connected with my controller to the computer I got a bluescreen with the message "ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY". This happened every single time, without exception.

Then I deleted the Xbox controller from the bluetooth connections and tried again. Now it connects after a way too long time for 4 seconds - on the screen it says "connected", but the controller goes back in slow blinking mode. It is then not connected.
Now I don't know how to revert the previous step as I can't find the HID-Compliant Game controller in the device manager anymore, even if I enable "show hidden".

Does somebody have an idea of how I could solve this problem?

Greetings
Christian

the controller supports bluetooth connection to pc and mobile devices but does not support audio over bluetooth in any way shape or form (does support audio passthrough when wired to pc)

the headset should work though when the controller is wirelessly connected to the xbox one.

have you resynced the controller to the xbox one.

Hi,

There are several reasons why an Xbox controller does not work on Windows 10 PC. We can try to connect the controller via wireless, here is a

link on how to troubleshoot and connect an Xbox controller via wireless.

We'll keep an eye on your response.

Does this controller work with your XBox? The reason I asked is trying to determine whether the issue is a setting on the PC or the controller itself when it comes to wireless connectivity.

I have the same problem. I think it was caused by a controller update (version from 17.11.2021). I enjoyed the new fast switching feature between Xbox and Bluetooth devices (double click pairing button).

Switching controller between Xbox/Bluetooth devices - OK

Xbox connection - OK

Android mobile connection (bluetooth) - OK

PC Win10 USB connection - OK

PC Win10 Bluetooth connection - does not work. the pairing will be fine but controller does not work.

Xbox One S, 2pcs XboxOne controller, Windows 10 completely updated.

EDIT:

resolved issue - update Windows 10 21H2.
