    XBox Controller won't connect with Bluetooth after connecting with USB


    After connecting my Xbox One wireless controller to my pc, it requires a complete re-pair to get it to connect wirelessly. This happens consistently. I have already made sure that all drivers, firmwares, and windows updates are on the latest version.

    XBox controller disconnects from PC or stops responding

    Hi Keith, There are two ways to connect an Xbox controller to a PC: with a USB cable or via Bluetooth.

    Connect with a USB cable

    Plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on your PC.

    Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB port on your Xbox controller.

    The controller should automatically connect to your PC.

    Connect via Bluetooth

    Make sure your Xbox controller and PC have Bluetooth.
    Activate Bluetooth on your PC.

    Press and hold the pairing button on the Xbox controller for 3 seconds.

    The controller should appear in the list of Bluetooth devices on your PC.

    Select the Xbox controller from the list and click "Connect."

    Let me know if the information is still useful.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    XBox Elite Series 2 unplugged from PC using USB won't auto connect to Bluetooth

    That doesnt make any sense. Why would you design a bluetooth protocol on your own OS that didnt auto connect?
    It should auto connect. My controller does.

    The only time my Xbox One controller won't auto connect is when I've connected it to my gaming PC via USB to charge the battery. After this I have to re-sync the controller. But I only have to do this for the duration of the battery charge. My controller
    auto syncs first time from Windows boot up.

    The issue is that the controller has two wireless protocols. It does not use Bluetooth with the wireless gaming receiver, or when connected to an Xbox console.

    If your controller won't auto connect then there must be something wrong with your Bluetooth hardware on your PC. Have you tried a Bluetooth dongle to test this out?

    XBox Controller won't connect with Bluetooth after connecting with USB

    No outstanding updates showing in the xbox accessories app in Windows 10.

    All laptop firmware and drivers have been installed.

    All windows updates have been installed.

    The problem with the controller also affects Windows itself - normally you can select things in the start menu with the controller, when the pairing issue happens, the start menu doesn't respond to the controller so it's nothing to do with the games.

    Thanks for your suggestions.
