Xbox controller works in Xbox Accessories, but not in games

issavgg · Mar 17, 2023

I bought an Xbox controller with a wireless adapter. The controller shows up on Xbox accessories and all the buttons work there, but games don't detect it, so none of the buttons work in games. Any ideas? I'm on Windows 10.

As long as you have the option to sync your wireless controller with your Xbox 360 it should work.

Hi there Volcannon,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with creating slots/profiles for the accessory device. What accessory are you working with? (Xbox One wireless controller, Xbox One Elite wireless controller, Adaptive Controller)

I recommend taking a look at the following troubleshooting articles:

Hello, thank you for responding. I did that, and the controller still doesn't work in games.
