Xbox One 1st Gen. Controller Constantly Disconnecting

Just an addition, here is another thread which discusses disconnecting controllers.

When I try to plug in my Xbox One X controller, I get a 'device not recognised'/'could not install', etc. error. It just vibrates once, then nothing happens. No light on the controller at all.

My 1st gen One controller does work perfectly fine though.

I'm running the 'xb1usb.11059.0.140526x64' driver which works with the 1st gen controllers perfectly.

I've even tried the 1st headphone jack variant and that didn't work either.

Tried many cables, many ports, and 3 different controllers, but the only one that works at all is my original 1st gen one.

Is there something I'm missing? Do the current controllers just not work on Win7?

What driver/update is needed for them to work?

it is can be a problem with cable or usb port. Did you try to connect gamepad to other PC or with other cable ?

is anyone having issues where the controllers are constantly disconnecting from the xbox one and then won't reconnect? We got this same console and the controllers disconnect every few days and to get them to reconnect we have to unplug the xbox for 20
seconds then reconnect it. using the connect buttons on the controller/console does nothing for some reason (no issues like this on the regular xbox one we have). very disappointing.

i still have the 1st gen xbox one and it is running strong

Same issues here! I had some minor reconnecting problems before, but since the last big preview update it got a lot worse. Even my new gamepad keeps reconnecting. Both of them are NOT updated, so you can see, it's not a accessory issue, it's the console!
