    Xbox One Bluetooth Controller gets sluggish on Windows 10


    I have a Bluetooth Xbox One controller I am trying to get to work reliably with my Windows 10 gaming PC. The PC does have the Anniversary Edition and all other updates. Bluetooth is turned on and works great with my Logitech K480 keyboard. I have also
    updated the controller's firmware using the Windows Xbox Accessories app. I can pair the controller with Windows just fine. The problem is, after a period of time (and this varies between 10 minutes and an hour), the controller starts getting really sluggish
    on me. While sometimes it will barely respond to thumbstick inputs, other times it will go wildly in the direction I push the stick in. I have tried to unpair and re-pair, and I have tried turning the controller off and back on, rebooting the PC, and nothing
    seems to help. When I first reconnect, it's fantastic, but inevitably it goes wonky on me.

    I have tried this same process with two different Bluetooth controllers (one is standard white, the other is a Build-Your-Own), and both are doing the same thing. These issues do not happen with the standard Xbox One controller using the Wireless Adapter.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    Can't connect Xbox One S controller to iOS device

    Microsoft has not officially published bluetooth drivers for iOS.

    Currently, the bluetooth functionality on the controller is only supported on Windows 10 and Samsung Gear
    VR.

    Xbox One Bluetooth Controller gets sluggish on Windows 10

    Same issue for me - I am using the Asus BT400 dongle - works well for everything apart from this controller - also windows seems to enjoy forgetting its a pair device... any update from Microsoft on this would be great!

    Came across my old post today. One thing you might want to look at is whether or not your PC allows your Bluetooth devices to be turned off for Power Saving. If it is, make sure you turn it off so it doesn't do that. Seems to have cleared up the problem
    for me.

    Bluetooth

    Xbox One Wireless Controllers may support connecting to your PC via Bluetooth. Your controller has this feature if it looks like the one on bottom in this illustration:

    On Bluetooth-supported controllers, the plastic around the Xbox button is part of the face of the controller. On controllers without Bluetooth, the plastic around the Xbox button is part of the top, where the
    bumpers are.

    • Bluetooth does not support any attachments, such as headsets, chatpads, or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.
    • We recommend connecting only one controller at a time using Bluetooth.
    Follow these steps to pair your controller to your PC using Bluetooth:
