    Xbox One Controller connected to PC - how turn it off?


    I've read online that the Xbox One controller normally shuts off by itself after 15 minutes of inactivity but the Xbox One guide button on the controller stays lit indefinitely when conntect to my pc. I'm using AA batteries, so I don't want to drain them,
    is there anyway to shut off the controller other than disconnected it and taking out the batteries? Will it turn off after it is disconnected from the usb cable?

    Also, has microsoft said anything about making a wireless dongle like the 360 for pc? Also does the plug and play kit work when you hook it up to your pc? And is there no gui for windows pc like the 360's little battery monitor?

    :)

    Paired xbox one wireless controller to Xbox console, want to pair that to my windows 10

    Hi Microsoft,

    So I have an Xbox One S with two wireless Xbox One Controllers already paired to it. But I recently got a Windows 10 PC and I want to pair one of the controllers to my PC. But I don't how to do that. When I turn my controller on, with a usb connected from
    the controller to the pc, my Xbox console turns on. How do I pair my wireless controller, that is already paired with my console, to the PC? Do I have to disconnect the controller from the console (and if so, why)? Please answer this for me and thank you Microsoft.
    Have a good day guys.

    Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver not working

    This is how I have connected my remote in the past when I used it with my computer, just by connecting the USB to the computer and into the controller. For some reason this has stopped working though and no longer turns on the remote when I plug it in

    Xbox series controller turns on XBOX automatically after I disconnect from PC USB

    good work around but i am still surprised the controller is not turning off when holding the xbox button, as all my controller do and they are a mix of xbox one controllers and series controllers. regardless if connected via wireless or usb to the pc.

    I need a way to successfully unsync my Xbox controller from my console, so I can again use it on my laptop via bluetooth.

    For now, why not just turn off the Xbox at the wall, then sync your controller to your PC, then turn the Xbox back on at the wall. That way you wont turn the Xbox One on when syncing the controller to the PC.

    If you've not already done so. Take a look over the following link for information on using your Xbox One controller with a Windows PC.

    How can I Charge Controller on Win 10 PC but still play on my Xbox One?

    When a cord is connected to the Xbox One controller it turns off the wireless function to work as a wired controller. Because of this the suggestion of using a USB wall charger
    WILL NOT work.

    The only way that you can use your Xbox One Controller on a W10 PC and play Xbox whilst charging the controller at the same time is to stream the game to your PC with the Xbox App if your PC meets the minimum requirements for it. If you don't want to do
    this then the only thing to do is just connect a USB directly from your Xbox to your controller

    Xbox series gamepad constantly disconnecting from bluetooth. PC Windows 11

    Ok. So Fix bluetooth problems usually works for a while. But when I connect PC xbox controller via USB (older one, doesn't have bluetooth), the one which connected via Bluetooth keeps turning off every minute. And doesn't turn on itself, as it usually happens.
