Xbox One Controller doesn't work on Windows 10.

AmazingSnail438 · Oct 10, 2015

The controller acts like I'm pressing the right trigger. I have not been able to find a way to fix this. Some people say to go to:

device manager

xbox controller (right click)

update driver

browse my computer

let me pick

microsoft xbox one controller

This did not work for me however and the controller just stopped working completely when I switched. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, calibrating, resetting to default, different xbox one controllers, new and old usb cables, and etc. Anybody have
an answer to this?

No audio out of Xbox One 3.5mm port

No audio on the Xbox One controller with the 3.5mm port using Beats headphones with the wireless Xbox One adapter on Windows 10. It actually doesn't work for any games on PC, but does work with the same
setup for my Xbox One. The controller is up to date and so is the pre-installed driver.

Certain games do not interpret the controller data properly. Which games have you seen behave this way? Manually changing the driver stack on Windows 10 is not recommended or supported.

My other PC with Windows 10 works perfect

Is it because Xbox 360 controller doesn't support on Windows 11 ?

Theory of Game

The Xbox One console doesn't support Bluetooth. That headset won't work with the Xbox One in any way.

The new Xbox One controllers (the ones that come with the Xbox One S) have Bluetooth, but that's only used to connect the controller to a Windows 10 PC through Bluetooth.

If the power cycle suggested above doesn't work:

Are you doing this on Xbox or Windows 10? (There's an Xbox Accessories app on both platforms.)

If the one you're trying isn't working, you can attempt to use the app on the other platform (if you have it available) to see if that is any better. Changes made to the controller settings in the Windows 10 app would still, I believe, hold true when you use
the controller on Xbox One.

Hi,

Sounds like a faulty controller to me. Especially if it used to work but now it doesn't and the fact that you've tried it on two different computer's.

Downloading drivers won't help as there are no updated drivers. The drivers for the Xbox 360 controllers are built into Windows 10. There no issues with Xbox 360 controllers and Windows 10 to my knowledge.

The only way for sure would be to try another Xbox 360 controller or a third party Xinput supported controller. Failing that an Xbox One or Series X|S controller.

the answer is it is a wireless controller they dont work with the usb charging cable ive tried it on windows 7 and 10 you need a proper wired controller apparently.

That's true for 360 controllers, but not Xbox One. The Xbox One controllers work wired and via wireless on PC. My wiress controllers all work fine via the micro USB cable on my PC.

Windows 7 doesn't come with drivers built in to the OS though, they may need need to be downloaded manually if Windows update isn't picking up the controller.
