Xbox one Controller identified as Bluetooth LE Xinput Device

I'm in the same boat as you
Feel like updating the controller screwed it
If you ever find a fix please let me know.

I have the same problem. I calmly played through bluetooth until I connected it by wire and updated the gamepad firmware. Now through bluetooth is not defined as a xbox one controller (xbox accessories see it correctly). The solution with installing the required driver on top does not work, since a reboot is required (nothing works without it), and after a reboot, the driver returns to its place. And again, nothing is determined. Has anyone found a solution? Yes, all the latest updates for Windows 10 and the controller are installed.

Hi,

This solution is not credible, as post manually changin the driver on the device manager.

The computer gets a restart after which we are back to zero. Same situation.

Either provide a custom patch to this problem or atleast let us downgrade the controller firmware when it was supported, for god sake!!

Hi,

This is so frustrating that there is yet no solution! I have literally done all mentioned above and more for a month now. I have even clean installed my whole PC just because of this issue.

I have a Xbox Elite 2 controller and it used to work fine. I’ve been using it for a year. Since I updated the firmware, it screwed me up. In some games it doesn’t recognize it, in some games the controls are reversed, and in some, surprisingly shows me as 2 controllers connected which is totally ridiculous.

I can just go and buy the Xbox wireless adapter and it’ll work perfectly fine, but there is still something wrong, which needs to be fixed, because it’s not like it was never working for me to find another way around it. I want it back like it used to be connected via Bluetooth.

No. This is still a huge problem. It's been an issue since these controllers have been out which is over 2 years now. I've tried numerous attempted fixes from the internet and none of them work. The controller just doesn't work properly via Bluetooth in Windows.
