Xbox One controller no longer works or shows up in device manager.

Hey guys! I would suggest you guys check out the these steps on setting up your

Xbox One controller on a Windows device. Post back if you have further issues!

I should've mentioned that the device does not show up in device manager, and never has. My mistake. I have never connected this controller to another computer, but works fine on the console itself.

Following the steps in the link you provided doesn't work either, as the Xbox Accessories app just says 'connect an Xbox One controller to start', despite it being connected.

Please try not using the USB hub and use a direct USB to USB to your PC for the xbox one controller.

Otherwise, the warranty for the xbox one controller does not cover accidental damage. You will have to buy a new one if there's a problem here.

As for the xbox 360 controller, the play and charge kit does not make it a USB controller, that device only transfers power, not data - even though it shows up on device manager. You will need the Xbox 360 wireless receiver for windows for that to work,
or a purely wired xbox 360 controller.

As for the USB hub having issues, please uninstall it from the device manager and reboot and see if it gets the drivers reinstalled.

I've already done that. It shows up as an Xbox One Controller in Device Manager, I've also manually downloaded the drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled for safe measure. The controller still randomly turns off and on.

Same here, mine just suddenly stopped working on my PC connected using a micro usb cable.

I tried six different USB cables i have in my house and it doesnt help.

This all started with the Win10 update on Sept. 29th 2016.

Controller connects when plugged into USB port, but sometimes it say device not recognized and is flagged in device manager, sometimes it appears to connect and even lists it correctly as Microsoft Xbox One Controller in Device Manager with no flags and
the X button lights up and all looks good, but the Xbox Accessories App doesnt recognize it (Connect A Controller to Get started error)....and of course the controller doesnt actually work even though device manager says its working properly.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out, ive uninstalled and re-installed the drivers through device manager and/or the xb1usb.11059.0.140526x64.msi driver so many times and nothing works.....the controller just randomly ends up in code 10 or code 43
error in device manager or looks perfect in device manager, yet no longer works.

I wish I could at least get the Xbox Accessories App to recognize it so i can check the firmware.

And unfortunately for me, i dont have an xbox one, so i cannot do it with a console.

notes:

My xbox 360 controllers work fine on my PC

Even doing a clean install of and older version of Win 10 before the anniversary update doesnt help
