    Xbox one controller not recognized as Xbox controller


    I connected my Xbox controller via Bluetooth to my windows 10 PC but the controller is not recognized as an Xbox controller. I want to be able to load up steam and have it be recognized but it just isn't. Does anyone have an idea of what the issue may be?

    :)

    Connectivity Controller Issues

    Hi Rayvn,

    Have you tried syncing the controller to another Xbox One console? In doing this test you can see whether or not the problem lies in your console no longer recognizing your controller or your controller not recognizing your console. If its the latter, then
    I'm afraid you might need to buy a new controller.
    Hey,

    The console recognizes the controller fine. It's the PC I'm having the issues with.

    NBA 2k14 Won't Recognize 2 Controllers

    You must sign the other controller in with a guest in order to make the game recognize the controller. Basically be signed in with two people on the Xbox one.

    Problema de Conectividad Control Elite Xbox (Connectivity Problem Control Elite Xbox)

    Hello again Rodrigo,

    Have you by any chance attempted to connect the controller directly to the PC through a wired connection?

    As well, you have mentioned that the controller that came with the Xbox One console is recognized on the PC, but that the elite controller is not recognized at all on the PC. This same elite controller, does it have any issues with connecting to the Xbox
    One console?

    Clarify this information and we'll await your reply.

    Best wishes!

    Problem Adaptator xbox one for pc

    On your Windows 10 PC, I would recommend opening Device Manager and check that the adapter is being recognized properly on the PC and there are no issues listed with that device.

    I would also recommend trying to connect the controller up via a USB cable and see if the controller is recognized that way.

    And before that, I would ask that this is a Xbox One controller, or is this an Xbox 360 controller that you're trying to use?

    MY XBOX ONE CONTROLLER WON'T SYNC AFTER A CONTROLLER UPDATE (NOT A XBOX UPDATE), IT DOESN'T GET RECOGNIZED BY THE PC OR BY THE XBOX ITSELF VIA USB

    I'll try that however, how it will recognize the controller since is not synced? all of this happened when I was updating the controller firmware not the xbox one firmware.
