    Xbox One controller not turning on and connecting to PC


    My Xbox One controller has suddenly stopped working, it does not turn on. The only thing it does do is when I hold the Xbox button, it will flash for a short amount of time but nothing else.

    I've tried changing the batteries a few times but it hasn't made a difference, I was originally using a rechargeable battery pack from amazon.

    I have also tried using a wired connection to my PC with no batteries but it still does not turn on.

    I only use my controller on PC with a Bluetooth adapter, no console.

    :)

    Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver not working

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    Really, depending on the type of repair, sometimes it's better to buy a new one than to fix it.

    I'm sorry that you couldn't solve your problem, but it happens. I wish you luck and take advantage of the promotions to buy a new controller.
