    same issues for me no fix yet, i doubt microsoft is even aware of the issue nor bother to do something about it, the day adapter cost so much yet its semi broken after creator updates... its just horrible! so far only fix for me is unplug and replug the
    adapter when it wont sync after reboot

    Old Post, same issue. I have to unplug and replug in my adapter almost every reboot. Is MS really not aware of this? Is there truely no work around?

    The 360 controller adapter is cheaper and works reliably 100% of the time. I just don't understand why this hasn't been addressed.

    I guess another option to stop pc from forgetting is maybe by keeping xbox adaptor on at all times. To do this go to device manager > network adaptor > properties > power management > untick allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

    I'm giving it a go and seems to do the trick however the xbox adaptor stays on even after switching off your pc. not sure if this has any negative impacts on the xbox adaptor. highly doubt it.

    Thanks for the feedback.. A little more detail:

    My wireless adapter is always attached to my PC. (I don't have an XboxOne). It's after a power cycle where the sync is completely lost. I have to unplug and reinsert the adapter for it to work, so it seems as if the PC "forgot" the adapter was even attached
    after a power cycle.

    So, considering I always have the adapter attached to my PC, and that I only use my controller on my PC, the normal behavior should be:

    1) I turn on my PC and it gets to the Windows 10 desktop

    2) Turn on the controller

    3) The controller should automatically sync with the adapter.

    But unfortunately that doesn't happen...

    Well DuckierTerror41 you're not alone, I've already contacted support about this issue but the support (The Netherlands) doesn't seem to have the hardware and they're claiming to have it before they do. But anyways, I've got the same issue and also got some
    extra issue regarding keeping the connection alive. I've tried a lot of things but i feel like I've just purchased 120 euro's worth of junk. I've manged to record the issue i'm having.

    cy43rguru,

    I've connected it to the keyboard because it has an decent 5V output and works just as well as the ports on the motherboard. Changing ports doesn't help. The thing is, it PAIRS, but within a decent amount of time will LOSE the connection, even though it's
    paired. Sometimes i can play for 30 minutes and it loses connection, other days i can't even connect the controller because they can't seem to pair up. The thing is, i don't have a lot of noise on the 2.4Ghz range (i'm busy building a new network so i've checked
    that). You provide me with exactly 0 controls over the controller and/or usb stick. The "Xbox Accessories" app performed an firmware update for me (magically) but that also didn't seem to help. The way you provide the tools for the user is absolutely ridiculous,
    from the support pages to getting the Xbox app from the appstore (not a single .exe file). I've paid 120,- euro's for a controller that doesn't even function properly. I want this thing sorted ASAP.
