    XBox One Controller on Windows 10 | Screen flashes and computer crashes when plugging in


    When I plug my Xbox One controller into my SP4, the screen flashes like crazy and then it freezes up. I use the Xbox cord for the controller and I have updated the drivers on the controller through my Xbox One. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I
    have also tried with a different computer and get the same result.

    Thanks!



    :)

  2. Xbox One Controller - doesn't update via USB cable on Windows 10

    This page has the detail on how to update your controller on Windows 10: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox.../how-to-update-xbox-one-controller-windows-10

    You shouldn't need to click the connect button on the controller, just plugging it in via USB should be enough to recognize it by the computer and be able to update through the Accessories app.

    Xbox One controller is not working

    My computer running Windows 10 doesn’t recognize Xbox One controller. I plugged in an Xbox controller to the USB slot but I saw it vibrating, the lights flashing but it didn’t work. I did some troubleshooting such as running
    the device troubleshooter, trying to use another USB slot. I also cannot see the controller in the device manager.

    It is 1697 model.

    Format the USB stick in NTFS. Just plug the USB stick in the computer and Windows Open the "my computer". Locate the Flash drive inside the "my computer" and click with the right mouse button on the Flash drive, choose format and confirm that in "file system"
    it says NTFS. If you are FAT or FAT 32 file system, change to NTFS.

    Download the file www.xbox.com/.../restorefactorydefaults

    Open the file and just copy the Folder called "$SystemUpdate" to the pendrive

    In your console:

    With the console turned off, plug the pendrive in your console

    Xbox Controller Bluetooth Stopped Working on Windows 10

    The controller cannot pair with any computer, in fact it is not even visible on any computer. As I said, the Xbox button on the controller flashes slowly when I press and hold the button but as soon as I let go it switches off entirely. Pressing and holding
    the Xbox button for a slow flash and then simultaneously pressing the sync button, which would usually result in a fast flash, does not result in a fast flash, it just keeps flashing slowly. When I plug the device into an external power source, the Xbox button
    slashes slowly but the sync button still does not cause it to flash more quickly and it is not visible to any device. Thus I am quite sure that it is not a problem with the computer but with the controller.
