    Xbox One controller stopped working on Windows 10 PC


    I've been streaming my Xbox One to my Windows 10 PC for awhile now with no issues. A few days ago, My Xbox One controller (connected via Micro-USB) stopped functioning when connected to my PC. The home light is lit but none of the buttons do anything. I
    went to the device manager and it is listed there. I uninstalled/reinstalled the device drivers with no luck. I even did that same thing when plugged into each and every USB port I have with the same result. Updated Windows and got same results. I'm not sure
    what else I can do. Windows does see the controller but it doesn't function. I also tested with my second Xbox One controller and got the same results. Anyone know how to resolve this?

    :)

    XBOX ONE CONTROLLER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING ON WINDOWS 10 PC

    This happened to me too. No one on Microsoft Chat has any idea what I'm talking about. It used to work, but as of yesterday, the controller just keeps turning off.

    XBOX ONE CONTROLLER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING ON WINDOWS 10 PC

    My XBox One Controller has always worked on my Windows 10 PC until today. I've tried two controller and several different USB cables. The controller does not light up. When I tried the Accessory App, it says to connect a controller. When I press the Xbox
    button, it blinks and then goes dark. Any suggestions?

    Have you checked to see if your computer is able to recognize that you're pressing buttons? You can check by going to HTML5 Gamepad Tester

    Does ANYONE at Xbox care about the useless wireless dongles they are selling?

    Hi,

    One possible reason as to why you're encountering issues with connecting the controller while streaming using the Xbox app on Windows 10 is due to an outdated device driver. Other reasons are corrupted profile data and compatibility issues with the controllers
    and your Windows 10 PC.

    We suggest checking if there are updates available for your Xbox controllers on Windows 10. Refer to

    How to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows     10 for the steps.

    Note: Make sure to restart your console and your Windows 10 PC after updating.

    Do get back to us with the results. We'd be glad to provide you additional assistance.
    No, you are part of the problem. Stop saying its a driver issue. The drivers are fine and all controllers work for other games apart from the xbox app. Please stop with this nonsense.

    Controller Xbox one on Windows 10

    Hello MildSuperset412,

    I need to ask, have you been able to follow up with "How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC" , and does the
    controller work when it is connected to your PC through the USB port? Also, if you haven't already done so, may I suggest double checking "How
    to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10    " .

    XBOX app on Windows 10 wont recognize XBOX wired controller for XBOX or Windows 10

    The Xbox One controller is a plug and play device. If the Windows 10 PC can't detect the controller, it may be due to Windows not automatically updating the controller's drivers. To update your Xbox
    One controller on Windows 10, kindly visit this
    link     and follow the steps provided.

    We also recommend checking if there are updates available for your Windows 10 device. See

    How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10     for the steps.

    Refer to this
    link     for additional information on how to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC.
