    XBOX ONE controller will not work on Windows 10 PC


    I'm trying to play a game on my Windows 10 computer with my XBOX ONE controller. I plug the USB cable into my PC, plug in my controller and the home button flashes but doesn't turn on.

    What I have tried:

    -Restarted the computer (both with and without the cable plugged in prior)

    -Tried to find drivers for my controller (however it needs the controller to be recognized but won't even connect in the first place)

    -Did extensive research on this issue

    -Tried to find the NVIDIA Wireless Controller Service to disable (but conveniently cannot be found on my computer and NVIDIA has done nothing about this known issue)

    (P.S. I am EXTREMELY ticked as this is my ONE day off and I spend the entire day finding a way to fix a VERY well known issue, so I'm understandably upset)

    I have tried the controller on another computer and it worked perfectly find. I tried another controller on this computer and still had the same issue. I would sincerely appreciate any help on this manner, as I am so sick and tired of having to deal with either
    5 hour updates, bugs, glitches or issues that prevent me from playing games, both on XBOX, Steam, Origin and Xbox 360.

    Would someone be able to help me out please?

    (because I don't know how to change this to answered as it won't show an option I'll put this here)

    I have a pair of really good quality Logitech headphones that come with a USB cable very similar to the official XBOX cable that I have. I decided to use this, as I had tried everything else, and surprisingly it worked! The Xbox USB charges and works just fine
    on the console, however this Logitech headphone USB makes the XBOX controller work with the PC.

    How odd.

    :)

    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.

    Problem with my controler Xbox one Bluetooth

    Hello Cerfvoyage4344,

    If you haven't already done so, may I suggest following up with "Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your
    Xbox One Wireless Controller    " . If you continue to have a problem connecting via Bluetooth, I would be curios if the controller works with your PC using the USB port, "How
    to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC    " . Let us know if this helps.
