    Xbox One controller won't automatically reconnect to USB dongle after using wired connection.


    My Xbox One controller has to be resynced with the dongle every time I use the play and charge kit,

    any idea on how to fix this issue?

    I'm currently using Windows 7,

    besides this small issue,

    the controller is working fine on both wired and wireless connection,

    but it's getting kinda annoying having to resync every time I'm charging my controller.

    :)

    Xbox One Wireless Controller Won't Stay Connected In Windows 10

    I'm having a problem with the Xbox One Wireless Controller not staying connected in Windows 10.

    I'm using one of the newer controllers with the stereo input along with the USB wireless adapter dongle.

    Whether after batteries run out, after it disconnects from being idle, or one if it's random disconnects, it refuses to connect again. Pressing and holding the Xbox button causes it to connect for one second then disconnect. It just won't stay connected.
    Re-sycning with the dongle will not connect it. Connected with a USB cable, then unplugging will not keep it connected. The only way to use the controller is to restart the computer. Which means I'm restarting my computer multiple times a day.

    I've updated the controller firmware and have uninstalled and reinstalled the drive for the dongle. Neither have helped.

    Xbox One controller broken by Windows Anniversary Update

    After the Anniversary Update, both my wireless dongle and Xbox One controller (both OEM) appear to be broken.

    The dongle doesn't show up in Device manager, despite switching to different USB ports.

    The gamepad now won't stay turned on, even connected via USB. Isn't detected in the "Xbox Accessories" app.

    Xbox One controller won't automatically reconnect to USB dongle after using wired connection.

    Hi there Malmern,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with keeping the controller synced to your PC.

    I recommend taking a look at the following article:
    How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC    .

    • Bluetooth requires a PC running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. See
      Windows Update: FAQ       to learn how to get the latest Windows update.
    • For best performance, update your controller. See
      How to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10      .
    • Bluetooth is supported on PCs, tablets, and laptops. It is not supported on mobile devices.
    • Bluetooth does not support any attachments, such as headsets, chatpads, or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.
    • We recommend connecting only one controller at a time using Bluetooth.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for replying.

    It's kinda hard to update my controller,

    seeing as I'm using Windows 7, not Windows 10,

    and I've not any plans to upgrade to Windows 10 any time soon.

    I'm not using Bluetooth built into my computer,

    I'm using the dongle; Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows (HK9-00003)

    Regards

    I think the controller ia designed this way only so as to connect only to one system. When you use it wired its settings are overwritten and it needs to be resynched to connect to a wireless adapter. It works same for Xbox.

    Xbox One controller won't automatically reconnect to USB dongle after using wired connection.

    So, I'm on Windows 10 on a PC, and my controller was updated today, and I have the same issue (since forever): if I connect the controller via cable (to, y'know, charge it) it no longer connects. Control panel thinks it's paired, but I have to remove the
    pairing and pair again. I'm connecting with Bluetooth, and even tried two different BT dongles.
