    Xbox One Controller Won't Connect 90% of Time


    help! My Xbox One controller won't connect most of the time. I've tried every solution I can think of, including a hard reset, new batteries, firmware update, you name it. It will connect occasionally but with no apparent reason.

    It's out of warranty so Microsoft is no help. Anyone have any ideas! Any input is appreciated!

    :)

    Xbox one is refusing to do anything

    My Xbox one has black screened, but there is a twist. It won't connect to the controller either. I have tried power cycling 20 times and hard resetting my Xbox one. Help please?

    Two controller problems...

    The controller that came with the Xbox I've had for 2 years, and the newest one is a year old.

    So yeah. A 90 day warranty won't work for that.

    I'd also like to know what the warranty will be on the new controller. If its 90 days again, I won't be picking one up.

    Wireless Xbox 360 controller not connecting on latest build

    Well for one that's for the Xbox One, I'm talking about an Xbox 360 controller. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver countless times, it just won't connect. Something I've noticed is that when I press the sync button on the controller and then on
    the receiver, the controllers lights quickly stop flashing, indicating that it is in some way communicating with the receiver, but just won't connect. I've also tested both the controller and the receiver on a different computer and they are both perfectly
    functional meaning the blame definitely lies with Windows.

    Xbox 360 controller syncing issues

    I have 0 controllers connected to my Xbox because I can't connect any. It isn't just my one controller that won't connect, none of my 4 controllers will.

    XBox Elite Series 2 unplugged from PC using USB won't auto connect to Bluetooth

    That doesnt make any sense. Why would you design a bluetooth protocol on your own OS that didnt auto connect?
    It should auto connect. My controller does.

    The only time my Xbox One controller won't auto connect is when I've connected it to my gaming PC via USB to charge the battery. After this I have to re-sync the controller. But I only have to do this for the duration of the battery charge. My controller
    auto syncs first time from Windows boot up.

    The issue is that the controller has two wireless protocols. It does not use Bluetooth with the wireless gaming receiver, or when connected to an Xbox console.

    If your controller won't auto connect then there must be something wrong with your Bluetooth hardware on your PC. Have you tried a Bluetooth dongle to test this out?
