Xbox One S controller not detected by Windows 10

I bought an Xbox One S controller for my PC which has the latest Windows 10 Version 1709 and build. Tried a previous build and still didn't work.

Windows briefly pops up "USB device malfunctioned" when it is plugged in with micro USB. The Xbox Accessories app is not detecting the controller. In Device Manager it shows up only as a generic "xinput compatible hid device" (not "Xbox Controller") - and
trying to manually update the drivers for this using drivers from Microsoft's update catalogue results in Windows telling me that the best drivers are already installed.

It is not an issue of cables or ports - my ports work and the cables (tested 6) are of the correct data transfer type.

Help appreciated,

Xbox One S Controller Stopped Connecting via Bluetooth

I have two Xbox One S controllers that I use with my PC running the latest update of Windows 10. One controller is a newer Recon Tech edition, and the controller in question is the standard black; both are the One S variant of controllers.

I've been using the black controller for about a year on my Xbox One S (which I no longer own) and on various PCs, and even on my Galaxy S8 (which I also no longer own). Fast forward to about March of this year, I get on my PC to play some games and turn
on my controller, but find that it is not connected. I go to connect it in the bluetooth settings, but the controller refuses to come up. I remove both of my controllers so that I could reconnect them. Only the Recon Tech controller is detected. The black
controller fails to show up.

I didn't do much about it and just used the controller by connecting it directly into my computer no problem, and hoped that maybe it was the Windows update at the time and that it'd be fixed somewhere along the future. However, as the controller currently
still fails to be detected by my computer, I feel I'm missing out on one of it's greatest features, which is complete bluetooth support with Windows 10.

TL;DR: my Xbox One S controller used to connect through bluetooth on my Windows 10 PC, but has recently failed to even be detected by my computer. The controller still works when wired in, and another Xbox One S controller I have can still connect through
bluetooth, so it must be a problem with the controller. What should I do?

 

How to connect Xbox one s controller to iPhone 6 plus

You can't, unfortunately.

The Xbox One S controller's bluetooth function was mainly designed for Windows 10 PC users, as Windows 10 (with the Anniversary update) has the necessary drivers to properly interface with the controller, most likely to coincide with the recent "Play Anywhere"
feature for Xbox One.

With that in mind, Microsoft did not release bluetooth controller drivers for other platforms, so there is no official support of the Xbox One S controller outside of Windows 10.
