Проблема подключения Xbox One WIreless Controler Bluetooth к Windows 10 (состояние сопряжено).

Hey Valeriy221,

Thank you for posting on the forums today! I'd be happy to help.

Sorry to hear about the issues being experienced. I would suggest to take a look at our

guide for fixing connection issues with the controller and the PC. At the bottom you can find steps if you have Windows 7.

The controller will need to be connected using a USB cable if you have Windows 7 I believe.

To connect wireless you need the
Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

I hope this information is helpful!

Hey LabererKamm6 -

Can you try plugging your adapter into a different USB port and see if that works please?

Miss Bijoux · Sep 15, 2016

Hey LabererKamm6 -

Thanks for trying. Can you try uninstalling the drivers and installing them fresh, please?

LabererKamm6 · Sep 15, 2016

i had already installed the new driver

Miss Bijoux · Sep 16, 2016

Gotcha. We'll still want to have you try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them though so give that a go.

I'm having the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate. I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers twice already. The controller is detected on the test page under Devices and Printers>Game Controller Settings but not in-game unless I use a direct wired connection.
On Windows 10 Pro, however, I don't have any issues with the wireless adapter. I spent a lot of money on these controllers and I am already thinking about returning them, because I have had a lot of hassles on Windows 7(with the drivers not downloading after
hours of searching and not working when it finally did download the drivers).

ScarletEwe6541 · Oct 31, 2018

Oh, and by the way I downloaded my drivers through troubleshooting the device under Devices and Printers(just in case you assume I downloaded them from somewhere else).

Thanks for your answer, would like it to wireless but I can handle it

Does all xbox one controller have an usb C port to be connected or some are wireless only ? (Sorry about all these questions but never had an xbox one controller between my hand)

And I found 2 link on microsoft website about wireless connexion here they are, but in french (i'm on phone can't find them in English) but here's the translation of interesting parts :

https://support.xbox.com/fr-BE/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-compatibility

"The wireless adaptator for windows 10 has been made to be used on windows 10 only. The old wireless adaptator xbox for windows works on device running windows 10, windows 8.1 and windows 7. "

That's where I heard about the "old adaptator"

And I just found this link :

https://support.xbox.com/fr-FR/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-one-wireless-controller-differences-on-windows-operating-systems

This is line 1, 2 and 3 of the table :

"Fonctionality : usb wired connexion : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1

Fonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1

Fonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows 10 : works on windows 10, doesn't work on windows 7."

So seems like there is 2 wireless adaptator and one of them seems to work on windows 7 but they don't precise if it's for xbow one or 360...sigh now you understand why i'm so lost, 3 versions of the controller, 2 different adaptator, many software update...I
know the best is to switch to W10 but I never had a single problem on w7 and would like to keep it as long as possible.

Thanks again !

Here’s a compatibility chart for the adapter you may have:

Das bezieht sich auf die Nutzung des Elite 2 Controllers mit Windows 7/8.1 Betriebssystemen.

Eine Liste der nicht unterstützten Funktionen für Android und Windows 7/8.1 findest Du auf dieser Seite:

https://support.xbox.com/xbox-on-wi...ller-differences-on-windows-operating-systems

Beispielsweise kannst Du über den Xbox Wireless Adapter für Windows 10 oder via Bluetooth den Controller drahtlos mit Windows 10 Verbinden. Bei Windows 7/8.1 wird diese Art der drahtlosen Verbindung "nicht unterstützt".

Ebenso wird angeschlossenes Controllerzubehör (z.B. das Chatpad) nicht über eine Bluetooth Verbindung unterstützt. Über USB oder Xbox Wireless Adapter jedoch schon.

Über den Wireless Adapter und USB Verbindung kannst Du den Game Sound an den Controller und ein dort angeschlossenes Headset übertragen. Über Bluetooth kannst Du nur Sprach Chat an das Controller Headset bekommen. Und unter Windows 7/8.1 geht generell kein
Game Sound über den Controller.

[Translation]

The "not supported" functions are in regards to Windows 7/8.1 and Android.

A list of what is or is not supported is on this website:

https://support.xbox.com/xbox-on-wi...ller-differences-on-windows-operating-systems

For example, you can connect the Elite 2 Controller wireless via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 only on Windows 10. For Windows 7/8.1 that type of wireless connection is not supported.

Additionally connected controller accessories (e.g. the Chatpad) are not supported via Bluetooth. But are supported via Xbox Wireless Adapter.

You can listen to game sound through a headset connected to the controller only via USB or Xbox Wireless Adapter. But via Bluetooth only voice chat is supported. And on Windows 7/8.1 game sound isn't possible at all through the controller.

Hallo MI565683,

sorry to hear but I think you bought the false Xbox Wireless Adapter. Please read this

"Kompatibilität des Xbox Wireless Adapters für Windows"

So bring it back to the store and try to catch the old Adapter or because of windows 7 (Windows 7
Support End 14. January 2020)
You maybe better upgrade to Windows 10 or I have heard there are some APPS outside - translating the controller to steam.

Hope this help
