  1. Xbox one wireless adapter not syncing with wireless controller when it was before. Windows 10


    I'm really getting frustrated this adapter. I have two of them mind you as I recently purchased and Oculus Rift, but this issue has been bothering me for long before. I installed the wireless adapter and it syncs right up to the controller and it worked
    flawlessly with all my games. A few months later this is what starts to happen.

    When starting windows 10, the controller will sync to the adapter and seem to work. But if the controller every cuts off or goes idle, it will not be able to reconnect to the adapter unless I restart the computer again. I'll hit the sync button on the adapter
    and on the controller. They will sync, and then in no longer then 10 seconds the controller will will just turn off.

    I've tried rolling back drivers, uninstalling, reinstalling. I've tried both adapters, several controllers that have no trouble syncing with my Xbox one S so this is obviously and issue with the adapter. I even did a clean install of windows a few weeks
    back, and the adapter seemed to work fine, only for the issue to start again a few days ago. It's not a line of sight issue as my USB ports are on the top of the case of my desktop which sets on top of a desk not more then a foot and a half from where the
    controller is used.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Can the X Box One Wireless Controller with Bluetooth also be used with the X Box One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10?

    Hi Beau,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums, I'd be happy to answer that.

    The Xbox One Wireless controller with Bluetooth can be connected to a Windows 10 PC with a USB cable, Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, so yes, it can be connected via the adapter. The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 is not
    compatible with an Xbox 360 controller and will need the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. I'll provide the support articles with this information:


    I hope this helps!

    Wireless Adapter for Windows and Xbox

    I think the Windows wireless adapter would require the controller to be synced with the adapter before it will work, which means the sync data to the console would be changed to the computer, until you resync the console with the controller.

    Xbox Adapter for Windows not connecting

    Hi PC,

    Thanks for updating us with your reply! The smallish button that is on the front of the controller is the "bind" or "sync" button that is used to wirelessly connect the controller to your console or, in this case, your PC via the wireless adapter. You may
    find the information contained in the following support articles helpful in troubleshooting any syncing issues you've been experiencing:

    How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC

    Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

    In regard to your other issue about one adapter working and the other giving you trouble, you may benefit from

    performing a clean boot to your Windows 10 PC
    and then
    running the app troubleshooter on your Xbox Accessories app
    . This has a tendency to cure a few ills with things. You'll also want to ensure that your controller is updated and this may be done in the Xbox Accessories app while the controller is connected
    to the PC on a wired connection (cannot be done via Bluetooth or other wireless connection). How to update your Xbox
