    Xbox One Wireless Controller doesn't work anymore after Windows 10 Anniversary Update


    Hi,

    I have a problem using the Xbox One Wireless Controller + Wireless Adapter on my PC. Here is what happened so far... The controller worked for almost a year now without any problems.

    Some time ago I updated my Win10 and a couple of weeks after that I tried to play a game with my Xbox One Wireless Controller. However the Controller couldn't connect to the wireless adapter anymore. So I tried to update my drivers using the 'Xbox Accessories'
    App. It recognized the Controller and started the update via the wireless connection. Unfortunately the update process was interrupted and failed to finish successfully.

    I tried again, but the App can't recognize the controller anymore. At the moment I can connect the controller to the wireless adapter (the lights don't flash anymore and indicate a valid connection). The wireless adapter is recognized by windows and seems
    to work properly. However the controller is neither recognized by windows (can't find the controller in the device manager), nor by the 'Xbox Accessories' App. I also can't use it in the games - games simply don't seem to recognize the controller...

    I also tried to connect the controller via a normal USB cable (I used the charging cable from my cell phone). The controller is recognized as a 'Xbox Peripheral' in the device manager, but it's not not recognized as a controller in my games (I tried several
    games btw). While plugged in via USB the 'Xbox Accessories' App again doesn't recognize the controller, which is totally weird to me as I can see it in the device manager.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers for the wireless adapter and the controller several times, but it didn't solve my problem.

    I don't own a Xbox. So I can't check whether the problem lies within my Windows installation, or the controller.

    I don't know what to do anymore... I hope someone can help me out!

    :)

    Xbox One Elite controller not working anymore after (failed?) Xbox Accessories firmware upgrade

    Another victim here. Received my brand new Elite controller today, bricked after the update from xbox accessories app.

    It may have been windows 10 anniversary update drivers that caused issue. Anyone here is facing the same brick issue without the anniversary update on their windows 10?

    Connecting more than 1 controller to your device with Bluetooth may be possible, but performance can vary depending on your PC.

    Requires Windows 10 Anniversary Edition and Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth. 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
