Xbox One Wireless Controller has no force feedback (rumbling) on Windows 8.1

True, the Link is broken.

The XBOX App in Windows10 should let us calibrate the Controller, including trigger rumble , rumble strengh, button mapping etc.

The Xbox app has much room for improvement- with the wireless xbox one Controller for windows 10, there is no way to check the battery status anywhere...

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.

Hey, Alfa!

I'm sorry to see any connection issues with your controller! Unfortunately, Bluetooth is not a supported feature with the new Xbox One controllers and Windows 8.1. You can see more on our

Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your Xbox One Wireless Controller support article. In order to use your controller via a wireless connection on your Windows 8.1 PC, you will need to purchase a Xbox
Wireless Adapter for Windows. This will be your best course of action to have a wireless experience between your controller and PC.

If you would like Bluetooth support to come to Windows 8.1 for the Xbox One Bluetooth controllers, feel encouraged to post up the suggestion on our
Feedback site.

Apologies for any frustrations this may cause! Please do let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Same problem for me. This night suddenly on Forza my controller stopped rumbling and force feedbacking. No way to restore it. Tried to reboot the system, changing batteries. The controller of my day one edition doesn't rumble anymore. Tried with other games
but no result. In forza settings toggled up and down the vibration setting, but once again, with no result. Is it a problem only with controller or a console one?

Bluetooth for Xbox controllers it's not available on windows 8.1, for that you need to get the Xbox wireless adapter
