    Xbox One Wireless Controller Won't Stay Connected In Windows 10


    I'm having a problem with the Xbox One Wireless Controller not staying connected in Windows 10.

    I'm using one of the newer controllers with the stereo input along with the USB wireless adapter dongle.

    Whether after batteries run out, after it disconnects from being idle, or one if it's random disconnects, it refuses to connect again. Pressing and holding the Xbox button causes it to connect for one second then disconnect. It just won't stay connected.
    Re-sycning with the dongle will not connect it. Connected with a USB cable, then unplugging will not keep it connected. The only way to use the controller is to restart the computer. Which means I'm restarting my computer multiple times a day.

    I've updated the controller firmware and have uninstalled and reinstalled the drive for the dongle. Neither have helped.

    :)

    Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 disconnects after 7 seconds

    I purchased an Xbox One Elite Controller and Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 and can't get them to stay connected. They will sync up fine but will not stay connected for more than 5-7 seconds at a time. The light on the wireless adapter will turn
    off after being connected for a short time, and then a few seconds later will pair up again. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and my Xbox One controller works fine when plugged in via USB. Please help as this is incredibly frustrating. PC is running Windows
    10, of course.

    No Battery Status - Windwos 10 - Xbox One Wireless Controller

    Hi,

    im using the newly released xbox one wireless adapter for Windows 10 which is connected to the xbox one Controller with Play and Charge battery. Unfortunately neither the XBOX App nor Windows 10 shows me the battery Status of the Controller.

    Please consider this in a future update for Windows 10 / Xbox app.

    Thank you.

    sync button broken on my controller, can i still connect wirelessly?

    Hello!

    Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're trying to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows 10 PC but the sync button on the console is broken is that correct? If that's the case you can set up
    the controller with a USB cable and us it Wired. To continue wirelessly you could get an Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Window 10 and then connect the controller with the USB and see if it stays synced after you unplug it. Asides from that replacing
    the controller would most likely be your best bet. You can always sync the controller to an Xbox One Console also by using a USB and then unplugging it.

    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!

    Hello SARAHkerrigan,

    Thank you for your post. I understand you are looking to connect a controller to your Windows 10 PC. The first version of the Xbox One wireless controller is not Bluetooth compatible which may explain the difficulty you are experiencing connecting it to
    your Windows 10 PC. Fore more information, please visit this page:

    I hope this helps.
