Xbox- PC streaming controller failing

PJSkittles · Aug 23, 2016

So for some reason after a random amount of time, my controller will stop functioning, usually what ever my last movement with the stick is stuck in game (spinning in a circle, running in a straight line, ect). Unplugging and re-plugging in the controller
doesn't work, restarting the stream or app doesn't work. If I move over to the actual console and try to manipulate the controller, it still doesn't work. I gotta restart my whole system....which is unfortunate if I'm in a multiplayer match or a few hours
into an RPG without a recent save.

Help!

how do i hook up my xbox one to my hp monitor how do i use my controller instead of my mouse and key

Hi there SirSXalot1,

To get your Xbox One to play on your PC you will want to follow the steps in our

streaming to Windows 10 guide. To use your Xbox One controller on your PC you will want to follow the steps in our

Xbox One wireless controller to Windows PC guide.

Thank you and have a great week!

Control Xbox One freezes on Streaming - Windows 10

I have found a workaround for this problem. If you can, simply don't connect the controller to your PC, let it connected to the Xbox One instead. When you start streaming, simply ignore the warning saying that no controller is being connected to your PC.
So, your input will be directly managed by the Xbox, not your PC. The problem seems to originate from the fact that The Division server is monitoring controller input in some way. and the extra latency put in from streaming the input from your PC to the Xbox
then to Division's servers causes the glitch. Though, for my workaround to be applicable to you, your PC must be in controller range from your Xbox. Hope this helps.

Hey TheMadGiggler,

That is unfortunate. Does it work with other controllers? Follow the steps here:

support.xbox.com/.../wireless-controller-disconnects

In particular, see if there could be interference from something else. It may be the controller hardware is slowly wearing out, but give these steps a try.

Thanks for using the Xbox app.

Both are wired, so wireless isnt an issue, even if I plug a controller directly into the xb1 via USB, it wont work.

Okay thank you very much, I have one small question when it comes to streaming. If i were to stream an Xbox 360 game from an Xbox One to my Windows PC, would I be able to control that streamed game with my mouse and keyboard as opposed to a controller while
on my Windows PC playing the streamed game?

No, only controller. You can't use mouse and keyboard in this fashion for any games over xbox one streaming.
