    Xbox series 2 / Xbox accessories app action functionality missing (PC)


    When I got the elite series 2 controller, I was able to use the actions tab to control media and whatnot by assigning buttons to it on my PC.

    As of now, all those options are gone, as well as the 'action' / 'button' tabs, there's just blank space there.

    How can I fix this?? I haven't been able to find anyone else with this issue, this is preventing me from utilizing a lot of the shift key functionality of it.

    I've updated everything, updated the controller, reinstalled the xbox accessories app, etc. No change.

    Below is a time linked spot in this youtube video in the xbox accessories app remapping page where it shows the actions tab. I used to see it, now both tabs are just...nonexistent.

    Are you saying that an update removed controller functionality, and that this IS NOT A BUG. It was intentional to BAIT AND SWITCH YOUR CUSTOMERS?

    IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

    Hi Tj_123123! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    The functions you mentioned are only available on Xbox consoles, the current windows app doesn't support the actions on the controller

    They 100% had that functionality when I started to use it, pretty dumb now that I can't access it.
    To top it off, on the xbox accessories app, if you hit the right arrow on your keyboard, it'll go to the 2nd tab (essentially where the actions tab should be) it's just blank, but you can use up and down arrows. When you hit enter to select the ghost selections, it just gets reverted back to default.

    The ghostlike action menu is shown below! Can we get the proper menu back please...

    Question about Xbox Elite 2 and wireless adapters on PC

    Hi Asryan2a,

    What do you mean by changing the actions? By remapping the buttons you change what action they do in game. You can also remap the included paddles from the default ABXY face buttons. This is all done through the Xbox Accessories App which you can download
    from the Microsoft Store and you have the May 2019 update (ver 1903). It is recommended to configure the controller on the PC using the included micro USB cable.

    Check out this support article for more information: Use the Xbox Accessories app to customize your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller
    Series 2 


    I hope this helps!
