Xbox series gamepad constantly disconnecting from bluetooth. PC Windows 11

Gwinbleid · Oct 12, 2023

Hi. As a title says, Xbox series gamepad constantly disconnecting from bluetooth on PC Windows 11. Haven't seen this behaviour via cabel. Or maybe it restarts itself. After it reconnects to PC, game starts freezing on certain actions. Tried to update it via Xbox Accessories app, but it didn't help.

Also, noticed that it might have compatibility issues with some devices and maybe apps. Like when I connected iPhone via cable, it just disconnected and PC couldn't find gamepad until I disconnected iPhone.

And once, when PC was turned on for a whole day, and when I tried to play in the evening, it kept disconnecting or restarting itself every 1-2 minute. And when I tried to forget this device in Bluetooth settings, and add it again, PC was seeing gamepad but couldn't connect to it.

What can be possibly done to improve connectivity via Bluetooth?

Ever been banned for no reason before because I was. Enforcement won’t tell me what I did and won’t give me a second chance they aren’t will to see that I’m innocent.

If there is a sort of incompatibility, your issue will be present after a short period of time. If you want to connect your gamepad via Bluetooth, it's better to change your adapter. This is my advice.

And which ones are compatible? If Realtek doesn't

Hi Gwinbleid,
I'm Renato and I'm happy to help you.

It might be an incompatibility issue with your Bluetooth card. Reliability is dependent on the device's Bluetooth card, and experiences may vary.
You could try to connect your gamepad with an external Bluetooth adapter.
Anyway you can find more information in the following link

I'm actually using external Bluetooth adapter. And it worked fine with Dualshock gamepads. Thanks for the link, will try to see if there's something helpful
