    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Xbox Controller not showing or lighting up on pc


    Purchases an Xbox Wireless Adapter for xbox series s controller. Controller work great but the adapter refuses to light up or show up on device manager. It literally just randomly stopped working and will not even work on the xbox now or the pc.

    Xbox controller not 'usable' on my PC.

    Good thought, but this doesn't address the controller not appearing under 'Bluetooth & devices'.

    One more detail, when I connect the controller wirelessly to the pc via the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Press the sync button, light blinks rapidly. On PC click 'add xbox controller via wireless adapter. The controller light immediately goes solid, but the PC never indicates it found a device, it just keeps searching indefinitely.

    Xbox Wireless Adapter

    Hi,

    If you’re using the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10:

    1. Turn on your PC and sign in.
    2. Plug the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows into your PC. For more info, see
      Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
    3. Turn on your controller by pressing the
      Xboxbutton. When you turn on the controller, the
      Xbox button will start flashing.
    4. Press and hold the
      Pair button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter. A small light will flash for several seconds.
    5. Press and hold the
      Pairbutton on the top of the controller (the raised button). The
      Xbox button on the controller will flash more rapidly – this means your controller is searching for the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
      When connected, the Xbox button on the controller will stay lit.

    Xbox one S controller disconnecting

    have the exact same problem but with my PC. The controller and the xbox wireless adapter are both connected with the steady light but the controller has the status not connected on the PC.

    Whats wrong and the controller worked fine just a couple of hours ago?
