Xbox Wireless Adapter wont sync after reboot or long duration without sync with gamepad

hwoarang45 · Oct 23, 2017

I have the latest windows 10 64bit ,. and just reset and updated to latest patch, the problem with Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows on windows anniversary update has resurface on the latest creator update and those after it.

Problems = after reboot pc, or a long duration say 24 hours of no playing or syncing my xbox one controller, it will not sync again, even i press the button to resync.

Only temp solutions = plug in usb cable to play or unplug the Xbox Wireless Adapter and replug it in, which instantly sync the pad back.

Im already on latest Xbox Wireless Adapter drivers and latest windows 10 patch. please help!!

:)

Xbox One controller on Win 10 Forgets the Xbox Adapter for Windows

Way old post, but this is still a problem for me. After shutting down my PC, I have to disconnect the adapter, and re-sync.

Did anyone find a fix?

Xbox One Wireless Adapter only works after USB reconnect on Win10

hi guys, just wanna share my findings,

i notice the bug or issues occurs when u pair your pad with the wireless adapter then either shut down your pc or rebooted while your game pad is still paired and power on.

so the next reboot your adapter will have either two problems,

1. Disconnect halfway during gameplay then unpairable

2.Adapter failed to detect by windows

Temp solution

Remove your adapter, reboot windows,

plug it back, pair your gamepad . Once pair, manually turn off the pad by holding the HOME button , then reboot.

And it should pair perfectly on next reboot when u power on your gamepad, but REMEMBER !!

NEVER TURN OFF YOUR PC WITH THE GAMEPAD PAIRED AND POWER ON, TURN OFF THE PAD MANUALLY before power off your pc or reboot

I been playing with mine for a week , no issue so far. Good luck , hope microsoft fix this soon.

xbox adapter driver = latest

xbox gamepad firmware = latest

windows = 64bit anniversary patch + latest updates

Hi

i think what your saying is that the sync button is broken and you want to sync a wireless headset?

if so then yes its possible to buy a xbox wireless adapter and use that to sync the new headset, instructions on how to do that will be with the adapter. If your going to purchase an adapter look at the xbox shop first as im not sure if they do them, failing
that i would go for a named brand as you will want the quality from it.

i hope this helps

I have the same problem... Win 10 x64

Bought the adapter just today... First didn't got recognized (only XBOX ACC was shown under device manager). after manually download the driver from the ms site (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=xbox%20adapter - thx to http://mattpilz.com/fix-for-xbox-one-wireless-adapter-not-working-in-windows-10-xbox-acc-driver/),
it was available under Network adapters (Xbox Wireless Adapter). After a system reboot, the device got the same message as BlackchiefPrime already said. (operation failed, the requested operation was unsuccessful). No light or any sound when plug in the adapter
resp. press the sync button...
