    Xbox Wireless Adapter works on one Windows 10 PC but not the other?


    My Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows works on my Win 10 laptop but not my Win 10 desktop. On the desktop, the Xbox One controller and adapter both flash and if I try using the sync button never are able to connect. But it connects fine on the laptop. Is
    there any troubleshooting advice to get the adapter to connect to my desktop?

    I have tried:

    • Using a different USB port on my desktop.
    • Deactivating/re-activating the adapter in Device Manager.
    • Uninstalling/re-installing the adapter in Device Manager (did not delete driver).
    • Uninstalling the adapter and deleting the driver, re-installing and restarting the machine.

    The adapter used to work a few months ago on my desktop but hasn't worked since I recently tried to get it working again.

    :)

    Can the X Box One Wireless Controller with Bluetooth also be used with the X Box One Wireless Adapter for Windows 10?

    Hi Beau,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums, I'd be happy to answer that.

    The Xbox One Wireless controller with Bluetooth can be connected to a Windows 10 PC with a USB cable, Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, so yes, it can be connected via the adapter. The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 is not
    compatible with an Xbox 360 controller and will need the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. I'll provide the support articles with this information:


    I hope this helps!

    Xbox Adapter for Windows not connecting

    Hi PC,

    Thanks for updating us with your reply! The smallish button that is on the front of the controller is the "bind" or "sync" button that is used to wirelessly connect the controller to your console or, in this case, your PC via the wireless adapter. You may
    find the information contained in the following support articles helpful in troubleshooting any syncing issues you've been experiencing:

    How to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC

    Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

    Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

    In regard to your other issue about one adapter working and the other giving you trouble, you may benefit from

    performing a clean boot to your Windows 10 PC     and then
    running the app troubleshooter on your Xbox Accessories app    . This has a tendency to cure a few ills with things. You'll also want to ensure that your controller is updated and this may be done in the Xbox Accessories app while the controller is connected
    to the PC on a wired connection (cannot be done via Bluetooth or other wireless connection). How to update your Xbox
    One Controller on Windows 10

    Give the troubleshooting a try and please let us know the results.

    I hope that this helps you out!

    Xbox wireless controller doesn't vibrate in bluetooth mode

    Hi annix,

    The OP posted this thread under the "Gaming on Windows PC/PC Gaming" category of the Xbox forums. Also contrary to popular belief, the Xbox One console does not support Bluetooth wireless technology. The controllers connect to the console using a proprietary
    wireless technology unique to the console and the
    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10    . Bluetooth connectivity is reserved for Windows 10 only and available on current production of Xbox One wireless controllers.

    I hope that clears things up.

    我的xbox无线适配器无法和xbox one手柄连接 I can't connect the xbox one wireless controller with the wireless adapter

    Hello ziyiJiang,

    Are you using Windows 10? If you are, Windows 10 should recognise the wireless adapter directly. Is the adapter the original one from Microsoft or a third party one?

    In case is the official one, follow the instructions described in this url : https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/connect-xbox-wireless-controller-to-pc

    In case it doesn't work, maybe the adapter is malfunctioning. You should take it to the shop and get it changed for a working one.
