Xbox wireless adaptor for Window 10 is rubbish

JOUT · Apr 29, 2017

By the time my game loads the controller loses sync to the Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows. The Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows has a solid light on it. When I hold the sync button on the Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows it never blinks. Xbox
wireless adaptor for Windows does not work. Next I unplug the Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows and plug it back in, then the light never turns on again. More junk, rubbish, trash made by Microsoft.

Hey there, BetaMaxPlayer!

I'm sorry to see any issues with a wireless controller adapter! We have a couple different ones you can be talking about. Do you have an

Xbox One adapter or an
Xbox 360 adapter? The troubleshooting for these can be very different, and I'd like to make sure I'm not giving you steps that aren't related to your issue. Let me know so we can get to the bottom of this!

I look forward to working with you.

Hi,

I'm afraid the Xbox One Wireless Adaptor for PC is only compatible with Windows 10, it doesn't work with Windows 7.

Hi, johnnyboy111111,

1. Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

2. It may be necessary to locate drivers for the adaptor in Microsoft Catalog. Link is found in this 2016 tutorial.

Hi NOON J. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Where did you get the drivers from? The drivers for the Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows are embedded within the Windows 10/11 operating system, if you downloaded them from somewhere they were possibly illegitimate or unofficial drivers. I'd recommend uninstalling those drivers immediately.

Try the following solutions:

- Make sure Windows is up to date by going to Windows Update on your device and checking for available updates.

- Reboot your device and try again.

- Try another USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

- Try reinstalling the drivers in case they have partially installed. To do so, you need to uninstall the drivers. Follow these steps to complete this process:

Go to Device Manager. Locate Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows in the Network adapters section.

Select Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows to bring up the Properties window.

Select the Driver tab. On the Driver tab, select Uninstall or Uninstall Device (depending on your version of Windows).

On the confirmation window, check the Delete the driver software for this device box.

Unplug the Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows and reboot your Windows device. Once the device is back on, plug in the adaptor.

If the Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows still does not install, follow all of the above steps thoroughly one more time

If this doesn't work, your adaptor might need to be replaced. It comes with a 90-day warranty, contact the seller to claim this warranty. If it's past the warranty all I can advise is buying a new adapter.

Thanks,
Kyle
