    Xbox Wireless Controller Bluetooth function broken after firmware update


    There appears to be an issue with the latest firmware update to the Xbox controller, in which its ability to connect via Bluetooth has been broken.

    On Windows 10 PC, this error occurs after attempting to connect:

    And on smart phones:

    I have also discovered that this is not specific to my case, as a number of other users have encountered the same problem after updating their controller's firmware to version 3.1.1221.0 (https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/749006-xbox-one-controller-bluetooth-can-not-pair-aga...)

    It would appear that this issue affects most or all of users who updated their controller to 3.1.1221.0.

    I hope that this is forwarded to the right people, so the issue can be fixed in the next firmware update.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Xbox One Chatpad not working on Windows 10

    UPDATE: After forcing a firmware update even though the firmware is up to date, the Chatpad now works when connected over USB or the USB wireless controller dongle. It still does not work over Bluetooth, however.

    I have the same issue and it sucks because many others like you and I have it, so I made a giant tread so everyone can let their voice be heard at the same place. Simply comment to it to share your complain.
