    Xbox one controller bluetooth connection asks PIN but refuses to work win 10


    I bought Xbox controller but bluetooth connection with PC asks for PIN code that never works. I have tried 0000 and 1234 and few others. "Add device" and "add bluetooth device" actions only answer "That didn't work" or "Your game controller quit waiting. Try adding it again". Tried these steps

    Tabletop pc with Windows 10, newest updates installed.

    Bluetooth 2.0 dongle on usb port latest drivers

    Xbox one controller updated via usb, bought 2020 spring.

    Xbox accessories app installed


    All devices have been shut down and restarted many times.


    Some forum suggested using bluetooth 4.0 dongle or Xbox dongle, but the package or official pages do not tell that. If that is true and bluetooth device must have version 4.0, why this essential information is not told to customer before buying product? Playing with usb cord is not so bad, but I bought awireless controller and to use it wirelessly, do I really have to buy another 20€ device?

    :)

    • Press the Xbox button again to power it back on.
