Hi,



It's possible that you're not able to pair your controller due to incompatibility with the Bluetooth adapter. We'd like to learn more about your concern so we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions
for you:

• 
  Just to confirm, did your Bluetooth adapter come with the controller when you bought it?
  
• 
  Have you checked the manufacturer's website for additional software needed to use the controller in Windows 10, since this controller is specifically built for a game console?
  
• 
  Were you able to install the Bluetooth drivers through the CD without any problems?
  
• 
  Are you able to connect other Bluetooth devices to your computer through the Bluetooth adapter?
  
• 
  Whenever you try to pair the controller, do you get an error message? If yes, please post a screenshot.
  
• 
  What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
  

 

Bluetooth Pairing - Xbox One Elite Controller

Hi,

I've got a new Alienware desktop running Win 10 Home x64. Bluetooth appears to be working, but I'm not getting the Xbox One Elite Controller in the list of available devices when I attempt the pairing. The light on the controller flashes normally when I
press the pairing button, but on the PC, I'm only getting four or five generic 'unknown' devices. I've tried a few, but none will connect.

To troubleshoot, I unplugged the power from the Xbox, just to make sure there wasn't a pairing conflict between the game console and Windows. Doesn't help. I've also tried pairing in the new Win 10 interface, as well as through NCPA.cpl.

When I get home, I'm going to try pairing the controller with another computer, but I'm also interested in any suggestions this community can provide.

Regards,

Brad
