  1. Controllers wont connect to my pc.


    I really am not sure what else to do, other than turn to the community to see if anyone can help. I like to play games on controllers, I grew up playing on console, and even though I am on PC now, i still prefer controllers. I have had no issue using controllers on my PC before.

    One day my controllers just stopped working on my PC. I have tried updating the USB drivers, I have tried getting a new controller, nothing has worked. The controllers are receiving power, but are not being read by the computer. Can anyone help me out?

    Hello SubieTY,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Initially, we need to pair the device to show up in the list while connected through Bluetooth. Check with the below mentioned steps and see if it works.


    Hope it helps.
