  1. Nintendo Switch Joycons suddenly stop working


    My two Nintendo Switch controllers would pair and connect on my PC however the Joycons remain in their "pairing mode" evident by the lights still going back and forth. No inputs are detected by any program such as Gamepad Tester, Steam, Parsec and Yuzu. I have tried uninstalling the drivers, removing devices and re pairing and reinstalling drivers for the Bluetooth Dongle. The issue seems to be with the system and the Joycons as I can pair them to my phone and laptop and their inputs are detected with no issue. Please help

    :)

    Nintendo Switch Pro Controller not being detected by Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that when you connect the Nintendo Switch Pro controller to the computer, it is not being detected, we will look into this for you.



    However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:



    • Does the Nintendo Switch Pro controller gets detected in any other computer?
    • Were you able to use the Nintendo Switch Pro controller earlier on your current computer?
    • Is any other USB Device detected on your computer?
    • Do you see any Unknown device or a yellow yield sign on any device in Device Manager?
    • May I know the troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?


    To check for unknown devices, you can press Windows key + X, and select
    Device Manager.



    If you see any Unknown device or a device with yellow yield, right click on the device and select
    Update Driver.



    However, we would also suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Error: “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive.
    except Method 1 and 2 and check if that helps in resolving the issue.



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Nintendo isn't a Microsoft product. I'd suggest that you search (Bing, Google, another search engine) for terms liks

    Nintendo switch card

    Nintendo help

    nintento support

    Nintendo community.

    Watch out for sites that try to sell you an unneeded product or service in those search results.
