  1. Surface laptop 3 won't detect Xbox One controller


    Hey, I recently bought a surface laptop 3. I wasn't planning to play games on it but I found my old Xbox One controller and said why not.
    It's the first controller they released, so I have to connect it using a micro USB cable. I had a couple of cables that came with speakers and stuff, those didn't work, apparently some micro USB cables only charged. So today I went to the store and bought a new micro USB cable that specifically said USB 2.0 type B and although it doesn't say "data-sync", on the back of the box they suggest to use it to pair smartphones/tablets with PC/Laptops/TV's. So I think I got the data sync one.
    When I connect it to the laptop and turn the controller on, it still doesn't recognize it. I looked up online for possible solutions and tried to update the drivers, etc... Nothing seems to work.

    Do you have any idea of what could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    :)

  2. Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

    Hi Stephan,

    There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
    of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

    • Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
    • Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
    • Have you tried to update the controller?
    • Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this
