  1. Unable to connect Xbox One controller to computer


    I find it really challenging to connect my Xbox One controller to the computer using Bluetooth. But I didn’t have any difficulties when it was connecting using the USB. I purchased a csr 4.0 usb bluetooth adapter, installed the driver. However I cannot find an option to turn Bluetooth on/off. When I tried to find devices under the “xbox one controller etc” tab, there were nothing comes up. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and restart the PC, then I was able to connect my controller. The Xbox light stopped flashing on the controller but the controller isn’t working.

    :)

    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.

    Xbox One Controller Wired Connection Registers as Generic Controller

    Hi Trey,

    Using a micro-USB cable is one way on how you can connect your Xbox One Controller to a Windows 10 PC. Once connected, it will install the most current drivers needed for your controller. Regarding your concern, have you tried using another micro-USB
    cable? If not, we suggest that you uninstall first the current driver for your Xbox One Controller on your computer, restart, and then connect the controller using another USB cable.
    There's a possibility that it affects the computer to get the correct driver for your controller.

    If your Xbox One Controller still treated as the generic controller, we recommend that you manually install the driver by performing the following steps:

    • Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager from the list.
    • Once Device Manager opens, locate and right-click Xbox One Controller.
    • From the menu choose Update Driver Software.
    • Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
    • Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
    • Locate Microsoft Xbox One Controller on the list and click
      Next
      to install it. If you can’t locate Microsoft Xbox One Controller driver, you might have to uncheck
      Show compatible hardware option.

    Let us know if that works for you.

    Hi MoDaBro,

    An outdated Xbox One controller is one of the possible reasons why your controller is unable to connect to your Xbox One without battery on it. To help you resolve this concern, I need to collect more information. Kindly answer the questions below:

    • Have you tried connecting a different controller using the same USB cable?
