Windows 10: Wii Remote Not connecting In Windows 11 22H2

I have had my wiimote connected before on windows 11. But on one of the latest versions it no longer lets you connect via control panel. Is there still a way to do this. Wiimotes have pins and you cannot bypass that through the settings app like you could on control panel before this way was changed.

Wii Remote not connecting on Windows 11

Good day,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

I understand that Wii Remote can't connect to Windows 11

Since Wii Remote is a third-party hardware, please tell me, did you connect it through Bluetooth?

Is there any error code appear when connecting?

If your others devices can connect to Windows through Bluetooth, then the error may caused by the incompatibility between Windows 11 and your Wii Remote, you may please contact the official website of the hardware on how to connect to Windows 11.

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

Connecting a Wii Remote through Bluetooth

Hi,

I am Wilfredo an Independent advisor

Try This

Start the Bluetooth device with which the Wii Remote will connect.

Press the "1" and "2" buttons together on the Wii control. The LED lights will flash on the remote. This action will activate the Wii Remote in the mode that allows it to be discovered by the Bluetooth device you wish to connect. Continue pressing the buttons
throughout the association process.

Find the Wii Remote through the Bluetooth device in the connection component. The Wii Remote will be identified by the connection device as "NINTENDO-RVT-CNT-01".

Click on the "Next" button. When asked for a security code or PIN, click on the "Skip" button and leave the field blank.

Click on the "Keyboard / Mouse / HID Service" and click "OK". The Wii Remote now appears in the list of connected devices.

I hope it helps you
