    Wireless Xbox One controller requires PIN for Windows 10.

    Hi,

    You will be asked for a PIN when connecting your wireless Xbox One controller via Bluetooth on Windows 10 if your Bluetooth drivers are not updated. It is also possible that you have to reset the controller to remove the PIN. To resolve your concern, restart
    your controller by following the steps below:

    • Power off the controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button on the controller for 6 seconds.
    • Press the Xbox button again to power it back on.
    • Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller to your PC using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

    You can also update your Bluetooth drivers by following the steps on this
    link    .

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

    XBOX Wireless Controller - Enter the PIN for XBOX Wireless Controller

    My XBOX Wireless controller was connecting fine over Bluetooth until 21/12/2017. But on 22/12/2017 when i tried to connect, it is presenting the screen asking to enter PIN. This was not the case earlier and i do not know which PIN to enter.

    The Bluetooth drivers seems to be pretty much updated.

    Please suggest on this issue as it is really irritating not able to connect my wireless controllers to Windows 10.

    Windows asking for a PIN for an xbox wireless controller even though it doesnt have a pin

    Wireless Xbox One controller requires PIN for Windows 10.

    Hello,

    I have exactly the same problem.

    I already have:

    • updated my windows 10 (3rd November 2017)
    • Reset the controller
    • Updated the bluetooth drivers (Windows has determined that the best driver for this device is already installed ... )
    • Connected the controller with a USB cable (Microsoft XBox One Controllers works fine if wired)
    but the system ask for a PIN Windows asking for a PIN for an xbox wireless controller even though it doesnt have a pin :(

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks
