Windows 10: Windows Xbox bluetooth adapter is recognized but will not sync with controller (Slim version)

Title.

I used to use the old wide version of the dongle and it worked ok after having to jump through 100 hoops to find the proper drivers, now this time this dongle is recognized and functioning according to windows but it will not connect to my controller after trying to sync it

Why are these dongles such a pain in the ass to connect and work with windows?

I hope someone else has had this issue of it recognizing it for once but for some reason no connection, again using the newer slim dongle

Xbox wireless controller not recognized by Windows

Hello Steven

I am not using the Xbox wireless adapter for Xbox, I am using a Bluetooth adapter. It says on the box of the controller it's to be connected via Bluetooth. In any case, I did most of these steps for the Bluetooth as well, installing, re-installing, rebooting,
etc.

Thanks,

Lior

 

[Solved] Bluetooth Adapter won't recognize Xbox Controller

Hey guys.

I bought myself a bluetooth adapter today (4.0), and I can't get it to work.. Apparently it's supposed to work on Windows XP and newer.

What I've tried:

• Installing driver for CSR Harmony (2 different versions)
• Uninstalling the driver above and unplug the usb, then reboot the computer while usb is plugged in
• Installing different drivers via "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" on the controller and on the bluetooth driver.

The reason I could install different drivers on the controller, is that I can connect it manually via a cable, but this is not optimal as the controller is shorter than a wiener.

Almost all issues I've seen online was resolved with this "fix". Aka just not using the CSR drivers at all and letting Windows install the drivers automatically.

The weird part:

• My computer is now discoverable by my phone
• It looks like my computer can detect other devices (not 100% sure about this one, as I dont have anything else to test with)
• The Xbox Controller is discoverable by my phone
• When i had the CSR Harmony driver installed, I actually found the Xbox Controller, but I had issues pairing. (Error: "no pairing response received", and this issue was also resolved by the fix above)

It doesn't seem like there is an issue with the adapter, because it makes my computer discoverable, and it doesn't seem like there is an issue with the xbox controller, because it is discoverable by my phone... Hmm....

However, I do find it under More Bluetooth options --> COM Ports --> Add --> Outgoing (your PC initiates the connection) --> Browse

The error I get when trying to connect to it through here is "The device you selected does not have a serial port service running". But I guess it should

be impossible to connect to the controller this way anyways...

Any suggestions?
