  2. 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.

    If I understand this thread correctly, 271 people have this problem and 1 person was helped by the suggested solutions? The box for the Xbox Wireless Controller reads, "Bluetooth use requires Windows 10. For use without Bluetooth on Windows 7, 8.1, or
    10, a USB cable or Xbox wireless adapter is required (each sold separately)". I have a new Windows 10 installation on a new build with all latest drivers. Everything else works flawlessly. It seems a simple thing for Microsoft - maker of both Xbox controller
    and Windows 10 - to either provide the PIN or remove the need for it. Any suggestion to use a cable or wireless adapter instead of being able to use the advertised Bluetooth with Windows 10 is neither reasonable nor helpful. My Xbox controller is going back
    to the store tomorrow.

    You're right. It's totally pointless to have this wireless controller but still use it like an Xbox 360 controller. It's too late for some people to send their controller back to the store, since this problem is occurring lately for some users due to some
    sort of a new windows 10 update or whatever the reason is. After all, these typical "Update your drivers suggested solutions" never seemed to help in any thread.
