    Xbox 360 wireless controller won't sync with Microsoft dongle


    Hi,


    So, I have bought a new Microsoft Xbox dongle for my PC (it looks like a black memory stick).


    It appears in my device manager and has the latest drivers installed. It will not sync with my Xbox 360 wireless controller though.


    I have removed it, uninstalled it completely and reinstalled (with the latest drivers again) and still no joy at syncing - just an irritating white flashing light telling me it is looking for something to pair with. It has failed to connect with all three wireless xbox controllers which I own.


    Does anyone have experience with this issue or know a solution beyond 'have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?' Xbox 360 wireless controller won't sync with Microsoft dongle :)


    Thanks

    :)

    Hi,

    You can connect an Xbox 360 controller wirelessly to your computer by using an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver only. For the instructions on how to connect your controller wirelessly using your Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver, you can follow the steps
    provided on this

    If the issue persists, we recommend that you connect the controller to the computer using a USB cable to test if there is an issue with the controller itself.

    Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with Win10

    After upgrading from 8.1 to 10, my Xbox 360 wireless controller no longer syncs to the dongle attached to my PC. I assume that I need a new driver that is compatible, but I am unable to find that or figure out how to uninstall and reinstall the same one
    (just to see if that would work). Anyone else successful in this area?
