  1. Xbox Controller does not stay connected to PC


    I built my gaming PC. I can connect to my PC with the controller just fine, but when I leave and turn my computer back on and my controller on, I have to forget the device and reconnect it again. Is there a way to just turn on the controller and it automatically connects back to the computer?

    :)

      uninstall.
    6. Restart your computer.
