    Can’t connect Xbox one controller to pc

    Hello SubieTY,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Initially, we need to pair the device to show up in the list while connected through Bluetooth. Check with the below mentioned steps and see if it works.


    Hope it helps.

  3. Xbox 360 controller wont connect to wireless reciever

    Thanks for the respond, i'm trying to connect it by pressing the button on the reciever that makes the light flash on and off, than i quickly press the sync button on the controller. After doing that the controller lights makes circles but after a few second its just starts flashing on and off.


    EDIT : my driver information is identical to the two pictures you have posted.

    Xbox 360 controller wont connect to wireless reciever

    Greetings,

    i've got my pc wireless reciever in the mail today so i can play video games on my computer while using the xbox 360 controller. But it is not connecting, i've downloading the driver on the pc wireless reciever trough the windows "Search on my computer for drivers" option. But no succes yet. The light on the controller just keeps flashing with no connection what so ever. Any help is really appreciated

    I have tested to see if the controller was broken, but its not since it does connect to my xbox 360 slim without an issue.
