Windows 10: Xbox One Controller cant connect via USB to Win 10

Hi, so i got a bluetooth capable xbox one controller but i cant for the love of god after 6 hours of reading and trying, get it to work.


The thing is i could pair it via bluetooth and it gets recognized but it still just flashes white and doesnt work in games.

Via cable no matter in what port i put the cable HUB or directly even unplugging everything else it isnt recognized. It just keeps flashing.


The accessories app also does nothing and i dont see it in device manager.

I only see it there under bluetooth if i connected it via bluetooth.

:)
