Windows 10: Xbox wireless controller disconnects every few minutes

I can't figure out what's wrong here... every few minutes my wireless Xbox controllers keeps disconnecting from my Windows 10 pc (using the Microsoft Xbox wireless controller adapter). It reconnects fine on it's own every time though, but it makes gaming impossible because every few minutes I'll lose input for about 5 to 10 seconds while it reconnects. I've even tried using it on a different pc and it does the same thing.

Xbox One Wireless controller keeps disconnecting

After reading some replies on here, there seem to be a lot of various theories. I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you, but I can confirm that exiting Steamworked for me. The problem is very repeatable.

• Connect and disconnect controller
• Sleep and wake up system
• Xbox One Wireless controller connects (as shown in the "Game Controllers" panel) and disconnects within 2 seconds.
• Exit Steam
• Xbox One Wireless controller connects and works.
• Restart Steam (controller still works)
• Disconnect Xbox One Wireless controller, then connects and disconnects within 2 seconds.

I'm narrowing my problem down to the Big Picture mode, so that problem is for another forum...

Hopefully this workaround helps a few people before the real solution is found.

Xbox One controller not fully working wireless

Hi Lloyd,

Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

If you're having difficulty initiating connectivity of your controller to your console, this may indicate one of the following issues:

• The wireless controller's batteries are weak, or the Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Pack needs recharging.

• Another wireless device (such as a microwave oven, a cordless phone, or a wireless router) is interfering with the wireless controller's connection to the console.
• Metallic objects (such as metal dividers, shelves, or doors of an entertainment center) positioned between the console and the wireless controller are causing interference with the wireless controller's connection to the console.
• Eight wireless controllers are already connected, and you're trying to connect an additional wireless controller.
• Your Xbox One hardware is malfunctioning.
