I never thought restore points were something to enable as they were all automatic in all of my previous computers and versions of the OS. This is the 1st computer i had ever built and Windowsġ0 software is still relatively newer to me, it keeps changing discreetly here and there.

I had mentioned on more than one occasion that I learned the hard way that in Windows 10 enabling restore points was an option and my machine didn't have that turned on, so I was unable to use that method. I asked them to portal into my computer to just do what what was necessary instead of text chatting with me endlessly following commands.

I don't think that was a very good resource of man hours or my own personal time since I have already definitively narrowed the issue down to the Windows 10 update.įinally someone from Microsoft thought it would be smart to transfer me to windows tech support. Microsoft tech support kept looping me to Xbox support to troubleshoot the controller. I then tested the controller on my laptop and it worked flawlessly on that machine. To go ridiculous steps further I turned on my Garmin device to see what it would find and it also found the controller as "xbox wireless controller". I can say that I know this to be fact with great confidence because my cell phone, my tablets and my laptop all found the controller via bluetooth as "xbox wireless controller" while at the same moment my PC was still finding the device as "input".

System troubleshooting options and researching the issue online to see if others had or have this same issue and so forth.Īfter the above mentioned, I thought since it was a windows update that broke my new xbox controllers bluetooth link that I would have MS tech support try to work out the issue remotely as I knew it was a windows software conflict/issue and not the controller.

Including attempting system restore, updating bluetooth drives, running I ran through all the troubleshooting for a couple hours cumulatively between speaking with my clients at work and exhausted all searches for this issue as well as any of my known methods. The naming convention changed from "xbox wireless controller" to "input" with the same game controller iconĪnd my computer would not connect to "input" at all. Then on the 28th a couple updates to my computer occurred and the controller no longer operated on my computer as intended. I easily connected it with zero issue and it Long answer to arrive at the solution above: I bought a wireless xbox one x controller for my PC November 22nd from MS store online, was delivered November 26th. That's roughly an $800 savings in my specific scenario. Cost of the wireless adapter after taxes $27.49. This issue, if I was paid my normal hourly income would have cost me a $825 loss in income my average hourly rate of $75 per hour. Short answer to the resolution of this problem to save valuable time:

I have a new custom build Windows 10 Pro PC completed in late October 2018. I should download to help? I have done every troubleshooting option on this website. It connects to all other computers and shows up as 'Xbox one controller'. It used to connect fine to my computer, but now it no longer does.

Recently, I bought an xbox one s controller.
