Update your driversĪnother common cause of issues can be outdated drivers. The original Xbox One wireless connectors are available for roughly $25 online, so you can relatively easily pick one up and test it out if the other connections don’t work and you don’t want to have the controller repaired/replaced. Using a Wireless connector (a different type of connection than Bluetooth, though neither need a cable) can also be an option, provided you have one. Some controllers don’t support wireless connectivity, however you can still try using Bluetooth rather than USB if you’ve been having problems with USB. Try using a different connection methodĪll wireless Xbox one controllers can also connect via USB, try using a USB cable to see if it is an issue with your wireless connection. If you’re using the Xbox Wireless Adaptor, also try unplugging it from the computer and then plugging it back in. Disconnecting and reconnecting from the wireless connection, or forgetting the connection entirely and repairing can help resolve connection issues. Many Xbox One controllers can also connect wirelessly through Bluetooth or the Xbox Wireless Adaptor that Microsoft offers. It’s also a good idea to try a different USB cable as the issue could be with the cable itself. Disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable and see if the issue persists, being careful not to pull the cable taut. If you’ve connected your controller to your computer via USB, then one potential issue is that your USB cable is loose. It’s recommended that you restart your computer as well as your controller as you don’t necessarily know that the problem isn’t with the computer. Restarting devices can help resolve any issues and is quick and easy to do. It’s the oldest troubleshooting tip in the book, but it still works surprisingly often.
