#SOFAPLAY NOT FINDING XBOX ONE PC#

Nothing worked, and I got really really scared I’d bricked my beautiful Xbox One Controller that worked so well with my PC (I mean it still worked but only with my brother’s Xbox One which does me no good).īut THEN I FOUND THIS SOLUTION, thanks to 'Mr. I tried all kinds of different solutions from a ton of restarts hoping that’d fix it to solutions I found online like plugging it in via USB then deleting it from Device Manager and unplugging it and turning it back on and trying to pair it (didn’t work).

#SOFAPLAY NOT FINDING XBOX ONE BLUETOOTH#

Thinking I’d just add it back again I deleted it from my Bluetooth connected devices and I go to “Add Bluetooth Device” but no matter which option I pick the Xbox One Controller wasn’t popping up anywhere, even in seek mode. I go into the Bluetooth settings on my computer and it says the controller is “Paired” but it no longer said connected and pressing Connect simply did nothing. What do you know, when I turn on my Xbox One controller, it turns on his Xbox One! So I unplug his Xbox One and I try to turn my controller on and it’s still very clearly now paired to his Xbox One and not my computer.

#SOFAPLAY NOT FINDING XBOX ONE UPDATE#

I get home and it’s back on my dresser, I update Windows to Creative Edition and everything’s fine until I go to play some games. I went out one day and my brother texted and asked if he could use my controller and even though I said nothing, he still took it anyways and paired it with his Xbox One. But using this controller had been AWESOME right until it stopped working, but now that I fixed it it's working perfectly again and I love it! It should pop up there now (finally), simply pair it and you’re set, cheers!Īfter buying my controller and pairing it to my PC I was actually amazed at how well it worked because I generally hate Bluetooth when it comes to computers. Turn it off and back on and go to pair it in your PC’s Bluetooth Options > Add A Device > Bluetooth (click the seek button on your Xbox Controller so that it searches for your PC). When it’s done updating, unplug the controller from your PC. It should say “Update required”, click that, wait for it to update.ĥ. Plug in your Xbox One controller to PC via USB.Ĥ.

Download “Xbox Accessories” from Windows 10 store.ģ. TL DR Version: Your PC isn’t discovering your Bluetooth Xbox One controller no matter what you try? It isn’t appearing? Update the controller:ġ.

I have the Dawn Shadow controller which *does* support Bluetooth, and the Xbox One S controller models should support Bluetooth as well the older controllers are the ones that need the dongle. Note that this is if your Xbox One controller SUPPORTS Bluetooth it has to be one of the newer models to do this. UPDATE: I NO LONGER RECOMMEND DOING THIS, SEE ABOVE. So I'm posting it here hoping if someone else has this problem they can find it here too :) Hey guys! So I had this problem and saw some other people across the net having it too and for me it was really hard to find the solution even though the solution itself was super easy.

Hopefully Microsoft will fix it up but until then, apparently the solution is reformatting it by plugging it into an Xbox, according to GotHacka. It worked once upon a time but apparently now it's bricking controllers. Therefore, I DON'T recommend following the method below anymore. To fix the controller you need to reformat it by plugging it into a xbox - it's the only way.' According to Gothacka, there 'has been a bug in the app since Windows 10 Anniversary, it's happened to anyone trying to update their controller firmware, you can see all the reviews here:
