Question Can't connect xbox one controller via usb cable

[ImJaxi]

I have an Xbox One S controller that I am trying to plug into my PC to play PC games using the controller rather than M&K. I have the most recent updates of Windows 10. I have tried plugging in my controller with 4 different USB cords, 2 of which were brand new never been used. When I plug it in, the controller vibrates but then nothing happens. PC doesn't recognize the controller. I have tried literally every possible troubleshooting option I can think of or found on the internet. I tried updating all drivers (to which my PC tells me all drivers are the latest and greatest versions), I tried multiple controllers thinking that was the issue but still nothing works.

Everything I have read online talks about uninstalled the Microsoft Xbox One Controller driver from "Device Manager", however I don't even have that listed anywhere as an option. It's like it is completely missing from my PC and I can't figure out how to get the driver to even appear. I am thinking that is the main issue but nothing I've found in any forums or google searches as specifically addressed this problem - although I have seen countless people with the same problem as me.

What version of Windows 10 are you working with? As for your controller, might want to see if reinstalling your chipset/USB drivers in an elevated command, alleviates the issue. To also note, what is the make and model of your motherboard? BIOS version for your motherboard? Have you tried working with USB ports on the rear of the case(assuming you tried the front panel ports only)?

You state being on Windows 10, yet this thread was created in the Windows 11 section. Which one is it?

with 4 different USB cords, 2 of which were brand new never been used
Links to the cables used?

bios version is 1.62
Can you sue CPU-Z and see what your mainboard tabs shows regarding the BIOS version?

i have latest win 11 version
Where did you source the installer for your OS?

 

[ImJaxi]

it says version 1.62 -AMD AGESA ComboAM4v2PI 1.2.0.5

Where did you source the installer for your OS?
