[SOLVED] My xbox one controller won't sync to my pc when i plug a micro USB into it?

[Nuplar]

I have been using the same cable and controller for about a month now. It was fine until earlier today whenever I tried to play with it. I plugged it in and it wouldn't connect. It would just blink constantly and eventually turn off. I have tried unplugging the cable from my pc and my controller, but it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried updating the software? I know windows can be a fickled thing and as soon as they decide they want to update something, Something will break and stop working.

You can easily find the software in the MS Store, assuming you are on windows Open up store and look for Xbox Accessories. You will need to do this with a Cable as they don't like doing it over Bluetooth witch seems won't be an issue for you.

IF that doesn't work can you also give a bit more details about what games you are playing with it on what platform. I have several platforms I play on one of them being Steam. there can be some issues there as well.

Edit: forgot to post a link to a Guide on how to update.

I remember having a similar problem ages ago. I had to uninstall the driver, reboot and let Windows reinstall the driver then it was ok.
