Xbox One Controller won't connect to PC

[Ricky5555]

Hi Guys

I have a Windows 10 gaming PC and a Xbox One controller wired to it. Was working fine but then I re-synced the controller to console and now it just wont connect to the PC.

All I get is the flashing home button. Tried taking the battery out, resetting the PC. I thought it would just work when it was wired.

Any ideas guys? I'm pulling my hair out with the stupid thing.

Cheers in advance

Thanks man, still wont work. My issue is that I can't even get Windows to connect to it. It just says USB device unreconised.

Got it working I was being a complete chump. I was wiring the controller and then turning the controller on. If you turn on the controller first and then plug in the cable it works.

Cant believe that, sorry for being so slow guys.

Cheers

The drivers only come pre-installed with Windows 10. You need to download the drivers and install them:
