[SOLVED] Xbox One S Controller not working on PC trough USB

[Schegg]

Hello, first off I am sorry if this is in the wrong section or something because I am new here, also sorry for my English that may be bad sometimes 😛

I have an Xbox One S controller, plugged it in with an USB data cable in my PC and the controller gives a short vibrate and then just does nothing, even the Xbox light doesn't light up. It's not showing in device manager either.

Things I have tried:

• Different USB data cable.
• Windows updates
• Controller drivers
• Updated the controller with my Xbox One S console, controller was not recognized with the Xbox Accessoires app on my PC.

I don't know what else to do and I really wan't to use my controller on my PC to play games, it just doesn't work!

System specs (if needed)

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: Gigabyte RX 580 Gaming 8GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000Mhz
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3

Thanks for helping me!

This almost has to be a pin problem at the controller end.

If you just plug in to a phone charger with that USB cable attached, what happens?

It just vibrates again :/

Also, the controller worked perfectly on my other PC.

Also, the controller did show up last time in Device Manager when I ticked, show disconnected devices or something, and while looking into the events list it said something like an error.

Is it still working perfectly on your other PC? And also, have you tried Bluetooth? Wireless?

I don't have my old PC anymore, and I also don't have wireless bluetooth :/

All this is making it difficult to prove the problem easily

If you have steam, try starting up big picture mode. Steam does a good job at recognizing controllers, and maybe it'll realize it's there.

Best of luck!
