How to Calibrate xbox one controller?

[Mitchumz]

The problem I am having is when using my xbox one controller any wheeled vehicle I get into takes off with out me touching any buttons and the horn blares too. I went into the options for the controller. It tells me I need to have the controller calibrated so it has a nuetral number of zero. How do I do this? I am using a newly bought Xbox one controller and Windows 10.

Same issue, I have done the hotfixes they recommend (replacing the XML file). But that just takes away most controls.

The utility program for configuring/calibrating your Xbox controller should have been installed when you first plugged it in. There should be an entry in the start menu (or whatever replaces it in Windows 10) or in the Joysticks control panel.

Once the device is configured and calibrated in Windows, make sure any throttle is set at zero, start the game, go in the options, then key assignments. Find the function you want to customize, click the secondary assignment, then activate the desired control on your device. The new assignment should appear as the secondary assignment.

This is generic advice, as I don't own this device.

Thanks for trying to help. I don't have any control center with the wireless adapter for xbox one. I've been looking up both microsoft and steam to figure out what is going on.

This is for Windows 8 but it looks promising:

As far as I can see, there is nothing to calibrate in Windows. Only in the game.
If it still doesn't work, try with a different game.

Thanks, I am reading through it. I am going to go online with Microsoft. Either there is something wrong with the game, in which case I tried the different methods the publisher offered like replacing the xml file and or deleting it. That just takes away the controller. For now I am honking and moving forward against my will!

I found the device manager and calibrated. I tried other games like Fallout New Vegas and the controler works fine. Something with the xml file witht hsi game I guesss.

i am having trouble finding the link again, but apparently they posted an issue with windows 10 and xbox one controllers. they can't fix it without breaking the controller with windows 8. the solution they provided was to right click on the game in your library and go to properties > betas> and choose the windows10 beta.

i haven't tried it yet but i don't see how this wouldn't fix the problem for me at least.

Glad I found this. It was driving me crazy. This works perfectly for me!

For anyone that may land here when having problems using Windows 10 after creators update and having problems with the controller connected via Bluetooth:

- Connect your controller via USB
- Update your controller firmware using the Xbox App > Settings (it will install the Xbox Accessories app, and for some reason only works when opening the Xbox App first)
- Go on start menu and search for Joystick, it will show a "Setup USB game controllers - open it.
- Select your xbox one controller and click properties, then go on the calibrate option/tab and follow the steps until you finish.

You can now disconnect the USB and connect it via Bluetooth, should be ok.
