Bluetooth won't detect Xbox One Controller

[MADGOD]

Hi, Could anybody help me?
I have an Xbox One HALO 5 Guardian edition controller, and i've been trying to make it work wirelessly with bluetooth on my PC.
When i try to search the controller, the bluetooth won't even show the controller on the list of available devices.

You need a BT dongle to get it to work. Or the XBO wireless receiver. Or BT built-in.

I could solve the connection issue with Xbox One S controller over Bluetooth on a Win10 laptop!

Problem description:
- The Xbox One S controller is not showing up in the Bluetooth Add Device window.

Checks done:
- I have the Xbox One S controller:
- - on the box there is the bluetooth icon,
- - the plastic around the Xbox button is part of the main pad housing,
- - I can connect to my android phone over bluetooth, and it is working fine.
- Windows has the Anniversary Update (Version 1709).
- I can connect the controller over a micro USB cable and it is working fine.
- Controller Firmware update was done with the Xbox Accessories app in Windows (it was already up to date).

Solution:
- In Services, the "DeviceAssociationService" was disabled. I started the service. (In Hungarian Windows: "Eszköztársítási szolgáltatás".)
- Immediately after that: the controller was showing up in the bluetooth add device dialog, and the controller is working fine.
- If you doesn't experience any problems, you can set it to automatic start.
- By me this service blocks some WebDAV connection, and thus I left it disabled. The controller was still working fine once it was paired, also after computer restart.

I hope this helps some of you who have the same problems.

Which has nothing to do with the original topic. Why did you necro this thread again?

I found this topic when I was looking for a solution to my problem. The title ("Bluetooth won't detect Xbox One Controller") can also mean the problem I faced. I presume when others are looking for answers to the same problem, they will also find this topic. This way I can spare them some problem-seeking time.

I also had the problem of the controller not being discovered by the Bluetooth driver. Also tagging my solution on, as Volvox's solution unfortunately didn't work for me (the DeviceAssociationService service was already running)

My solution was to go into Control Panel -> View Devices and Printers and right click -> remove device on all existing Xbox WIreless Controllers (I had just replaced it so my previous one was there, but the NEW controller was already there from when it kind-of-paired-but-not-really, which must have been why it wasn't showing up as a new device. right click -> removed that one and my controller instantly showed up in the Bluetooth search results.

Wait... my controller is not detected by PC's bluetooth, but I remember that on the packaging it said it uses bluetooth to connect.

Also, it seems to be interfering with other bluetooth devices, because when I turn on the controller, the distant devices stop showing up.

If anyone comes across this issue again, I found my Xbox Controller and fixed the issue myself.

On Win10, go to Bluetooth Settings & Devices>Add a device>Bluetooth and I found my controller.

This is confusing, because on the Add a device screen, there is a choice that says Everything Else for Xbox Controllers with wireless, but it will not work if you're using the Bluetooth Xbox controller.

THANK YOU!

Makes absolutely no sense when you go to add a device that you're supposed to choose 'Bluetooth' when the third option on the page actually lists Xbox controllers by name.. Anyway, got it working.
