xbox one controller PC bluetooth become unresponsive randomly i have to alt + tab to make it work again = FIX BUY Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows

[džemík]

Hello guys,

I have been playing with Xbox one controller on PC via an ordinary Bluetooth stick. I have tried games like Dark Souls 3, Crash bandicoot n sane trilogy, Super Street Fighter IV, and so on.

In each game, I have faced an issue when the controller went unresponsive at random times. The only fix for me was to alt+tab out of game and alt+tab back to the game to make controller work again. The controller was still in sync since it was paired with Bluetooth also a light on the controller stay lid all time, it was not reconnecting or pairing. No, it was still paired however at random times it just went unresponsive and I have to alt + tab the game and alt + tab back to make controller register inputs again. Most severe it was on Super Street Fighter IV, when in 30 min I have to this alt+tab 5 times.

This was really not optimal for many games, and it really crushed any immersion within the game.

I have been looking for hours for any solution, try each one which I could find however nothing worked for me.

Then I bought Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows the USB stick which is a Microsoft proprietary and it before it was the only solution how to connect Xbox controller wirelessly via PC.

Even though I could connect my Xbox one controller via an ordinary Bluetooth stick.

Since I bought Microsoft Xbox one Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows and paired my Xbox one controller I did not have any issues since. Now I could play for hours and gamepad would not go unresponsive.

So guys if want to fix this I would suggest trying Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows.

Before I spent hours searching for this issue even though it is widespread still I could not find any working solution.

I wanted to share this fix since I could not find any working solution online.

I hope this fix will help someone as well.

USB Bluetooth is horrible, don’t use it for controllers. Just buy a PCI WIFI card, almost all come with a BT module.

Just wanted to say that Google led me here, and this post solved my issues. Some weird update to my BT controller drivers meant that I started experiencing this issue. Turning off power management for the BT controller fixed it!

Glad to hear that!

If you are using a Bluetooth adapter that uses a USB port or uses the USB interface on the motherboard, try to disable the power management on USB devices in Devices Manager
