Issues with Xbox One Wireless Controller

[wege12]

I can't seem to get the Xbone Wireless Controller to work in Steam and steam games. My controller is connected to the wireless USB dongle but I can't control big picture mode in Steam or inside of games with it.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

press Winkey+R
type JOY.CPL
click OK

Now does it work in there?

No, the Xbox one controller isn't even an option. But when I plug in my wired 360 controller, it works fine and is an option on that drop down menu for preferred gaming device.

You do have the XB1 dongle I take it?

Have you tried using the XB1 controller wired?

Yes I have the dongle. I haven't tried it wired yet because I bought it entirely for the fact that it was wireless. If I can't get it to work in every steam game that supports gamepads, I'll return it.

Remove the XBO Wireless Dongle and Batteries, and install it via USB cable.
It is a MicroUSB-to-USB cable, so it is fairly common.

Does the wireless adaptor show in control panel?

I tried plugging the Xbone controller to my PC via Micromax USB and it didn't fix the issue.

Also, yes the Xbox wireless adapter and Xbone Wireless Controller show up in control panel

Micromax USB?

Anyways so did it work via usb cable with batteries and wireless adapter removed?

That was a typo, meant to just say "micro USB". And it did not work plugged in via USB with the adapter unplugged.

Well it has to show as a device... install the driver.

Do a manual "Check for Updates" via Windows Updates.

Windows is up to date and I'm pretty sure the drivers are installed. However, when I go into hardware devices in the control panel, it shows the Xbone Wireless Controller but it says it's not connected even though the controller is connected to the wireless adapter.

For Wireless, then redo the whole "connect" process of pairing the Controller with the Wireless Adapter.

Then with the controller power on and connected, check JOY.CPL
If it's not showing in there, something is wrong.

Reconnected the wireless controller to the adapter and it's still not showing up in JOY.CPL.

This starting to get super frustrating.

As stupid a question as this might be, have you tried other USB ports?

My brother for example has some USB ports that the Xbox One controller won't work with (not the controller's fault, just the ports), meanwhile it's detected as it should in other ports.

Yes try a 2.0 Port in the rear of the Motherboard.
