What xbox 360 controller do you have ?

if its not an Elite Wireless Controller with Bluetooth then..

Make sure that your wireless adapter is compatible with your PC and your controller. Some adapters may not work well with Windows 11 or Xbox 360 controllers. You can check the product description and reviews of your adapter on Amazon to see if other users have reported any problems or solutions.


Update the drivers for your wireless adapter and your controller. Sometimes, outdated or corrupted drivers can cause connection and performance issues. You can update the drivers manually by following the instructions on this page2, or you can use a tool like Driver Easy3 to automatically scan and update the drivers for you.


Re-sync your controller with your wireless adapter. Sometimes, the wireless connection between your controller and your adapter may be lost or interrupted. To re-sync them, you need to press and hold the sync button on the adapter until it flashes, then press and hold the sync button on the controller until the guide button flashes. Your controller should pair with the adapter, and you should see a solid light on both devices.

Adjust the sensitivity and calibration of your controller. Sometimes, the controller may be too sensitive or too slow for your preference or for certain games. You can adjust the sensitivity and calibration of your controller by using the Game Controller settings or the Xbox Accessories app on your PC5. You can also use a tool like Xpadder to customize your controller settings for different games.

Jolly good luck

Sorry for the wrong order but i would assume that laptop allready have bluetooth on it so settings bluetoth and units bluetooth on. hold down button located in front of the controller untill it stop flashes.

i don't i have one i mean i update it by the way and the only thing i found is "BlueTooth" with the word on and that's it

To me it sounds like you need to sync the controller with the wireless device. There should be a little button with two or three waves on it. Press that button and the light should blink faster until it finds your device and the light should stay on. IF this doesn't wok, you might of gotten the wrong wireless dongle. The 360 controller I used to use came with the controller, but I don't know if they make those anymore,so you will be stuck with a third party dongle.

You would be better off getting a xbox series X|S controller with the wireless dongle.
