    5:40 ... *looks at both cable i've been trying to use for the past hour but they haven't been working*
    OH FOR F-
    ok but in all seriousness, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT EVERY POSSIBLE PROBELM AND SOLUTION. every single video i have watched about this issue just says "connect your controller with a wire" and then they just continue like nobody could possibly have any issues with that, and then i'm just sitting there like "IT NO WORK" and i search for the next video and hope they say how to fix usb controller connection issues. You are the ONLY person I've seen in the last hour actually mention the difference between certain usb cables, and I HEAVILY thank you for that. Now that you've mentioned it, it seems like a very obvious thing that Ive somehow managed to overlook, but anyway I'm gonna scour through my whole apartment and hope someone in this house has a usb that works with my xbox one controller. Might be hard to find tho cuz that controller doesn't have a usb c port, it has the old header that android phones used to use.

    thank you for referencing the xbox accessories app -- this is the first source in several hours of searching that has mentioned it. Also, for anyone else attempting to connect via a usb cable to avoid shitty bluetooth connections, make sure the other end of the usb is in fact connected to the pc and NOT one of several usb chargers you have behind your monitors!

    I am attempting to connect an xbox 360 controller via cord, however I believe it is an older model, but am not sure what it is to see if I am able to connect it. It does not have a usb connector, and instead has a wide section for a cord, which i have a cable that connects to it I believe is called a "play and charge kit." Once plugged in, the device glows around the xbox button, flashing on and off repeatedly but does nothing else, and doesn't do anything.

    I've recently had an issue with my controller turning on AND connecting to my PC. On Steam, it can't detect my controller and on the 'other devices' settings there were no controller devices being shown. I've tried plugging an unplugging the controller, cleaned the ports of both the USB and controller, and also checked whether the issue was the PC's USB ports that were faulty. Those weren't the problem because when I tried connecting my Razer mouse and headset through they were working perfectly fine. This is really frustrating and hasn't happened before when I bought my Xbox controller. Previously, I had played and connected my controller through the same USB port and I had no issues with that. Though one thing I kept in mind is that I haven't touched or turned on my Xbox controller in about a year, and that may be a factor to this problem that I'm facing. Not entirely sure if that's the case, but for now, I'm doing the steps you showed to update my Windows and I'll let you know whether it was successful or not.

    Fantastic. Back when I had a 360 controller on Windows 7 it was just plug and play. I eventually switched to mouse and keyboard, and I like that better for most games, but I'm getting into soulslikes, and Dark Souls just doesn't hold up for that.

    Hi there brother. May I ask If i decide to use an Xbox controller do i still need to map or edit the buttons on a given game? or will the game auto detect it and just play using the controller? And what Xbox controller would you recommend? (My games are Resident Evil Revelations, Fighting EX Layer, Ryse: Sone of Rome and Left 4 Dead.) Please help. Thanks.

    Solution: I have added the Wi-Fi 6E (additional antenna on my mb) it looks like it's also the Bluetooth antenna!
    Hello all,
    Sadly mine is still not working even with Bluetooth 5.3 (motherboard)
    I did exactly as you mentioned in the video but stil when i move the controller 30cm away from the PCi it disconnects and connects back, or nothing at all...
    In the Xbox accessories software it doesn't show any other update (there was 1 that I did installed as you mentioned in the video)so I guess I ended up with a faulty controller i guess!
    Any recommendations here would be lovely!
    *Good to mention that I bought the controller today so I can just return it back tomorrow for a replacement (store policy)
