Which Xbox adaptor are you referring to specifically? Do you mean one of these, used on PC to connect controllers and headsets?

Do you also have an Xbox console?
vernal willow
no
jaunty timber
Do you have any other controllers?
jaunty timber
You could try testing the controller on that Xbox to see if it connects. That will help to check if there's an issue with the controller or not.
jaunty timber
You could also ask your friend to see if they will let you test one of their controllers to your wireless adaptor.

leaden remnant

jaunty timber
Obviously not Rumbly, or there would be no need for this thread.
@vernal willow What have you tried so far?
vernal willow
i tried to search my device management
jaunty timber
Do you see the USB device in there?
vernal willow
yes, Xbox adapter for windows
jaunty timber
And you have rebooted the PC, right?
jaunty timber
Turn it off, turn it back on.
jaunty timber
That doesn't really matter.
vernal willow
ok ima try it right now
jaunty timber
A restart is always the best first thing to try with pretty much any tech issue.
vernal willow
i did
jaunty timber
When was the controller last tested on your friends Xbox?
vernal willow
pretty sure it was a month ago
jaunty timber
Okay, then two things.
-
Test it again and make sure it works. If it doesn't connect to their Xbox, it's an issue with the controller
-
If it does connect to the Xbox, ask your friend to try pairing one of their other controllers to your wireless adaptor and see if that works.
It it doesn't, then there's a problem with the adaptor.
If it does, then some more troubleshooting would be needed with the day one controller.
jaunty timber
Well at least you can use it in the meantime.
jaunty timber
I already said what to do.
