#Xbox one wireless adapter for pc video driver#

Unfortunately, I don't have that many Xbox One controllers, so I just used the two in my possession. The ability to connect eight controllers on one dongle is also impressive. Also, it detects when you don't use the controller for an extended period of time and automatically shuts down to save battery life, and you can turn it on again via the Xbox button on the controller (no need to keep pairing it over and over again).

I didn't notice any latency issues when the dongle was connected via the USB extender or directly to the port. When you're done setting up the pairings, it's smooth sailing from there on out. There could be a variety of reasons for the issue, but the fact remains that the extra amount of effort required to get it going could turn some people away. The entire process was a bit unorthodox, especially considering that something so simple didn't immediately work out of the box. I downloaded the driver, unzipped it, and then manually installed it through the Device Manager.

There is a fix available through the Microsoft Catalog Update, but it works only on one browser - Internet Explorer. This is strange, as the product has been out for quite some time now, and so I did some troubleshooting, including plugging it into different USB ports, telling the computer to forget the device, and even restarting the whole system.Ī quick Google search revealed that I wasn't the only one who had this problem.

A quick look on the settings page revealed the answer: The system recognized the dongle but said that the driver for it was unavailable, meaning I couldn't use it. I thought I had a dead USB port, or perhaps the dongle itself wasn't working properly. When I first inserted the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (it's quite a long name isn't it?) into the USB port and pressed its button, I didn't see the small light blinking.
