Troubleshooting Xbox One Controller Connection Issues on PC
If you’re experiencing issues with your PowerA Xbox One controller not working on your PC, there are a few solutions you can try.
First, make sure you have the necessary PC drivers installed. You can do this by opening the Device Manager and checking under the “Xbox Peripherals” category. If you don’t see the controller driver listed, you may need to update it manually.
To update the driver, right-click on the controller in the Device Manager and select “Update Driver Software.” Choose the option to search automatically for updated driver software.
If that doesn’t work, try using a different USB cable or connecting the controller to a different USB port on your PC.

If none of these solutions work, there may be a problem with the controller itself. You can try connecting it to a different computer to see if it works there. If it doesn’t, you may need to contact PowerA for further assistance or consider getting a replacement controller.
