Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

HOW TO: Use your Xbox One Controller on PC

The Xbox One Wireless Controller can work with your PC if you download one of the following driver packages:
PC drivers for Xbox One Controller (x86) 
PC drivers for Xbox One Controller (x64).

These drivers are compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.

Note For your controller to work with your PC, it needs to be connected using a micro-USB cable. It will not work wirelessly with your PC. 

After you install the drivers on your PC, connect your Xbox One wireless controller to a powered USB port on your PC using a standard micro-USB cable. When you do, the controller will vibrate to let you know that it's connected.

Note To use your Xbox One controller with your console after using it with a PC, you must re-sync the controller to the console. You can do this by using the wireless sync button or a USB cable. For details, see Connect a wireless Xbox One controller to your console.

If you want to use an Xbox 360 Controller with your PC, you can use an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. Or, you can use an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller together with an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows.
