xbox series x controller via bluetooth not recognized in games

***SOLUTION***

Very simple fix guys. I was having the same issue as most of you here - Xbox controller connected and recognised but not working.

Follow the below steps;

1. Make sure the latest Windows update has installed and isn't pending etc.
2. Unpair your Xbox controller from your bluetooth settings
3. Plug controller in to PC via USB cable
4. Download and launch Xbox Accessories app
5. You will see a message on Xbox Accessories saying that an update is required for the controller
6. Click the the update required button
7. One update is complete re connect your Xbox controller via bluetooth 
8. Done

Thanks, the whole thing was hiding in pending updates. That I paused a week ago. 

Bluetooth adapter was recognizing the controller as the 2006 something-something, and after I updated OS to the 19041.685 build everything was on point.

So, if someone is still struggling with this problem - Make sure, that your OS Build (win+r → winver) is 19041.685 or higher.

I've been trying to get Dragon Age Inquisition to work with my XBSX controller but it just does not want to unless I use the cord. Seems that bluetooth is the issue -- I noticed that, in device manager, there are two types of XINPUT device entries, one for "LE" and the normal one. I suspect that bluetooth LE is the issue, but how to revert it to normal XINPUT?

Sorry been off taking a break, i gathered that most of the compatibility issues is related to the bluetooth hardware. A guy on my youtube site today, said he got it to work by changing the BT to use 4.0 dongle, instead of BT 5.0.

I do not know how to revert to normal XINPUT, under my computer the XBSX controller runs under bluetooth LE.

It depends on which games so far i had one game Elite Dangerous which only works with Mouse and Keyboard not XBSX controller. I guess Elite Dangerous has too many keystokes commands for it not to work under the XBSX controller.

Good luck dude.

Thanks to Renan Spinella one of my good buddy from the DumDumTech youtube channel.

He purchased a generic "CSR 4.0" dongle.  https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51zSnoh1c6L.\_AC\_SX466\_.jpg

It's cheap. from amazon.

This solves 100% the issue.

My bluetooth device isn't Intel, There is Realtek Bluetooth Adapter 4.2

What should i do?

I won't be able to be much help much as not familiar with Realtek Bluetooth Adapter 4.2 drivers.

Update to the latest windows, xbox accessories app firmware and Realtek drivers.

The options are not great at the moment.

Unless someone knows if there is a cheap bluetooth adapter to buy.

There are alternatives adapters but will cost £20
