Xbox one Controller identified as Bluetooth LE Xinput Device

Hi,

I recenlty got a new controller and went ahead and updated the controller firmware through the XBOX accessories app, after the update however the controller is not recognised as Xbox one controller in Bluetooth mode rather as Bluetooth LE Xinput device.

The issue that concerns me is, that FIFA only allows genuine controllers, and since in Bluetooth mode it is not recognised as genuine the FIFA is not supporting the controller.

I have manually tried changing the driver for this device from device manager but it is not working. I want to know if there is a patch that can fix my controller

identification issues ??

please find the screenshot for reference

    I have the same problem. I calmly played through bluetooth until I connected it by wire and updated the gamepad firmware. Now through bluetooth is not defined as a xbox one controller (xbox accessories see it correctly). The solution with installing the required driver on top does not work, since a reboot is required (nothing works without it), and after a reboot, the driver returns to its place. And again, nothing is determined. Has anyone found a solution? Yes, all the latest updates for Windows 10 and the controller are installed.

    Hi,

    This solution is not credible, as post manually changin the driver on the device manager.

    The computer gets a restart after which we are back to zero. Same situation.

    Either provide a custom patch to this problem or atleast let us downgrade the controller firmware when it was supported, for god sake!!

    I just bought Elite 2 and the problem is FRUSTRATING.
    I will probably need to return it!

    This is a VERY expensive controller, yet MSFT scr*ws us over.

    Unbelievable!

    Trust me the posted solution does not work in windows 10 either.

    Following the 'solution' you are asked to restart the computer and as soon as you do it reverts back to Bluetooth LE XINPUT

    Seems amazing it is easier to connect a Sony PS4 controller to windows than one of Microsofts own devices. Well done MS!
