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

    Not sure, but I can tell you it worked with my Xbox One wireless controller and my Elite v2, which were both having issues after the firmware update. So, if your specific controller is having issues after a firmware "update" it shouldn't hurt to try it.

    Guys, i have a solution. I figured out that it was the controller firmware update that screwed things up, so what you wanna do is

    1.- Install xbox accesories from the microsoft store

    2.-go to file explorer

    3.-click on "this pc"

    4.-click above where it says -this pc-

    5.- paste in the following command: xboxaccessories:\firmwareupdate?legacyDowngrade=true

    That will allow you to roll back the firmware from your pc! Just make sure the controller is connected with usb

    This fixed my issue 100%. Thank you for this.

    The "updated" firmware is junk.

    Microsoft, please FIT IT.

    I tried this, unfortunately the accessories app just says "no controller connected via USB yet I can SEE the controller in the background... And when it does decide to recognize it for the command it says it is already up to date. Im over this ****. I worked perfectly fine a few months ago when I last tried it. At this point I've had less trouble with the Dual Sense Playstation 5 controllers on windows. They operate perfectly fine both wired and wirelessly.

    Every time I do this, it just rolls back to Bluetooth LE XINPUT compatible input device once I restart.

    I even went into System > Advanced System Settings and disabled automatic driver installation. Still automatically set it up as LE XINPUT.

    This is official Microsoft Hardware, this is a joke. The generic third party controllers I bought prior to this all detected as XBOX ONE WIRELESS CONTROLLERS just fine.

    Ok got a fix, well kind of if you are using steam. In steam go to view\setting\controller\general controller settings. In general controller settings you will notice that xbox configuration support is probably turned off, turn this on. Once it is turn on the controller should start working normally like a xbox controller. This work for me in FF14.
