Controller disconnecting.

[Tamxle]

I bought a controller from a friend cause he got a new one and he had no issue with it. However when I connect to wireless adapter on PC with it, it constantly disconnects every couple minutes. The light stays on as if it is functioning properly but it's not. I have to take out battery, put it back in then turn it on again. Idk what makes it do it cause it doesn't happen all the time. Any suggestions?

Sorry, kinda forgot to include that haha it's an Xbox one controller. Also btw, my controller that I've had before works fine but I got the new one cause I like the look of the white controller better than the black one. The white matches my setup

See if you can use bluetooth with it

Most "new" Xbox 1 controllers have it, if not put the adapter in a different port

If that doesn't work, get a long ass Micro Usb cable

sounds like it could be a driver issue, automatic updates don't seem to work right for me so I had to download it here latest update seems to be from 5/3/2016  version 18.31.1.43
