Xbox One Controller buttons don't response after being inactive for about 10 mins

[LoppyDuck]

Hey I use a Xbox One Controller (the one with bluetooth).... I use it on my pc running Windows 10 Pro with a 3rd party bluetooth dongle.... so the problem is whenever I go afk or don't press any buttons on my controller for like 10-15 minutes it turns off itself, I know it's normal but after this when I turn it on again and connect via bluetooth the controller connects but doesn't respond.... I tried pressing every single button none of them work except the xbox button, it only open the xbox game bar.... So if I want to use my controller again I have to restart my pc every single time! this is so annoying! is there any solution to this?

Try to disable Bluetooth and re enable Bluetooth. I find that Bluetooth on Windows 10 is meh at best. Had many issues with my Bluetooth headset that I bought a wired gaming headset for my PC and use Bluetooth exclusively with my Mac.

I second this, Bluetooth is awful on Windows. (only other OS i use it on is Android and thats ok).
It lacks drivers, most USB dongles lack proper profiles etc.

If i connect my headset (stereo output only) and my controller that both lag like crazy while they dont on their own. (on phone works perfectly fine).

But this is all not very helpful.

 

You might be able to get a better Bluetooth experience using built in BT from a wifi card (like lots of notebooks use).

Or just a different USB BT dongle. I've tried like 5-6 or so among also that Asus one, and found the best use for me (mostly PS4 controller) is a Trust branded one.

(But i have to use a very good extension cable and put it just above my keyboard to not have range issues..

 

Hope this is a bit of info that can help you out. Besides what @Donut417 said ofcourse.

Yeah I tried disabling bluetooth and then re-enable it.... it didn't work then I unpluged the dongle then tried again... still didn't work  do I have to change the dongle now?

If you change the dongle buy the Microsoft one. Because it uses a proprietary wireless standard that should work better than Bluetooth. Or plug the controller in to the computer, that’s what I do.
