    I have a tp-link UB400 nano USB adapter that I am trying to use to pair an xbox one controller to my PC using Windows 10.
    The adapter is working (I have the Bluetooth icon in my notification area, which I have it turned on and set to discoverable, when I go to add a device via it, my controller shows up in the discoverable devices, but when I go to pair it, it sits there until it times out and says that the connection failed.... and if I try to add a Bluetooth device through Windows it says that there is nothing there to connect.

    It says that for Windows 8/8.1/10 its plug and play which had the above results, so I installed the driver manually from the website to the same results.

    So what step did I miss?
    Thank you.

    Just a thought......Is your xbox one on the same subnet as your win10 PC?
    Check that both devices are on the same network (you may have to enter the xbox IP addy manually in the xbox app (your running the latest app, yes?)

    If your network adaptor allows dual freq, make sure your SSID (network name) is NOT shared for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks.

    A) Yes, just made sure.
    B) Yes, just made sure.
    I followed the instructions on the C&T guide you had posted, yes my controller matches the bottom picture (X is surrounded by plastic separate from the shoulder buttons. When I push the button on top for it to enter into pairing mode ( the X flashes) "Add a device" instantly goes to https://ibb.co/ZY4d3PM and if I click the Bluetooth icon in my notification area and try and add a device there, it detects the Xbox controller, but when I go to pair, it says it's pairing for about a minute then ends up showing me https://ibb.co/CbXJhHk which makes me feel like I'm missing something.

    My apologies, this is just an Xbox one controller that I a m trying to pair with my PC, no Xbox system involved.

    I think maybe then it's a Bluetooth incompatibility, maybe.. It may be worth grabbing one of these as they're quite cheap.

    Update:

    I tried it in an open port on the back of my motherboard and it works fine.... I assume it was an issue with it going through my front USB header (Not sure why though) , but none the less it works now. Thank you guys for the assistance.

    First thought was bluetooth stack, but it's an MS device. Is your front header directly plugged into a system board header port, or into a header expander?
