Wie Arstechnica.com berichtet, gibt es nach dem Anniversary-Update von Windows 10 offenbar Verbindungsprobleme mit Xbox-One-Controllern. Ein Grund dafür sollen die neuen Bluetooth-Controller der schlankeren Konsole Xbox One S sein: "Manche Spiele erkennen nicht mehr, wenn Xbox-One-Controller per Bluetooth oder mit dem offiziellen Xbox-One-Wireless-Adapter verbunden werden. Andere Spiele sowie Steams Big-Picture-Modus registrieren einen einzelnen Xbox-One-Controller als zwei gleichzeitig benutzte Controller."

Des Weiteren soll das Anniversary-Update einige Homebrew-Workarounds für Third-Party-Controller unbrauchbar gemacht haben. Außerdem könne allgemein nur noch ein Bluetooth-Controller gleichzeitig mit einem Windows-10-PC verbunden werden. Hier eine Zusammenfassung der Probleme, aufgrund derer das Magazin die Deinstallation des Updates empfiehlt:

"Another issue is less likely to receive an update: the new Xbox One controllers' Bluetooth support is severely limited. As in, only one pad can be connected via Bluetooth at once.

Microsoft isn't advertising this limitation, but an official Xbox Support page confirms it: you can only connect one Bluetooth pad to a Windows 10 PC at a time, and those Bluetooth pads require running on Windows 10 with the Anniversary update. If you want to use more wireless Xbox One pads on a single PC, you'll need to purchase the official Xbox One wireless adapter. Otherwise, don't rush out and buy a bunch of updated Xbox One pads expecting them to sync up to any laptop for the sake of wild, on-the-go multiplayer sessions of Push Me Pull You or Towerfall: Ascension.

The situation gets worse. Your sole Bluetooth controller won't even function in Windows 10's Anniversary update until you update the controller's firmware, which users aren't told when they connect the pads. Instead, users must manually find and install the Xbox Accessories app from the Windows Store. Boot that with the Xbox One pad connected via Bluetooth, and you'll then get the prompt to update the pad's firmware. The new Xbox One controller does not include instructions to this effect, possibly because Xbox One consoles automate this process in a way that Windows 10 PCs do not.

Until Microsoft announces an update to these controller-based woes, the gaming geeks at Ars recommend that you avoid the Anniversary update. If you've already updated and want to return to the "it just works" days of XInput support on wireless controllers, toggle to the "revert to your previous install of Windows" option, which isn't hard to find in the options menus."
