Wireless: Press the Xbox button and hold down the sync button (located at the top of the controller) for three seconds to pair your controller wirelessly. Then select "Bluetooth" under "Devices & connections" in your console's settings. Select your controller from the list of available devices, then press "A" to complete pairing.

Troubleshoot common problems and solutions

If you're having trouble connecting to Xbox Remote Play, there are a few things you can do: First of all, make sure your computer and Xbox One are connected to the same cable. If they don't, you have no chance of dating. Second, try restarting your PC and Xbox One at the same time. That sometimes solves association problems. Third, if you're really having trouble, try connecting your PC directly to the Xbox One with an Ethernet cable. This ensures the best possible connection between the two devices.

Fourth, consider unplugging any wireless devices you may be using, such as headphones or other peripherals. They occasionally have the ability to obstruct the Xbox One and PC's connection.

The Xbox One itself may be the problem if you're still having difficulties connecting. On your console, navigate to Settings then System go to Updates to check for updates. Install any updates that are available before trying again
