Guys I don’t know if you can help me. I bought a xbox one wireless controller, and I immediately connected it to the PC via a usb cable. The controller works, the problem is that the PC does not seem to “recognize” it. Let me explain, I connect it and i only see the white LED symbol of the xbox, it doesn’t even make the sound of connecting windows. Even if I go into the PC settings I can’t find “safe hardware removal” or in any case there is no trace of the presence of the controller on the PC. When I go to click the xbox button during the MCC the keyboard and pc commands are activated and in general the game begins to bugging completely, black screen, does not come back on windows even if I press the windows button, etc. Solutions? What I don’t understand is that with the same cable I connect a ps4 controller and I play without the slightest problem. I have windows 10 updated to the latest version.
Obviously first you want to try this:
https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/accessories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-setup
afterwards open your device manager (right click the start button on windows 10) and check for “Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows” this will be listed under Network adapters, while your controller if properly synced and turned on will show up under Human Interface Devices as Xbox One Wireless Controller. This should really be as far as you have to go as device manager should show both.
Another place you can check is, in the search box type Control Panel, then looking at it in Large Icon mode, click Devices and Printers, you should see both the adapter and your controller on this screen if both are on and connected to each other. You can access a controller test if you right click the controller, click game controller settings and then properties though Windows has an Xbox accessories app you can download to test your controller and update its firmware.
As far as anything else, most games require the controller to be on and synced before starting the game so if everything above that you want to check is good, it should just be a matter of making sure your controller is on and then start the game
EDIT, you can skip the adapter parts, I read your post wrong but Ill leave the info in, in case someone going full wireless mode and needs help, as far as you just check the controller portions and you should be fine
EDIT 2, also if the computer still doesnt seem to recognize it, try to download the Xbox Accesories app and see if it can detect it.

Thanks so much, I downloaded the xbox accessories app, I did the update and now it should be all right. Here, I just heard the sound of windows telling me that something is connected! For the rest I started the MCC but again, if I press the xbox button on the controller the mouse cursor appears on the screen and the controller “stops working”, that is the xbox smart bar does not open as it opened if I pressed the playstation button on the sony controller. Really weird, but the important thing is that it works! I hope my question helped someone else! 
Basically, however, the problem has not been solved. The controller is still not “recognized” despite having updated drivers with the xbox accessories app. Also I’m noticing that sometimes when I press the “A” key, the command is not taken.
