Secondly this was able to get my 2.4GHz adapter to be powered and linked to my steamdeck, however the moment I left desktop mode(Which I was in, in order to run the script) I was no longer able to get the adapter to turn on like I could moments before. I went back to desktop mode ran the script and it worked again. Left desktop, and again no longer worked.

Hi, can you please share a link to the 2.4GHz adapter you used? I'm not having success with mine (Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10). Did you get it to work? (I'm on 3.4.11)

Hi there,

Recently this script has stopped working with a multitude of issues. is there something I am doing wrong?

This script will install the xone and xpad-noone drivers for the Xbox wireless dongle and controller

@kmassop If you are having issues I would recommend trying SavageCore's fork of the script as this one is a bit out-dated. Based on the comments in there I think there have been issues reportedly recently for it as well, but I believe it has been updated since then and should hopefully work now. Best of luck!
