Why is my Xbox one controller lagging/slowing down games when using on PC?

dude, can you look up your tv/monitor? it's build and year, brand and stuff? a lot of display units have heinous lag (mine has one) so you can google stuff up or post the details of your tv here. with that said, windows pc does get paired with xbox one but the issue is this...
first of all, your console will send the information to the display unit via tha cable, which takes time since hdmi is digital and not analog like vgas used to be,
secondly, windows will process the data from xbox which will add precious microseconds to the response time, thus making it crappier.
In case you're playing a multiplayer game, the output will also be subject to ping and the strength of your connection. so think of microsoft's pairing feature as an addon but don't use it too much. lemme know if i'm missing something.
Cheers
Ok,This issue has only been present since i upgraded to windows 10,i.e.it is not a hardware deficiency.I have found that when i use a game pad mapper,the lag is not present when the controller is recognised as the keyboard/mouse.However this solution is very glichy and not ideal.
Have you tried it over another device running Win10? Maybe that narrow it down a bit?

I don't have another windows 10 device but it works properly with Windows 8.1

And uninstalling/reinstalling didn't help either?
Yes I have done this and it does not work

The frustrating issue of fluctuating frame rates while gaming on my PC has been baffling me. I’ve experienced significant slowdowns, sometimes even complete freezes, when using Bluetooth controllers – despite having 1080p monitors in each of my PCs and playing the same games with others. The problem seems to be linked to Bluetooth performance; it appears that a sluggish connection from either the PC or controller side negatively impacts FPS. I’ve been investigating potential solutions, including switching back to the non-Bluetooth dongle Microsoft sells and considering their new smaller controller dongle releasing on January 31st, as they may hold the key to resolving this issue. Interestingly, testing with a wired connection dramatically improves FPS, though wireless is my preferred comfort option. The controller itself has also occasionally lost connection, flashing repeatedly even with good battery levels – about ten times I’ve noticed this. Has anyone else observed a correlation between FPS and Bluetooth connectivity problems?
OP, I did notice the same problem as yours. I use a win10 with xbox one usb wireless adapter. All drivers updated.
I also noted that if I start the machine with the wireless adapter already connected, the fps problem simply goes away.
Very strange.
Now when I physically connect the wireless adapter after the startup or when the game is already running, I can see the fps rate diminishing. And it persists even if close and reopen the game application.
For now I'll simply let the wireless adapter permanently connected to my machine. I'll make some tests later. I thought of a conflict with other wireless devices. My router has a Wi-Fi setup.
But I know your struggle.
Sorry I’m late to the party. I need help with mine too. I'm having the same issues for most of my games when I try to use an Xbox one controller. I can definitely see the game chug when I switch to the controller versus when I use mouse and keyboard. It happened on Forza 7 and Witcher 3 especially. Input lag or frame drop it’s too distracting and unplayable. I tried both direct USB connection and Bluetooth and the battery is fully charged as well.
I'm using Windows 10 version 1809 (latest updated) to take advantage of RTX features
Newest NVIDIA driver (latest update) to take advantage of RTX features.
Dell 144hz 1440p monitor on native resolution.
Alienware R4 17 i7 7700hq, 16 gb DDR4 ram, GTX 1070 but with Alienware Graphics Amplifier connecting RTX 2080.
I haven't tried disconnecting my laptop from the alienware graphics amplifier and try running it on its own GPU though since I haven’t had reasons to take my laptop anywhere and it’s a pain in the butt to reconnect again and reinstall the drivers. Prior to having the graphics amplifier with RTX 2080, which I only recently bought this February 2019, and the current Windows 10 version said above, I had no issues.
Same problem here... I think that decrease in FPS happens when the processor is enduring too much strain from the controller and the whole process from recieving data from the controller to the application happening in the game. Which is susceptible to crash due to overload
Same problem I use a wired xbox controller. And a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. It's seems like some kind of sleep or idle setting (I am going to investigate power options on windows settings now). Basically I can play games fine but after minutes I notice the frame rates suddenly drop.... However if I give my Bluetooth mouse a quick wiggle it seems to wake something up and I get the full frame rate again. This happens repeatedly and it fixes the issue, although I have to do it repeatedly which is a temporary annoying fix.
