WiinUPro and Windows won't detect my WiiU Pro Controller #89

Hi, i got a problem I installed WiinUPro and tried to connect my wii U pro controller to WiinUPro. But... It didn't detect the controller. So I tried to pair the controller with Windows Bluetooth settings, and even this doesn't recognize the controller, it don't even shows a bluetooth device. My bluetooth is not broken : i paired another bluetooth device and it worked... Does anybody knows where the problem comes from ?

Sounds like the behavior of a third party Wii U Pro controller.

Oops... Is there a way to know is my controller is a third-party one ?

You could probably check the text on the back to see if it's original

From what I've seen, the 3rd party clones don't have the Wii U logo on the front above the home button.

I'm having the same issue, although my controller did actually connect the first time I used the program (and is definitely a legit Nintendo controller). Thereafter, I got a "Failed to pair" error in WiinUSoft so I removed the controller from Windows Bluetooth Manager, and now I can't pair it at all from either WiinUSoft or WIndows itself.

EDIT: OK, I got it working using this solution. Reinstalling WiinUSoft and choosing "Install Everything" also seemed to help.
