Where Does the Xbox Accessories App Store Profiles?
Xbox Accessories keeps up to 256 controller configs in the app and selected profiles on Elite and Adaptive controllers.
Last updated
Xbox Accessories stores mappings in two layers. The app itself holds up to 256 configurations: button remaps, stick curves, trigger dead zones, vibration, and Copilot pairings. Elite Series 2 and Adaptive controllers add a hardware layer, with slots on the pad for the profiles you want everywhere.
The local state sits in the Store package folder, which is awkward to copy by hand and pointless to try. Signing into the same Microsoft account on a new PC restores the library. For tournaments, slot the key profiles onto the controller itself so a foreign PC needs no setup at all.

Store app state. Copying by hand is unsupported; sign in with the same Microsoft account to restore. Slot tournament profiles onto Elite or Adaptive hardware so they travel.
Frequently asked questions
Do my profiles follow the controller to Xbox?
No, and that is the point of Elite and Adaptive pads. Profiles saved to the controller travel with it to consoles and other PCs. App-only configs stay on the PC where you made them, so slot the important ones onto the hardware.
How do I move profiles to a new PC?
There is no supported file to copy. The app is a Store package with its state in the package folder, and mappings also sync through your Microsoft account. Sign in on the new PC and the configs come back, which beats digging in WindowsApps.
