  1. 360 controller for windows appears as controller after uninstall


    So my 360 controller decided to go into player 2 online mode, made it real annoying when i was trying to play some games with a few exceptions and would only go back to player one when i reset my PC. So decided to uninstall my drivers but when i go to devices and printers it shows as controller and not xbox 360 controller for windows. Dunno if it might affect it or not but still i would have thought Windows 10 would automatically detect it as a 360 controller and not just some random one? It does appear as xbox 360 peripherals and xbox 360 controller for windows in device manager as well as under HID as HID-compliant game controller. Windows 1809 soon to be 2004 hopefully.

    :)

  2. Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

    Hi Stephan,

    There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
    of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

    • Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
    • Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
    • Have you tried to update the controller?
    • Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this

  3. Xbox 360 Wired Controller

    Thank you for your response. We would like to verify if you have tried to plug the controller into a different USB port on your computer.

    The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows needs a powered USB port. If the controller is not working correctly, try changing it to a different USB port. Avoid using USB hubs or the front ports on a PC. Unpowered hubs or ports might not provide enough power
    to the controller. For best results, plug the controller into another USB port on the back of the computer.

    Typically, the ports on the back of a computer are powered ports. Ports on the front of the computer may not be powered ports. An external USB hub doesn’t provide powered ports if it doesn’t have its own separate power supply or AC adapter.

    Since the issue started after an update, you can uninstall Windows Updates from your computer by following the steps below:

    • Click Start and go to Settings.
    • Go to Update & security.
    • Under the Check for updates button, click Update History.
    • Select Uninstall updates.
    • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    This process will only allow you to remove updates that Windows has installed since installing the previous build.

    Make sure that your controller is calibrated by following the steps on this

    .

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

    Thank you for responding...

    -No I have not used A Xbox 360 controller.

    -When I enter a game, it says that the

    "Controller that you are currently using(Xbox 360 for Windows) is not supported. Some features may not be available". Only a game called Payday 2 doesn't flash up with a message similar to that.

    -I've downloaded the Xbox Accessories app and connected via USB and it recognized it as an Xbox One Controller and then I tried to update the controller but it says that their are no updates available.

    -And no im not using the Xbox One Epite controller. Im using the Xbox One Controller+Cable for Windows.
