Windows 10: Device manager says: "Windows has successfully updated your drivers" but nothing changes

A long while ago i bought a wireless reciever for xbox 360 controllers as i wanted to use controllers on my pc.
I've had this device for over a year now and besides from occasionally needing to re-install the drivers for said device, as device manager sometimes doesn't recognize the device anymore, it worked fine.

However recently i have gotten a new pc and for some reason i cannot install the drivers on this device anymore.

I do the same steps as i've always done before, to the point where it says "Windows has successfully updated your drivers", but when i get back the device is still listed as an 'unknown device' with no drivers installed.

All i've tried in order to fix this is the basics: unplugging and replugging the device, restarting my pc, see if installing other drivers works, or a combination of the three.
I have no clue what is going on or how to fix this, so i hope someone can help me with this issue.

device manager drivers/update/fix help

I need help with my drivers as they aren't showing up right in Device manager. I have double or triple entries in some of the categories; I have provided a link or file so that you can see what mine looks like. If anyone could direct me in the right path that would be awesome! I think the reason for my mouse studders/issues and also performance issues in the many games that I play is the reason behind these Drivers. Below is a image that I captured with gyazo that lists my devices.

-BenQ XL2420Z 144hz
-Logitech G403 Prodigy
-Corsair Vengeance K95

-When I fix the drivers that I need will the grayed out devices fix themselves/disappear in Device manager? Also, if/when I get my drivers all squared away and updated.. let's say I have some grayed out devices that are still in those sections.. is it OK to uninstall those or not?

-I also don't have any idea what those Microsoft streaming devices in Sound are!??! Could it be something I need to turn off in BIOS or?

-Lastly, what's the deal with the WAN Miniports?


Thank-you!

 

USB microphone show up under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager

Hi Luke,

We suggest that you update the device driver. You can do that by following these steps:

• 
  Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select
  it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand the category where your device is located, then right-click on the name of your device, and select Update Driver Software.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If updating the device driver doesn't work, we suggest that you reinstall the driver:

• 
  Open Device Manager.
  
• 
  Right-click on the name of the device.
  
• 
  Select Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
