wireless xbox 360 controller adapter for windows

Hi MI kid05,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues connecting your Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter to Windows 10 computer. We will certainly help you with this issue.

Usually, we see the “Unknown Device” if the drivers are not installed correctly by Windows on plug and play devices.

You may want to check connecting the adapter to a different port and check.

Also, make sure that your Windows is up to date with the latest updates.

Meanwhile, we can try and install the drivers manually and check.

Method 1: Uninstall and re-install drivers manually.

1. Go to Search and type Device Manager and open Device Manager.
2. Right click on “Unknown Device” and click on
   Properties.
3. In the Driver tab click on Update Driver
4. Click on the option that says “Browse my computer for driver software”.
5. Select the option “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
6. Check the list for Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version:….”
7. Click on “Yes” if you get the prompt.

If the issue persists, please try the steps mentioned in Troubleshoot
the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

Can't download driver for Windows 10 Xbox 360 wireless adapter

I just recently got a Xbox 360 wireless adapter for my computer. But, when trying to download the driver to make the Xbox 360 controller compatible with the computer, the installation directs me to https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/downloads I know what I need to do so I find something that says Xbox Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows. So I click on it and it says it can't find the page I'm looking for I searched all the other devices under Gaming Devices and most of them are no there. How can I install the driver for the Xbox 360 adapter when it is not even there. Also there is no way I'm downloading potentially a dangerous "driver" from other websites. How can I through Microsoft download this driver I need for my Xbox 360 controller to work on my PC?

 

Xbox wireless adapter won't install driver on one machine BUT install with no problems on another

Hi Paul,

It seems that the trouble has something to do with the computer itself but let us isolate the issue first. Please answer the following questions:

• Which Xbox controller are you trying to connect to your PC? Is it Xbox One or Xbox 360?
  
• Were you able to hear any sound when connecting the wireless adapter to the PC?
  
• Are you seeing any exclamation point or question mark symbol when you check the Device Manager?
  

In the meantime, we suggest updating the USB and chipset drivers.

Looking forward to your response.
