Windows 10: How to set X-BOX 360-controller as gaming device 1?

Hello.
After cleaninstall windows 10, I have got a strange problem with my USB X-BOX 360-controller. If I plug it in right after boot, it shows as device 1, but if I use the mouse or have attached my G29 wheel (and de-attached it again), then when I connect my X-BOX 360-controller it now has no 2 or 3 (randomly), and therefore the settings in my games must be changed every time. This was not a problem before this cleaninstall.

Do I need a new driver for my X-BOX 360-controller? Or is there a setting in windows 10 that always can give X-BOX 360-controller no1 (as long as it is the only gamedevice connected).

I have tried different ports and different USB 2 and USB 3, but ONLY if connected right after boot it will get the no 1. (this no can be seen on the X-BOX 360-controller as a little green line at no 1, 2, 3 or 4) I only have the driver build into windows 10, as there was no driver CD along the controller when I got it.

Game controller ID settings

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the update. I understand your concern.

I would suggest you to look for the Devices settings in Control Panel and check if the game controllers are listed. If so, refer to the following steps to alter the settings and check if these are helpful in resolving your issue.

a. Right click on one of your game controllers and click Game Controller Settings. Note where in the list it is. If it is not at the top proceed to the next step.

b. Right click and remove all your other controllers (not the 360/gamepad) and let them reinstall automatically.

c. Once complete right click and check the list again and see if the 360 controller/gamepad is at the top. If so, give the game another try and see if it detects your controller.

If the issue still persists, restart your console and then try to reconnect your controller.

Hope this information is helpful. Please post back your results for further assistance.

 

X-Box 360 controller?

Hi Archonic Energy,

The issue that you are experiencing could be due to a driver conflict. To address your concern, I suggest uninstalling the Xbox 360 controller in Device Manager. Kindly follow the steps in this

X-Box 360 controller?

Hi,

so my Laptop keeps telling me there's an X-Box 360 controller connected to it.

my problem is I own no 360 controllers, I've used a steam controller, a Saitek X-52 flight controller, and a steam link in the past but those are showing as disconnected (which they should be)

any advice would be appreciated as some software defaulting to a controller i don't own.

Thanks,
