Xbox Controllers aren't working on Windows 10 Computer

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to use Xbox controller on your computer. We would like to know were you able to connect the Xbox controller to the computer earlier.



I would suggest you to try using a different port to connect the controller and see if that works.



However, as you have mentioned that when you try to update the driver through Device Manager, you get the message that “Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them”, we can try installing alternate
drivers.



Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Right click on the Xbox controller driver and select
   Update Driver.
   
3. Select Browse my computer for Driver Software.
   
4. In the next screen, select Let me pick from a list of available drivers.
   
5. Check the box Show Compatible Hardware and select the driver.
   
6. Click on Yes if you get any prompt.
   

However, I would also suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Error: “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access
a USB external hard drive. except Method 1 and 2 and check if that helps in resolving the issue.



Let us know how it goes.



Regards,

Microsoft scammers

Yes, that should be enough.

Probably you saw something similar to what is described here:
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-your-computer-has-been-locked-popup-scam

All these kind of pop ups are fake alerts. Your PC is NOT infected.

Do NOT call the phone-number which is displayed in that fake alert.

It leads to scammers who try to trick you into giving them access to your computer, to steal your passwords etc and to sell you their unneeded services etc.

Please carefully read the following article which explains in detail how to get rid of such pop ups and what to do if you keep on seeing them:
