Windows 10: I Accidentally Disabled Xbox Wireless Adapter Driver

I own an Xbox Wireless Adapter for my Windows 10 PC and my audio drivers were broken so I suspected that if I update the adapter's drivers then that might fix the issue but I accidentally pressed "Disable Device" instead of "Update Drivers". Is there any way to fix this?BTW I have a Stealth 700 Gen 2 and that's why I thought it was the adapter issue.
