Windows 10: I always need to replug my 360 controller after a restart

Hello! Please take note, this problem only happens with the 360 controller and no other device. After a cold-boot or restart, I ALWAYS have to replug my 360 controller behind my PC case. It only happens after a cold-boot or a restart. Even when I switch to different USB ports or try different devices in the same USB port, no matter how much I swap devices around and no matter what USB port I use, this only happens to my 360 controller. I do not think it is a hardware problem because when I unplug and plug the controller back into any port, it starts working again and is FULLY functional IN

Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

Hi Stephan,

There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
• Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
• Have you tried to update the controller?
• Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this

XBox 360 Controller flashing, not working

My controller is constantly flashing and not being able to do anything. The drivers are installed and in the device manager it includes: "Xbox 360 peripherals: Xbox 360 wireless controller via Play & Charge kit" I've tried uninstalling, disabling, replugging,
restarting, and other things but when i try to turn it on it just flashes.

 

Xbox 360 Wired Controller

Hi,

The drivers for Xbox 360 Controllers are automatically installed on Windows 10. If your Xbox 360 wired controller is not detected by your PC, try plugging it into a different USB port, and then test it again.

We also suggest that you install all the critical and important updates on your computer by following the steps on this

link.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
