Windows 10: I can't find the xbox 360 peripherals when configuring my drivers

I'm trying to use a pc wireless gaming reciever for xbox 360 controlers, but it gets listed as an unknown device. To fix this I was going to update the driver to the xbox 360 peripherals software, but I'm afraid it's not present in my laptop and I don't know where to find it.Furthermore, my laptop has no cd drive so I'm unable to make use of the installation cd. It would be greatly apreciated if I could given some pointers regarding this.

Can't reinstall xbox 360 controller driver

If you have this driver installed it should show at the bottom of Device Manager (Hidden... Why ?)

as XBOX 360 Peripherals and be listed in Programs and Features under Microsoft XBOX 360 accessories.

Xbox 360 Controller for Windows | Microsoft Hardware

If it is listed in Programs and Features try uninstalling. Reboot and reinstall.

Xbox 360 peripherals missing 2022

I bought a xbox 360 receiver to play some games and after trying to setup everything, the "xbox 360 peripherals" is missing. Instead of it there is only "xbox peripherals". And no, when I try to update drivers there is no such option as "xbox 360 peripherals".



I am using Windows 10 pro version 21H2. Been surfing the web for 8hours. Its getting frustrating. Anyone knows that would actually work?

Hi,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

I understand you're having issues with your purchased XBOX showing up as an XBOX peripheral in the device list instead of an XBOX 360 peripheral.

Judging from the current situation, this device is indeed recognized normally at present, but the name is different.



Perhaps the best way to check that the current settings are working is to start a game and see if it works.

If this doesn't work, we can find a solution together.

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.
