Windows 10: Wired Xbox 360 Controller no longer working after Windows Update

Good morning,


Last night I shutdown my Windows 10 PC and carried out the most recent update.


This morning I am no longer able to use my wired controller. I checked the drivers and normally I have Xbox 360 peripheral drivers installed. I followed the usual process to select the driver from a list and found that the xbox 360 drivers no longer exist. The only option is Xbox One drivers which do not work.


Tried downloading and installing all available xbox apps, driver packager for Win 7 64bit, even tried uninstalling the update and none of these worked.

:)

Wired XBOX 360 controller problem

When I plug my wired XBOX 360 Windows controller into my Dell XPS 13 which has only two USB ports, it no longer works or lights up. DON'T suggest anything driver-related, because the controller doesn't even try to install new drivers when I reconnect it
after I deleted its drivers from my laptop. PLEASE HELP ME
