  1. Wireless Xbox 360 Controller Adapter drivers not installing after Windows 10 Update


    I've been using my wireless xbox 360 controller on my pc for a long time. But ever since I updated my windows 10 I can't seem to install the drivers on the adapter.
    I have also tried using older versions of the drivers and the driver CD that came with the adapter but it just doesn't work.

    Next to this I have also tried to uninstall the driver without success as the device doesn't show up as a controller in the device manager.

    I would really like to be able to use the perfectly fine controllers I still have instead of buying a new one for €60.

    :)

    wireless xbox 360 controller adapter for windows

    Hi MI kid05,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    I understand that you are facing issues connecting your Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter to Windows 10 computer. We will certainly help you with this issue.

    Usually, we see the “Unknown Device” if the drivers are not installed correctly by Windows on plug and play devices.

    You may want to check connecting the adapter to a different port and check.

    Also, make sure that your Windows is up to date with the latest updates.

    Meanwhile, we can try and install the drivers manually and check.

    Method 1: Uninstall and re-install drivers manually.

    1. Go to Search and type Device Manager and open Device Manager.
    2. Right click on “Unknown Device” and click on
      Properties.
    3. In the Driver tab click on Update Driver
    4. Click on the option that says “Browse my computer for driver software”.
    5. Select the option “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
    6. Check the list for Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version:….”
    7. Click on “Yes” if you get the prompt.


    If the issue persists, please try the steps mentioned in Troubleshoot

    Xbox 360 controller wont sync with Wireless adapter for windows 10

    My Xbox 360 controller wont sync with the Wireless adapter for windows 10.

    I have bought just bought the Wireless adapter for windows 10 because to connect my 360 controller to my PC.

    On the microsoft website itself it says it works for "Any" Xbox wireless controller (Xbox draadloze adapter voor Windows 10 | Xbox)

    But for some reason it wont sync with mine.

    Windows 10 is up to date, uninstalled and reinstalled the receiver 2 times already.

    Is there a step that i am missing or doesnt this receiver wont work for all the wireless xbox controllers?

    Wireless Xbox 360 Controller Adapter drivers not installing after Windows 10 Update

    Can't download driver for Windows 10 Xbox 360 wireless adapter

    I just recently got a Xbox 360 wireless adapter for my computer. But, when trying to download the driver to make the Xbox 360 controller compatible with the computer, the installation directs me to https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/downloads I know what I need to do so I find something that says Xbox Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows. So I click on it and it says it can't find the page I'm looking for I searched all the other devices under Gaming Devices and most of them are no there. How can I install the driver for the Xbox 360 adapter when it is not even there. Also there is no way I'm downloading potentially a dangerous "driver" from other websites. How can I through Microsoft download this driver I need for my Xbox 360 controller to work on my PC?
