Windows 10: Xbox 360 controller wireless receiver driver update doesn't work

Hi,

I hope somebody can help me, I couldn't find a solution for my problem on the internet. I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 embedded last week and was in the process to reinstall software and games.


I'm not a big gamer these days so that's why I liked to play with my old wireless Xbox 360 controller from time to time, since I don't use the console anymore. For this purpose I also have the Xbox 360 receiver plugged to my PC. The whole set up was working fine until I did the update. Afterwards when I started a Game the controller was not being picked up. The receiver is a third party product and that's normal as much as I remember.


So I went into Device Manager > Other devices >Unknown device > right clicked Update driver >Browse my computer for drivers > Let me pick from a list... >Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version v.10.0.19... first later tried 2.1.0.13.... So I get the warning, where I clickyes to install it anyway and then I get the message Windows has successfully updated your drivers and I can see the little Xbox 360 controller Icon and all. Here is wheremy problem starts because the driver was not installed. It refuses to install it somehow. I tried restarting it and all but the device still is shown without a driver.


Driver Status before and after the driver update is: No drivers are installed for this device.


I'm out of my depth here. The whole set up was working before I installed the new OS and I haven't moved anything. I checked different forums, for different versions of the driver, on the amazon page of the product if something has changed and the comments of the most known installation video on YouTube. Nobody except me seems to have the problem.



This is what the Event Viewer gives me:

Device USB\VID_045E&PID_0291\5&e658374&0&1 was configured.



Driver Name: null

Class Guid: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

Would really appreciate it if somebody could help me!
