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 https://www.xbox.com/nl-NL/accessories/adapters/wireless-adapter-windows


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?

But it is not connecting, i've downloading the driver on the pc wireless reciever trough the windows "Search on my computer for drivers" option. But no succes yet. The light on the controller just keeps flashing with no connection what so ever. Any help is really appreciated

This is the one i've recieved

I have tested to see if the controller was broken, but its not since it does connect to my xbox 360 slim without an issue.

I have the same receiver.

Do you see the receiver show up in Device Manager? How are you trying to pair the controller?
