    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 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?

    :)

    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.

    I have the same receiver.

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