Windows 10: Xbox 360 peripherals missing 2022

I bought a xbox 360 receiver to play some games and after trying to setup everything, the "xbox 360 peripherals" is missing. Instead of it there is only "xbox peripherals". And no, when I try to update drivers there is no such option as "xbox 360 peripherals".I am using Windows 10 pro version 21H2. Been surfing the web for 8hours. Its getting frustrating. Anyone knows that would actually work?

Windows 10 x64 Pro Missing Xbox 360 Peripherals

I am trying to install my Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless adapter on my Windows 10 x64 PC. This is a MADDENING experience. I've tried multiple forums and websites and nothing works. The Xbox 360 peripheral suite seems to be missing and I cannot seem to reinstall
it. Windows is up to date.

1) The device worked perfectly on Windows 8 x64

2) I have tried multiple USB ports 2,0 and 3.0 none work , but the light come on...so it's getting power.

3) Windows says it is unrecognized and failed authentication.

4) I cannot force drivers to install....it just won't let me do it.

5) I do not see any Xbox 360 Peripheral suite on my PC. Nor can I find it at Microsoft.

As mentioned...I have watched numerous video, forums, etc....everyone seems to be able to locate Xbox 360 peripherals....I cannot.

Please help.

If you have this driver installed it should show at the bottom of Device Manager (Hidden... Why ?)

as XBOX 360 Peripherals and be listed in Programs and Features under Microsoft XBOX 360 accessories.
