    Xbox 360 wired USB controller not working but connecting


    So I am trying to use a Xbox 360 Wired USB controller, I plug it in, the PC recognizes that and gives that little tone, but I get no notification of the drivers being installed. According to Microsoft it is supposed to happen automatically with windows 10. The controller itself says its connected because the top left green light is on and not flashing. When I try to use the remote in a game or in the Xbox app nothing works and it is not recognized. I also checked USB devices and nothing is listed, but it might just be because remotes don't show in there. Is there anything I can do to get the thing to actually work on the PC or is this a lost cause.

    :)

    Hi,

    The drivers for Xbox 360 Controllers are automatically installed on Windows 10. If your Xbox 360 wired controller is not detected by your PC, try plugging it into a different USB port, and then test it again.

    We also suggest that you install all the critical and important updates on your computer by following the steps on this

    link
    .

    Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reply to this post anytime.

    Xbox 360 Wired Controller

    Thank you for your response. We would like to verify if you have tried to plug the controller into a different USB port on your computer.

    The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows needs a powered USB port. If the controller is not working correctly, try changing it to a different USB port. Avoid using USB hubs or the front ports on a PC. Unpowered hubs or ports might not provide enough power
    to the controller. For best results, plug the controller into another USB port on the back of the computer.

    Typically, the ports on the back of a computer are powered ports. Ports on the front of the computer may not be powered ports. An external USB hub doesn’t provide powered ports if it doesn’t have its own separate power supply or AC adapter.

    Since the issue started after an update, you can uninstall Windows Updates from your computer by following the steps below:

    • Click Start and go to Settings.
    • Go to Update & security.
    • Under the Check for updates button, click Update History.
    • Select Uninstall updates.
    • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    This process will only allow you to remove updates that Windows has installed since installing the previous build.

    Make sure that your controller is calibrated by following the steps on this
    link
    .

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.
