Windows 10: Xbox 360 Wireless Reciever driver issue

Hey Guys. Bought one of these recently, unbeknownst to me the minefield of fuckery involved.I believe Windows are trying to terminate Receivers, as to encourage Xbox One accessories. The Receiver was purchased from CeX (Tech Refurb chain store) and they probably screwed with it too lol.

Here's my unique problem - once plugged in, I do NOT get a "CODE 28 - unknown device" like most users.

Instead, the device is mistakenly recognised as "Xbox Wired Controller". Not a Receiver. When I press the single Sync button on it, it opens the Xbox overlay thing, as if it were a controller. Steam also recognises it as a gamepad (big picture prompt).

As an unofficial third party receiver, it firstly needs a driver update. Because it's already recognised as an Xbox accessory (unfortunately the wrong one); I am presented with a limited list of driver options from device manager.

The drivers I need (2019, 2009) have code which references a different Hardware ID (Pid_0719) to my Receiver (Pid_028E). So after re-downloading them, I must edit the driver in notepad, replacing the old ID with my Knock-off receiver ID. To use the edited, unsigned driver, I'm running Windows in Test Mode. I have also disabled Memory Integrity, as suggested by TarantuloTV fix as it's fairly recent with some great user feedback.

Device Manager recognises it as a Receiver now, but it still behaves like a wired controller. Still flashing, still won't sync to controller, still showing the Xbox overlay.

Most users' knock-off Reciever has an Id of Pid_0291. My issue, I think, is that MY Hardware ID Pid_028E is literally the same ID as the official Xbox Wireless/Wired controller. And Pid_028E is now being shared between two separate devices in my driver's code. I've tried renaming the clashing reference as "Pid_028ECLASH" to avoid confusion. Still nothing.

I'm a little lost now. But as it does communicate with my computer as a gamepad, I don't see why it wouldn't work with more tweaking. I have hope.

Any suggestions?

Xbox 360 controller wont connect to wireless reciever

Greetings,

i've got my pc wireless reciever in the mail today so i can play video games on my computer while using the xbox 360 controller. 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




and this is the driver i've installed




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?

Thanks for the respond, i'm trying to connect it by pressing the button on the reciever that makes the light flash on and off, than i quickly press the sync button on the controller. After doing that the controller lights makes circles but after a few second its just starts flashing on and off.


EDIT : my driver information is identical to the two pictures you have posted.
