Windows 10: Xbox And PC Drivers

Has anyone noticed old drivers not being picked up by win 10 as standard or even using updates,.


Old Xbox Camera Drivers for example are not, yet if you download them from the windows.catalogue and install via right click of the .inf file they work and install.


Now I know it is due to the driver being old and windows doing a overhaul of everything pretty much in windows ten.


I would like to collate a list here if any have experienced similar, just to help others .


Thanks

:)

How to make Xbox Wireless Adapter for Win 10 work now that driver is dead.

Hi,

You can connect your Xbox One Controller to a Windows PC either by using a cable or wirelessly. However, to play Xbox games on your PC, your controller must be connected via micro-USB cable.

Many PC games let you play with an Xbox One Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. The Xbox One Controller can be quickly and easily installed on any PC that has an available USB port and is running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7.

Note This information applies only to the Xbox One Controller. For help with other gamepads or joysticks, or for information on configuring a specific game so that you can play it with a controller, refer to the manufacturer’s website or
support center.

For Windows 10, the most current drivers are pre-installed with the operating system and are automatically updated through the Xbox Accessories app. See

Update your Xbox One Controller.

I suggest you to follow the steps below to update network adapter driver from the device manager and check.

Method 1: I suggest you to
uninstall the network adapter
driver from the device manager by following the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows key + X keys on the keyboard and click on
  Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand the Network adapter driver from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and click on Uninstall
  option.
  
• 
  Restart the PC to install the network adapters automatically and check if the changes are effective.
  

Method 2: If the issue persist, I suggest you to
update the network adapter driver from the device manager by following the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows key + X keys on the keyboard and click on
  Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand the Network adapter driver from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and click on Update
  option.
  
• 
  Restart the PC to install the network adapters automatically and check if the changes are effective.
