Windows 10: Xbox Controllers aren't working on Windows 10 Computer

I'm trying to use an Xbox controller on my computer, I've tried 2 controllers and neither of them are doing anything after I plug them in, and they both work fine on Xbox. Inside of the device manager it says that they have an incorrect driver but when I try to update it tells me "Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them." then "Xbox Gaming Device" under it.
