    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.

    :)

    Hello SubieTY,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Initially, we need to pair the device to show up in the list while connected through Bluetooth. Check with the below mentioned steps and see if it works.

    XBOX One Controller Triggers Not Resposive (On PC)

    Hi Cruxin,

    An outdated controller is one of the potential reasons why your Xbox One controller triggers do not work. For me to properly assist you with this concern, I need to collect more information. Kindly answer the questions below:

    • When did the issue start?
    • Were you able to use the controller without any issues before?
    • Have you tried using the controller on a different computer?

    In the meantime, I suggest that you update your Xbox One controller. To do this, you may follow the steps on the link below:
