Windows 10: Xbox One controller not recognised by windows 10 PC

Hi. When I plug in and turn on an xbox controller to the powered USB slot in my PC, it vibrates and the xbox light flashes, but beyond that, nothing happens. It doesn't work, obviously.

Here's what I've done:

Run the device troubleshooter

Use every single USB port

Manually triggered the Xbox Accessory manager to run in services.msc


The controller also doesn't show up in the device manager. My controller is model 1697. Any help appreciated. thanks

:)

 

Need HELP with XBOX controller for PC

Hi, I have a Mad Catz Xbox controller (with cord)...

I have a hard time using it with certain PC games because most games expect me to use a XBOX 360 controller where as this one is not 100% like a xbox 360 controller...

It has 4 buttons on the right (same as 360)
It has 2x triggers
It has 2 thumbsticks
2x small buttons on the left and 2x small buttons on the right
but it has NO BUMPERTS (like RB and LB)

For some reason, windows doesn't seem to recognise the two TRIGGERS like buttons... when I press them, I get a X axis flash instead of a button lighting up...

Can someone give me some step by step so I can use it and configure it to my liking...
Right now I'm trying to use it to play Assassin's creed revelations on my PC

It's possible that the the update services are not running well with Windows 10, that's why the controller doesn't work even when you have tried installing different drivers for the device. We'd like to collect more information to help you correct the problem.
