Windows 10: Xbox one controller works on windows 10 but not windows 11?

I have 2 Xbox one controllers. One works fine on windows 11 while the other doesn't. I got curious one day and decided to see if my controller connects wired to my windows 10 laptop and it does! I think it's probably a driver issue. Does anyone have a way that I can update the drivers so they're compatible?

Xbox One Controllers not working on Windows 10 PC.

Hi,

One possible reason as to why your Windows 10 device can't detect the controller is due to outdated device drivers. We suggest checking if there are updates available for the controller and your Windows 10 PC. Refer to the following links for the steps:

• How to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10
• How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10

Another solution we recommend is to run the Windows troubleshooter for devices and driver. This can help resolve issues with connecting a device on Windows 10.
See How to use Microsoft easy fix solutions and look for Find
and fix problems with devices and hardware.

If the same issue occurs, kindly perform the following steps to manually add the controller:

• Go to Settings.
• Select Devices.
• Select Connected Devices.
• If the controller is not listed under Other devices, kindly click Add a device. Follow the on-screen prompts to manually add the device.
  
• Restart your computer so that the changes can take effect.

Keep us posted with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.
