Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your Xbox One Wireless Controller. Xbox One Wireless Controllers may support connecting to your PC via Bluetooth. See How to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10. Periodically Xbox 360 controller may not work on Windows 10 because of the outdated or unmaintained drivers, and if that is the reason, your Xbox 360 controller is not functioning properly, the best way is to uninstall the already existing driver and allow the Windows to install it again. I recently got a wireless adapter to use the Xbox 360 controller with a pc. It's not an official Microsoft one, but a convincing replica and reviewers said it worked after a manual driver installation. I plugged it in, installed the drivers manually (Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version 2.1.0.1349).

Xbox 360 is a gaming console like PlayStation. We can play games with Xbox 360 controllers, these controllers are very comfortable to play with.

  • Then you have to connect that wire to your remote and connect the other end with the USB port of the computer.
  • Now your Windows 10 will detect that an Xbox controller has been connected.
  • After this, the Windows 10 will search for the drivers of the controller in the PC.
  • If there are no drivers installed previously then the windows 10 will start downloading the drivers, you don’t have to worry about the drivers.

On Tuesday Microsoft released its latest patch for Windows 10 (that’s cumulative update 9, patch KB 3140743, bringing us up to Win10 Version 1511 build 10586.122, or Win 10.1.9 by my reckoning). Then yesterday, a hue and cry arose among the Windows 10 gaming community (for a succinct discussion, see the Halo Maps Forum). CU9, it seems, makes Microsoft’s own Xbox One game controller basically unusable.

Now Microsoft’s faced with a tough question, one that will have implications for many Windows 10 users for some time to come. How is it going to fix a problem with its own hardware that was introduced through a forced Win10 cumulative update?

Microsoft’s backed into a corner: It can issue a new cumulative update with a new version of the driver, which seems like smashing ants with a sledgehammer. The company can let it ride and hope the bad publicity doesn’t kill Xbox One controller sales. (A major marketing push appears to be afoot.) Microsoft could fess up, admit to the problem -- even offer a manual solution or a Fixit -- but if it does, how will it get the word out? Perhaps it could pull the entire cumulative update because of this one bug. But if it does pull it, two days later will anybody notice?

Because of the way forced Windows 10 patching works, there’s no easy solution.

In the Windows 7/8.1 sphere, Microsoft would simply release a better driver through Windows Update -- problem solved. What I want to know is how it’ll fix the problem with the new Win10 forced upgrade “as a service” model.

I’ve been talking about this specific problem for more than a year. It’s a foreseeable quandary, one that should’ve been rooted out and fixed a long time ago. Now we’ll see how Microsoft reacts.
