    Cannot connect XBox 360 Controller to PC (failed installation driver)


    Hello all. I have an issue with my XBox 360 Controller.

    I'm connecting my XBox 360 Controller to PC (windows 10) and installing the driver using Microsoft Update. But driver don't install (Microsoft - Game Devices, Other hardware - XBOX 360 Controller For Windows — error 0x800f0246). When i'm using Xbox
    360 Accessories Software 1.2
    (driver on official microsoft site), in the middle of the instalation, installation is over with error.

    Who can help me? Thanks. P.s. Sorry for my bad english.

    :)

  2. Controller to PC?

    The driver for the official Xbox controller should work; my girlfriend has a third party controller that works just fine on the PC with it. You can download the driver here: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows

    After downloading, install it, and then your controller should be good to go, assuming you're playing a game that has controller support.

    Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver Drivers for Windows 11

    Hi,
    I have an Xbox 360 Slim w/250GB Storage.
    I have a working original Xbox 360 Controller (black), and its driver installation is giving me problems.
    P.S.: I do not have a "Charge & Play" Cable for the Xbox 360 Controller
    But I have a few questions,
    Q1 - Do I still require a Wireless Dongle to connect to the PC even after installing the Driver?
    Q2 - How Do I install/add it as a Driver? Apparently, my PC is not able to recognize it even after troubleshooting.
    Q3 - Will it unpair from my Xbox 360 Slim if I connect it to the PC?

    Connecting Xbox 360 remote to pc windows 10?

    Hi,

    When you say 'remote' I guessing you mean your Xbox 360 controller on your PC?

    Is your 360 controller a wired controller? If you've attempted to connect a wireless controller via a play and charge it won't work as the play and charge doesn't transfer data, it just charges the battery or powers the controller.

    There are no drivers to install on Windows 10 as the drivers for all Xbox controllers are already included in the OS.

    What is al driver? And windows 10 is already their in my laptop.
    Once you connect your controller to your PC, Windows should prompt you to install the drivers.

    If nothing happens, open Store on your PC and install "Xbox Accessories" app. Then connect your Xbox One Controller, and check whether there are any updates. If there are then update the controller.
