Cannot find driver download for Xbox One controller for Windows, driver automatically...

Yes Im, let me simplify things down.

1) Plug in to PC, doesn't automatically download Drivers.

2) Manually download and install two Optional Windows Update

4) Kernel-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11

5) User-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11

6) Tried reconnecting the controller again, still no go, Windows Update unable to find the Drivers online

7) Google around found the Drivers for the Xbox One Controller, download and installed it manually.

8) Problem solved.

Question !

In future will I still need to install these both Optional Windows Update ?

Kernel-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11

User-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11

So again in future, do I have to manually install and download the Xbox One drivers like before ?? I was lucky to even find them online, what if I could no longer find it anymore in future. Of course I can back it up though, but by not having this Driver
ready to download directly from Microsoft, what If even my Backup is lost, then Im basically screw.....since it won't download and install automatically !

Hi,

There are two versions of the Xbox One controller drivers for Windows 8.1, one for 64-bit Windows versions and one for 32-bit versions (sometimes know as X86). These used to be available on the Microsoft website, but not anymore.

Microsoft haven't removed these drivers, they only removed the ability to download them via the Microsoft website. They only way to download the Xbox One Controller driver for Windows 8.1 is via Windows Update. Normally, the drivers for an Xbox One controller
should download automatically once the controller is connected via a Micro USB cable.

Windows 8.1 and Windows 7

When you connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to your Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 PC with a micro-USB cable, Windows will automatically download and install the drivers for the controller. If Windows is not
set to automatically download device software, you can check for updates through Device Manager.

Update drivers through Device Manager

Here’s how to check for updates manually in the Device Manager:

1. Point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then select
   Search.
2. Enter Device Manager in the search box, and then select
   Device Manager.
   
   Note Windows may ask you for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.
   
3. Locate and expand Microsoft Xbox One Controller.
4. Right-click the expanded Microsoft Xbox One Controller and select
   Update Driver Software.
5. Select Search Automatically for Updated Software.

Hi,

Did you get this to work? When Microsoft first released the driver/s for the Xbox One controller they were available from a download page, this page has now been removed. The official way to download the drive is via Windows Update.
If you have automatic updates on, when you connect the controller to a PC it should automatically download the required driver.

If you're downloading the driver from some other website or link, be aware that there are two versions for Windows 7, a 32 bit and 64 bit. You need to download the version that fits your Windows Install. If your computer is new and has at least 8 GB of RAM,
it will be the 64 bit version.

Windows 10 already has drivers for all Xbox controllers built in to the OS, which is why the controller works straight away on Win 10 machines. The Windows 10 driver can not be used on Windows 7.

No you don't understand.

This is a Windows issue.

Windows cannot install the drivers

Windows cannot connect to the driver servers.

Windows cannot properly use the drivers once installed manually.

I am tired of being thrown around from customer service to customer service.

I would really like some help with this issue as it is clearly a WINDOWS issue.

I will repeat:

Windows cannot install the drivers (via updating the drivers from device manager)

Windows cannot connect to the driver servers. (via updating the drivers from device manager)

Windows cannot properly use the drivers once installed manually. (via downloading the drivers from the suppliers site)

That and there are other products mentioned that you don't even attempt to address that are in fact Microsoft products.

My Xbox One Controller Wireless adapter for Windows, manufactured by Microsoft cannot run because of the same three issues I mentioned above, but in case that you forgot, here they are again.

Windows cannot install the drivers (via updating the drivers from device manager)

Windows cannot connect to the driver servers. (via updating the drivers from device manager)

Windows cannot properly use the drivers once installed manually. (via downloading the drivers from the suppliers site)

TP link would just tell me to ask windows customer support as to why your dysfunctional operating system cannot install THEIR perfectly functional drivers.

I get it, MarShy.

And the controller does not have a driver to download online.

The xbox controller driver is automatically downloaded when connecting the controller to the PC.
