Does anyone have the xbox 360 controller drivers??

Galen Fernandes · Nov 22, 2023

I was updating my xbox 360 controller but I installed the wrong one and now every time I plug it in to my laptop it says device not working. So does anyone have the files or an device manager where I need to go???

Also its take 6-8 seconds to turn on and every time I try to pair it with the 360 it just flashes.

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that you experiencing issues with your Xbox 360 controller. I advice you power cycle your control. Many controller issues can be resolved by putting the controller through a complete power cycle.

To power cycle your controller:
1. Press and hold the Xbox button for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off.
2. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on.

Did your controller ever work before, or are you just trying to get it to work now?

The drivers for the Xbox 360 are not available for download independently anymore, and there is no reason for them to be, as Xbox 360 controllers have been natively supported by Windows since Windows Vista. The drivers can't be downloaded because they are already part of the Windows Operating System.

Is your controller wired or wireless?

Unlike Xbox One or Series X|S controllers, Xbox 360 wireless controllers are always wireless. If you've attempted to connect a Wireless Xbox 360 controller to your laptop with the Play and Charge cable, it won't work. This is because the Play and Charge does not send data. It will just flash. Xbox 360 wireless controllers need an Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

Only Xbox One or newer Series X|S controllers can be both wired and wireless.

Hi there; looking at the website where you can get the drivers from Microsoft, it does not appear that they have updated drivers for Windows 10 (www.microsoft.com/.../xbox-360-controller-for-windows).
You may have to update/upgrade to the Xbox One controller for Windows.
