    Problems with 3rd party XBox 360 wireless receiver (Window 10 64bit)


    I got a receiver from eBay the other day and cannot for the life of me get my controllers to connect to it. I got the official driver off microsoft, 64 bit, and selected the latest "Xbox 360 wireless receiver for windows" in the list in device manager.
    I'm definitely doing the syncing right, but it simply refuses to connect. What else can I try?

    :)

    Troubleshoot the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows 10

    The green light on the receiver does not illuminate

    When you plug the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, the green light on the receiver doesn't light up. This can occur because:

    • The Wireless Gaming Receiver is not plugged correctly into the USB port.
    • The Wireless Gaming Receiver device driver is not working as expected, or Windows 10 is out of date.
    • The USB hub is overloaded.
    Solutions
    • Check the USB connection. Make sure that you've connected the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows to a powered USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer. The best way to verify the connection is to unplug the Wireless Gaming Receiver from the
      USB port and then plug it in again. If the light still doesn't illuminate, try connecting the receiver to a different USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer.
    • Check for Windows 10 updates:
      1. On the Start menu, select Settings.
      2. Select Update & security.
      3. Select Check for updates. If there are any updates available, Windows will automatically install them.
      4. Once your device downloads and applies the update, try using the receiver again.
    Notes

    • Refer to your game documentation for information about how to configure accessories for a specific game.
    • Drivers for Xbox controllers and accessories are included with Windows 10, so you won't have to download or install software other than Windows 10 updates.

    This doesn't answer my question at all. I stated that there was an issue with the connection, not the illumination.

    The green light in the receiver shows the proper function of the device. If that is available check the issue elsewhere.
