Updated drivers for the wireless adapter for Windows 10 available on Windows Update

KBx642 · Dec 25, 2015

I solved my bluescreen problem on Windows 8.1 x64. I'm wondering if my system was confused between 32bit and 64bit drivers or just bad automatically download drivers in general.

I started over. I uninstalled the Xbox Wireless Adapter driver and pulled the adapter out, restarted. Went to the MediaTek website downloaded and installed their mt7612u driver. Restarted.

I downloaded the drivers that cy43rguru linked to. The 64bit driver obviously. I plugged in the Wireless Adapter and selected update driver in device manager. I chose the AMD64 drivers. It now works very very well.

The wireless adapter driver downloaded from Windows update is the right Mediatek driver and should be the best driver to use optimized for the controller scenarios. The mt7612U driver is the general wireless driver which may not work under certain circumstances

In addition drivers for the wireless network adapter for Windows 7,8 and 8.1 have been released (available at the same link or via Windows update). Please note that audio, peripheral devices or firmware update is not supported on Windows 7,8 or 8.1, only
on Windows 10.

Hello It's O, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Since the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows drivers are included in the Windows 10 operating system, the adapter should install automatically. If not, try the solutions:

Make sure your Windows 10 device is connected to the Internet.
Make sure your Windows 10 device is updating by going to Windows Update from your device and checking for available updates.
Restart your device and try again.
Make sure USB ports are not disabled in Device Manager.
Try another USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

Try reinstalling the drivers in case they have been partially installed. For this, you need to uninstall the drivers. Follow these steps to carry out this process:
Go to Device Manager.
Look for Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows in the Network Adapters section.
Click Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows to open the Properties window.
Click the Driver tab.
On the Driver tab, click the Uninstall button.
In the confirmation window, activate Remove the driver software for this device.
Disconnect the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows and restart your Windows 10 device. When your device is back up and running, plug in the adapter.

Best regards.

Woah so the wireless adapter now works with 7, 8, and 8.1? I'll tell my friends.

Then how about either the Windows or Xbox team decide who's going to support situations like soft-bricked controllers from bugs in the Xbox Accessories app? There's quite a few people, myself included, with controllers stuck in DFU (device firmware update)
mode to no fault of our own from failed firmware updates via PC.
