Why can't it let me use my usb driver to install apps.

Hi,LandonCarter3,

I hope you are doing well today. Welcome to the Xbox Community. Thank you for reaching out to Xbox Forums. You are having issues installing PC Game Pass games on your external drive. I am happy to help and suggest to solve this problem hopefully.

Solution 1: Format Secondary drive

Formatting to NTFS is also required for backing up games and captures on external storage devices connected to Windows PCs. IF you are trying to install on another drive, please make sure the hard drive is formatted correctly.

Solution 2: Set the default installation drive

1. Open Xbox app
   
2. On the top-right corner, click on your profile and select settings.
   
3. Click on General and then navigate to Change, where this app installs games by default.
   
4. select the drive you want to install your games
   

I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered."

Every USB monitor that I'm aware of requires the installation of drivers (such as DisplayLink drivers) that can't be installed on the Xbox One.

Typically when using a USB headset the pc will need to install a compatible driver for it to work. As the xbox is a locked down ,secure version of Windows it doesn't let you install drivers from other sources. Perhaps this might change in the future.

Heya!

Thank you in advance for all of the info you provided!

To be sure, have you gone through every step on the
Controller setup guide?

Are you only using the internal services to acquire the drivers or have you tried downloading them from other sources as well?

If you have tried online sources could you link us to them?

Post back and let us know how that goes!

Yes, that guide doesn't help as windows simply can't find the drivers for them online, and where can i download the drivers manually? Cause the .cab drivers won't work for me as i can't install them.

Have not tried any sources. Only to uninstall the drivers and installing them again.

And when i try to connect the controlelr, it connects, then immediately slowly dims the LED on the controller off and the adapter stops blinking too. It works fine on my laptop, just not on the desktop.

Have you attempted to update the controller once more with the
accessories app and a USB cable?

Yes i have. Was no available updates.

In this case, let's have you reach out to the
Windows 10 support team to see why your PC is no longer accepting drivers.

Thanks!

Yes, that's strange, so it seems the controller is working as expected.

Please try reinstalling the driver for both controller and wireless adapter
