    Windows 10 with wired 360 Controller: not working


    As above, have tried the default wireless play kit driver, the wireless driver, and the wired drivers that ship with Windows 10.

    Also installed the Accessories app that shows the connection status.

    And tried the joy.cpl.

    Neither shows an active controller with any of the 3 drivers above.

    Is there something else I need to do somewhere to get it to work?

    :)

    Xbox 360 wired controller on Windows 10 not working

    I definitely have a wired unit

    windows 10 does not recognize it at all.

    I tried installing the software that came with it - device not recognized

    I tried uninstalling the software from the installation disc and just plugging it in as directed - - device not recognized

    has anyone out there actually gotten the xbox 360 wired controller working on windows 10?

    If there are updated drivers I cant find them anywhere

    Can I use Xbox 360 controller for windows 10?

    Hi,

    Both wired and wireless Xbox 360 controllers work on Windows 10. Wired is just plug and play while wireless controllers need a receiver. I know 360 controllers work as I've used them on my own gaming PC running the latest version of Win 10.

    xbox 360 controller pc wireless with World War Z

    Im having the same problem, where my wired xbox 360 controller which works with windows 10 is not being read by world war z, anyone found a solution? I don't think you can update a wired xbox 360 controller. Works fine with all other windows 10 games except
    World war z

    Laptop not detecting xbox 360 wired controller

    Are you sure the Xbox 360 is a wired Xbox 360 controller, and not connected by a separate cable like the play and charge cable? If it is the play and charge cable, it will not work on Windows 10, as it only charges the batteries on a PC. If it is a actual
    wired controller, then Windows 10 should detect and then download the drivers if needed.

    More info on connecting a 360 controller to a PC can be found here

    cant connect an Xbox 360 controller to PC windows 10 via cable

    I have a VERY similar issue... i think you are talking about a wired 360 controller, but I am more specifically talking about a wired 360 guitar (controller). mine also is recognized by windows 10 as a 360 controller (not a guitar), and despite everything I do with them (i have 2)... it will not work on my xbox 1 x through windows 10 (and the xbox companion app built into windows 10). I was able to get my xbox 1 wired regular controller to work using windows 10. if you find an answer, please let me know, it will likely fix my issue as well, even though my issue is slightly different
