    Windows 10 + XBOX 360 Wireless Adapter / Controller don't work anymore


    I connected two different XBOX 360 Wireless Adapter on three different Windows 10 PCs. All with the latest Version of WIndows 10 and never had connected with the Wireless Adapter before: nothing happens. No green light on top of the adapter, no sound or
    visual when connecting the adapter to the PC. Nothing is shown (even with hidden on) in Device Manager. On my Raspberry PIs and on SteamLink the Adapter and Controller works.

    All of the helping-sites here from Microsoft lead to nothing and didn't help. So please tell me how to get my Controllers working again. Thank you.

    :)

    Wireless adapter

    You must get the
    adapter specifically made     for Xbox 360 controllers.

    The Xbox Wireless Adapter you've bought is not backward compatible with 360 controllers.

    Here is one on Amazon, for example (they don't sell it on the Microsoft store anymore).

    Can I use my old Xbox 360 adapter with the new XboxOne controller?

    Windows 10 + XBOX 360 Wireless Adapter / Controller don't work anymore

    I don't own an xbox. I just use the XBOX 360 Wireless Controllers with the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. On toher devices (without OS Windows 10) it's working.

    I followed this instruction (sadly in german, can't find the english one, but it was the same):

    But i'm stuck on Point 3.

    Hello GarmUK,





    As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.





    Thanks,

    Brad
