  1. Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 Driver Issue?


    Hello,

    I just got and am having a problem with the newishly released "Wireless Adapter for Windows 10" (Xbox Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows 10 | Xbox).
    I can't get past the first section of the support steps (https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/troubleshoot-xbox-wireless-adapter-for-wi...)
    many times and eventually got in contact with Microsoft tech support. They had no fix at the time but they said they would get back to me, but for the time being I am going to make this post.

    I am trying to connect my Xbox One controller to my Windows 10 Machine and I think there is a driver download issue. When I plug the device into my computer, there is no notification on my screen and looking at the Device Manager I get this:

    Imgur

    I have tried everything that I can with the support team. Went over possible blocks from Anti-Virus to combos and order of things being plugged in and powered on. When checking for Windows Updates nothing comes up and the only other option avaiable would
    be to delete the driver or update it locally.

    I did some digging and it looks like older models have had the same issue and the universal fix has been a direct download for the driver but this newer model is supposed to be already in Windows so there is no driver out to be downloaded.

    (Dated 2015: GUIDE: Whoever has issues getting the driver for new Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows 10 :: Help and Tips)

    As Support gets back to me soon and I will post updates here if anyone else has the same issue in the future. Until then please send any suggestions to fix this my way please.

    Thanks,

    Jake

    :)

    Noob question for all Xbox elite controller owning people.

    Actually you can manually download the drivers for windows 7 and 8/8.1.

    Noob question for all Xbox elite controller owning people.

    If you buy the new wireless adapter, it will only work with windows 10. Unless there is a driver hidden away somewhere, it will not install on windows 7. I don't own 8.1 so I can't confirm.

    Heya!

    Sorry to hear about the issues with the controller.

    Have you updated your PC to the most recent version of Windows 10 at this time? If you check your PC updates do you see any kind of update?

    Xbox Wireless Adaptor driver conflicts

    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.
