Wireless Adapter Missing Driver

I don't have bluetooth on my computer, it happens with both controllers through a wired connection and wirelessly using the xbox wireless adapter.

I tried on my laptop and I don't have the issue there, which is why I thought it might be a driver issue and tried reinstalling the drivers, but maybe I missed a driver.

"You must update the drivers:

Click "Network Adapter" to expand the menu and right-click "Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows" > Update Driver Software > Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software"

This fixed the audio issue I was having with the controller connected via the Wireless Adapter (it worked via USB but not wirelessly until I manually updated said network adapter driver). Thanks!

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

Hi there JUST,

Thanks for the reply. I recommend to try removing the driver for the wireless adapter.

Try reinstalling the drivers in case they have partially installed. To do so, you need to uninstall the drivers. Follow these steps to complete this process:

1. Go to your Device Manager.
2. Locate Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows in the Network adapters section.
   
3. Click Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows to bring up the Properties window.
   
4. Click on the Driver tab.
5. On the Driver tab, click the Uninstall button.
   
6. On the confirmation window, check Delete the driver software for this device.
   
7. Unplug the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows and reboot your Windows 10 device. Once the device is back on, plug in the adapter.
   
8. If the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows still does not install, follow all of the above steps thoroughly one more time. If this doesn't work, your adapter needs to be replaced. See How to get service for
   
   your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

Try this out and let us know the results.

You can find the driver manually here:

Download the Wireless Adapter driver, Generic Controller - Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows driver. The 1.8mb archive is for 64bit (the file itself is labelled AMD64) and the 1.7mb archive is for 32bit. Extract the driver from the cab file to a folder
and then manually try to update it within Device Manager.

Go to Device Manager and insert your Xbox Wireless Adapter, find it under Network Adapters. Right click it and select update driver software. Point it to the folder where you extracted the Wireless Adapter driver.

This fixed it for me and it's working great. The vibration feature works too, best of all no bluescreens. Really do hope I've helped rather than just taking up space.
