    Xbox 360 controller for xbox 360 now recognized as a controller for windows and doesn't...


    I have been wanting to play split screen games on my Xbox and I have a wireless and a wired controller the one that is wired was originally for the Xbox 360 and now its being recognized as a controller for windows. I was wanting to know if there is a way to get it back to a Xbox 360 controller. I've read on it and maybe the controller will just be a windows controller but, if there is any way to reinstall drivers on it that would be great!

    :)

    Can I use Original Xbox360 controller on pc (the controller of the xbox360)?

    If the Xbox 360 controller is a wired controller, then the controller can be used on the PC, just plug it in the USB port, and it should recognize it and let you use it. If it is a wireless Xbox 360 controller, then you will need the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows to connect the controller to your PC.

    Wired Xbox 360 Controller doesn't work - Windows 10 Pro Ver. 21H1

    Hi,

    Sounds like a faulty controller to me. Especially if it used to work but now it doesn't and the fact that you've tried it on two different computer's.

    Downloading drivers won't help as there are no updated drivers. The drivers for the Xbox 360 controllers are built into Windows 10. There no issues with Xbox 360 controllers and Windows 10 to my knowledge.

    The only way for sure would be to try another Xbox 360 controller or a third party Xinput supported controller. Failing that an Xbox One or Series X|S controller.

    Xbox One controller broken by Windows Anniversary Update

    My Xbox elite controller just stopped working yesterday on a recently purchased laptop but already had the anniversary update on it so I can't roll back to the previous version of Windows 10.

    I've noticed now that in the device and printer section of the Control Panel I've got a Xbox 360 controller for Windows entry which isn't present on another version of Windows 10 install on my desktop PC so this laptop now has two entries the elite controller
    and the Xbox 360 controller in Control Panel.If I disabled the Xbox 360 controller entry I get functionality on the elite controller but on a restart Windows the 360 controller reappears in Control Panel and in device manager.

    Strange thing that for a week since I've had this new laptop everything was working fine in, now steam doesn't recognise the elite controller and windows hasn't done an update so how's this happened?

    Xbox 360 wireless controller for windows 7

    By "latest version of the adapter", you mean
    this adapter
    , then this will not work with Xbox 360 controllers. This one is only designed for Xbox One controllers.

    Microsoft doesn't seem to sell the 360 wireless receiver anymore, but you can
    get it here from Amazon
    .

    For the 360 wireless receiver, yes, that is all you need to hook up your 360 controller to the PC. Press the sync button on both the adapter and controller, it should connect without a problem and be instantly recognized by your Windows 7 system.

    Xbox 360 controller for xbox 360 now recognized as a controller for windows and doesn't work in xbox anymore

    Hi,

    Not sure what's happened here but the problem is either with the controller hardware itself or the Xbox 360. The 360 controllers can be used on both interchangeably. It won't become a 'Windows 360 controller' after you use on a PC. I have an old 360 that I fire up every now and again, my controller works on both my PC and my 360.
