    Xbox 360 Controller not detected (at all) by laptop


    I just borrowed a Xbox 360 controller from a friend and it was suppose to work once I plug in the usb into the laptop, but nothing happened. I looked for help in youtube and google but all is not helpful in my case as all the tutorials shows that the devices
    is detected as a unrecognizable device. However, in my case, the device is not picked up at all! What should I do so that my laptop at least detect the device?

    :)

    Xbox 360 Controller not detected (at all) by laptop

    There is no tutorial since the gamepad should be detected by windows automatically. Have you tried it on another computer? Have you tried Bluetooth connection? Let us resolve these steps first.

    Let us know.

    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

    Laptop not detecting xbox 360 wired controller

    Looks like it is, is there any way to connect it with the laptop then?

    and that might sound stupid but if yes, how to disconnect the cable from the controller?

    thanks

    edit:i did some research and looks like i wasted 3 hours

    thanks for quick answer

    Xbox one s controller issue

    Unfortunately, that was not the case. Every game I got on my laptop was tested with the same controller on my friend laptop using Bluetooth. When I plug in my controller I can open a small manager screen on the desktop with the main Xbox button but I cant
    when using Bluetooth mode. All of the game I tested on using steam, uplay, Xbox, Origin ... and the button is all over the place or the game not detected my input at all. I think that there is some problem with my laptop driver for the Xbox controller. I try
    to reinstall, uninstall the controller driver and Bluetooth driver as well but nothing seems to work.
