Xbox 360 Controller on Laptop to play Fortnite

I am trying to connect my wired Xbox Remote (using USB) to my laptop so that I can use it to play fortnite. However the I am not able to find the driver for the controller. I checked Windows 10 support, there it just says install latest patches and the
driver would be found automatically ... that did not happen. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of a problem ?

Two Questions

Not sure about using the laptop as a screen. If you are still playing on the Xbox 360 and just using the laptop as a screen, why would that affect your controller at all? You can still use the 360 to connect your play&charge kit.

 

Wired Xbox 360 controller randomly disconnects and connects again, eventually proceeds to give me blue screen of death on laptop.

I have a wired controller that worked perfectly fine last night, but today, it randomly disconnects and connects again when I tried to play a game on my Windows 7 laptop. To make sure it was the controller and not the laptop, I plugged it in to my Xbox 360
and it did the same thing. I then unplugged it from my 360, plugged it in to my laptop, and it gave me the blue screen of death for a second before restarting. I unplugged the controller from the laptop and now the laptop is working perfectly fine. I had the
controller for 4 years and it worked perfectly fine before today. What is the problem with my controller and is there a solution?

 

Hello there,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Is this an Official Xbox 360 controller or a third party manufactured one?

• If your Xbox 360 wired controller is not detected by your PC, try plugging it into a different USB port, and then test it again.
• If your controller still does not work,
  check that Windows 10 is fully updated. Install any updates and then try again.
• Refer to your game documentation for information about how to configure the Xbox 360 controller for a specific game

Hi,

Do you have a wired 360 controller?

If you're trying to use a 360 wireless controller with a play and charge, this won't work as the play and charge does not transmit and receive data.
