xbox 360 controller setup for windows 10

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.

Hello LinconSilva,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your computer is not recognizing the Xbox 360 controller when you plug it in. We have a support article which provides information about

connecting a Xbox 360 controller to a Windows 10 computer. The most common solution in this situation is to make sure that

Windows 10 is up to date. Be sure to let us know the results!

Hey BulbaForce,

Let's check this out. Officially, there is this nifty support guide for setting up the Xbox 360 controller for a PC:

support.xbox.com/.../xbox-controller-for-windows-setup

Now, if you read the top of that guide, there's a note that this controller will definitely work for the Windows 10, so there are no worries there. There's a section specifically for

setting up the controller for Windows 10. Windows 10 automatically downloads the necessary drivers. With that in mind, are you sure that the drivers aren't already installed? Have you tested this controller out in any games?

If it's not working, let's make sure that your Windows 10 device is fully updated. You can find out how to check for that with this Windows 10 FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/windows-update-faq
