    XBOX 360 controller (USB attached to PC) not usable on PC to play microsoft anywhere games..its frustrating!!

    How did you establish the USB connection?

    Was this a Xbox 360 controller with a fixed cable that you can NOT remove (a
    purely wired controller looks like this    , note the thin wire connection with the anti-kink part)? Or is it a wireless controller that you connected via a Play&Charge cable (the

    USB cable is removable and has a wide connector like this    )?

    The Play & Charge USB cable is ONLY transmitting power to the controller. It does NOT carry any controller commands.

    In order to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller, you would need the
    Wireless Gaming Receiver from Microsoft     as an accessory. The newer Wireless Adapters for Windows 10 only work with the Xbox One controllers, NOT with the Xbox 360 controllers.

    Network storage

    Hi

    No, the storage needs to be directly attached to the xbox via the USB ports.it will also format the drive for game storage and won't be usable on a PC after that without reformatting.

    Can games purchased on www.steampowered.com be used on my x-box?

    Unfortunately games you purchase on Steam are only usable on the Steam platform.

    Some PC games can be shared between Xbox and PC, but these are most commonly Microsoft's Play Anywhere titles, but they use the Windows Store and not Steam.

    For more information on Play Anywhere titles, please follow this

    Xbox360 Controller USB Incompatibility with PC

    Hi,

    To use an Xbox 360 controller on its own on a PC, it must a wired controller. It does not matter if the USB port is 3.0, USB 2.0 devices will work on USB 3.0 ports.
    The Xbox 360 Play and Charge can not send controller data back to the PC. It will only charge the battery, or power the controller if no battery is present. A play and charge for 360 controllers is a charger, nothing
    more.

    Xbox 360 wireless controllers are always wireless. To use a Xbox 360 wireless controller on a PC, you'll need an Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

    Only the Wireless Xbox One controllers can be made wired with the correct Micro USB sync and charge type cable.
