Xbox 360 wired controller not connecting to 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.

Hey there!

Are you trying to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your Windows 10 PC or is it a wired controller? If it's a wired one, here are the steps to

calibrate your controller with your Windows PC. You'll want to follow those steps and be sure that everything is set up correctly and try again.

Keep us posted!

From what I've read, you are trying to connect your Xbox 360 controller to windows 10?

Here are the steps for that for connecting it:

1. Plug the Xbox 360 wired controller into any USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer.

2. Windows 10 will automatically install drivers for your controller. Once you see the pop-up notification that the drivers have been installed, you can use your controller.

3. Open a game or the Xbox app and test your controller by pressing a button, pulling a trigger, or moving a stick on the controller.

Notes:

• 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.
  
• Drivers for Xbox controllers are included with Windows 10, so you won't have to download or install software othr than Windows 10 updates.

Hello im tring to hook up my xbox 360 controller with charge cord....

H,

That's your problem, right there. Unfortunately, if you connect your wireless Xbox 360 controller with a charging cable, all your doing is charging the controller.

The 360 wireless controller can't be turned into a wired controller with the charging cable as neither the controller or the wire were designed to send data this way.

You either need 360 wired controller or an Xbox One controller. Xbox One controllers can use wired or wireless, but wireless is only supported via Windows 10.

Hope that helps.

I am not on console, I am on a PC with Windows 10 with a wired Xbox 360 controller.
