    Xbox 360 Wired Controller not recognized (Windows 10)


    I've got a weird problem. I have had no trouble plugging in a controller to my laptop and using it to play games since I started using one in May. It worked fine on Windows 8, and still worked when I upgraded to Windows 10. But as of yesterday, my controller
    does not work. I plug it in, the light flashes once, and nothing else happens. It doesn't appear in the device manager either. This is what I've tried to fix it:

    • Tried a different controller; neither work.
    • Tested different USB ports. All of my ports work with everything except the controllers.
    • Installed Windows updates. My computer is completely up to date.
    • Tried different games. The controllers don't work in any of them.
    • Restarted my computer multiple times.
    Everything on my computer is running fine, and according to my brothers, the controllers work fine with the Xbox itself. If anyone could help me get this sorted out, I'd really appreciate it.

    :)

    Xbox 360 wired controller on Windows 10 not working

    I definitely have a wired unit

    windows 10 does not recognize it at all.

    I tried installing the software that came with it - device not recognized

    I tried uninstalling the software from the installation disc and just plugging it in as directed - - device not recognized

    has anyone out there actually gotten the xbox 360 wired controller working on windows 10?

    If there are updated drivers I cant find them anywhere

    XBox 360 Controller for Windows 10

    Good evening (from Slovakia)! I want to buy an XBox 360 Wired Controller for my PC and my question is: Can I use a normal XBox Wired 360 controller (which is given to XBox 360s) on Windows 10, or I have to buy a new one specialized for Windows 10?

    Sorry for bad english.

    cant connect an Xbox 360 controller to PC windows 10 via cable

    I have a VERY similar issue... i think you are talking about a wired 360 controller, but I am more specifically talking about a wired 360 guitar (controller). mine also is recognized by windows 10 as a 360 controller (not a guitar), and despite everything I do with them (i have 2)... it will not work on my xbox 1 x through windows 10 (and the xbox companion app built into windows 10). I was able to get my xbox 1 wired regular controller to work using windows 10. if you find an answer, please let me know, it will likely fix my issue as well, even though my issue is slightly different

    Can I use Original Xbox360 controller on pc (the controller of the xbox360)?

    If the Xbox 360 controller is a wired controller, then the controller can be used on the PC, just plug it in the USB port, and it should recognize it and let you use it. If it is a wireless Xbox 360 controller, then you will need the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows to connect the controller to your PC.

    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.
