    Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver, problem with drivers


    I recently bought a third party pc wireless gaming receiver which should work with Xbox 360 wireless controllers but the problem is downloading the drivers for this receiver. I followed this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JL75xVfY3c and
    downloaded what I thought was the right drivers for the receiver. To be fair it was not the same drivers as in the youtube video so maybe that´s the problem. But when I tried to download drivers for the Xbox 360 wireless controller on Microsoft it won´t let
    me. Here are som print screens:

    Is there a drivers download for wireless Xbox 360 controller to PC windows 10

    Hi,

    There aren't any drivers to download for Windows 10 as the drivers for Xbox 360 controllers are already built into the OS.

    The Xbox 360 controller uses its own type of wireless protocol, it's not Bluetooth and so it can't be connected to a PC directly without additional hardware. It needs an Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver for use on a PC. This receiver needs to be specifically for Xbox 360 controllers. The receivers for the Xbox One controllers won't work either.

    Zsigma,

    Are you trying to find the drivers for the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver? If so, then the drivers are built in to Windows 10, and should install automatically when you plug the adapter into a USB port. If you are using an earlier version of windows, then
    the add new hardware wizard should start, and find the drivers.

    PCs require the adapter in order to use a 360 controller, as the controller uses a custom wireless format.

    There are instructions to set up the receiver and controller here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-360-wireless-gaming-receiver-windows

    Good Luck!

    Hey there Gantz2006.

    Depending on your OS, you should be able to install it through the included drivers. Please take a look at the

    Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Troubleshooter     and let us know if that helps you correct your driver issue.

    Gaming Receiver doesen't work (HEELP)

    Windows has most of the drivers for Xbox controllers and wireless receivers already, but sometimes you need to give it a bit of help.

    Try this method: Open your device manager and double click on the receiver with the yellow mark on it. Then select the Driver tab and click on "Update driver". Next, select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then "Let me pick from a list of device
    drivers on my computer". Then scroll all the way to the bottom and look for "Xbox 360 Peripherals". Select that and then choose "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows".

    Install that and you should be good to go.
