Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver Driver Isn't Recognized

Thanks, I had the same problem, receiver used to work well on my previous install and I was unable to manually install the driver on my fresh Windows install.

The reddit comment fixed my problem, another guy also made a youtube video based on the comment in case anyone needs, it helped me too, I had no idea 7zip could unzip executables.

Hi,

Thanks for the link but I'm specifically struggling to figure out why the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver driver won't install on my Windows 10.

Hope this helps

After some searching I found
this Reddit thread describing my exact problem. A legendary poster left detailed instructions in the comments on how to fix this issue by editing the Windows 7 drivers which you can still download from Microsoft.

It's not easy but it's doable because I did it and it works. Hopefully it will help someone in the future.

Here is where you can find the Windows 7 drivers you'll need:

He conectado el receptor del mando wireless xbox 360 en el puerto trasero usb del pc e instalado de nuevo los drivers y sigue reconociendo el joystick como ratón óptico. He probado con otro mando wireless xbox 360 y sucede lo mismo.

-[Translation - I connected the xbox 360 wireless control receiver to the USB rear port of the PC and reinstalled the drivers and still recognizes the joystick as an optical mouse. I tried another wireless xbox 360 controller and the same thing
happens]
