Xbox Controller Firmware and Windows Anniversary Update - Still not working

Hello,

I'm one of those unfortunate people who has an Xbox One Controller that can't work with the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.

Basically after updating to the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition my Xbox One Controller drivers not longer detect the xbox controller.

I have tried reverting back to the old drivers - This allows it to work completely fine as per
Windows 10 Anniversary Update breaks Xbox One controller drivers.

I have tried using the Xbox Accessories App but also does not detect my controller connected by micro usb so I can't update the firmware.

Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox console so I can't try updating that way. Neither does the retailer unfortunately.

Has anybody got any suggestions on how they fixed this?

:)

 

Xbox One Elite controller not working anymore after (failed?) Xbox Accessories firmware upgrade

That's the only known working solution right now. I couldn't find myself a Xbox One console either.

Alternatively, someone rolled back windows 10 anniversary update and got his Elite controller working. I'm not sure if that's a safe move as the anniversary update rollback may end up breaking your W10.

 

Windows 10 Anniversry and Xbox One Controller error code 10

After Windows 10 updated to build is version 1607 build 14393.351,My Xbox One Controller version 10.0.14393.0 the controller stops working completely with error code 10 (The device cannot start.) and the Xbox Accessories app does not see my controller at
all. Before the Windows 10 Anniversary Update the controller, version 6.2.11059.0, was working fine in every game. Now with that version 6.2.11059.0, the controller works on some games and others are spotty, from not registering the button press to registering
maybe 1000 button presses, to not working at all. My Windows 10 build is version 1607 build 14393.351.

Is Microsoft aware of this problem? I have reported the issue. Wonder if this will ever be corrected.

I was told after posting this issue on
Microsoft website to come here and post the issue.

Hey there hyperhop.

To start out, have you tested your controller with a different USB cable to see if it changes your connection troubles? Often times the cable is the culprit with this issue.

 

Tried it with two different micro USB cables and it hasn't detected the controller. If I use the older drivers it works fine on either cable.

 

Thanks for the extra info hyperhop.

Just to check, does this occur in a particular game? Multiple users on that thread are reporting issues through Steam but and was curious what you were experiencing. Also, keep in mind the reports from that thread are from last year, which leads me to believe
this may be an separate issue.

 

Sorry for the late response. Didn't realise someone had answered. No this doesn't occur just for a particular game. As mentioned this is something that is happening in Windows 10.

Here is the driver that does work, it is a version 6, 2014 driver (screenshot below). The latest drivers just don't work, I can't even calibrate them in the setup.

FYI this has been happening since last year. I thought perhaps a Windows update might fix this eventually but so far nothing...

 

One thing I would like to mention, the retailer I bought this from has a demo Xbox console so I was wondering if those demo consoles would update my firmware on my controller?
