    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

    Hey there MEGAJrod100,

    If it's working on the console, the issue sounds like it's the PC. Have you tried other USB ports or another cable just to rule it out?

    Xbox Elite Controller 2 will not connect VIA usb or Bluetooth to my pc

    The original XBox Elite controller requires the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 so without that adapter it will not be recognized properly by Windows. The newer, Elite Series 2 can connect to a Windows 10 PC without the need of an adapter.

    Xbox One Controller - doesn't update via USB cable on Windows 10

    This page has the detail on how to update your controller on Windows 10: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/how-to-update-xbox-one-controller-windows-10

    You shouldn't need to click the connect button on the controller, just plugging it in via USB should be enough to recognize it by the computer and be able to update through the Accessories app.

    Windows 10 Xbox App not recognizing an Xbox licensed Arcade Stick

    It works perfectly fine with Windows 10 - it just isn't recognized by the Xbox app for some odd reason - all other games work perfectly fine. Windows 10 sees it as a 360 controller according to the device manager as well.
