Xbox One Controller not working on Windows 10

I bought a used Xbox One controller yesterday and separately purchased a usb cable (specifically made for xbox controller, has a light up X and everything on it) for it. I plugged it into my desktop (windows 10) and it lit up and vibrated, but did not work.
I tried everything my friends and google told me but nothing worked. Device Manager said that it could not find drivers for it. So I looked up the Hardware Id, googled it but I couldn't find anything helpful. (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2BA&SUBSYS_7A711462&REV_00).

So, I traded it in for a new one today however it still did not work. I tried uninstalling the PCI thing in Device Manager and restarting the computer. I tried downloading the System & chipset drivers from this website (Support For Z270-A PRO | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design | MSI Global
64).

Now the controller doesn't even show up on Device Manager list anymore. I don't know what to do. Also, I plugged it into my laptop (also windows 10) and it didn't show up on Device Manager there either. The controller and the usb cable are both lighting
up when I plug them in, but are useless.

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 zimbimz! Check out the steps
here and see if they help resolve your issue. I would suggest trying another cable and if possible a console to make sure the controller is functioning properly. Post back and let me know how it goes!
