    My xbox one controller doesn't seem properly identified on windows 10, it says manufacturer unknown and is only specified as an unknown controller.

    Hi Benscookies,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Sorry to hear about the issue. Nevertheless, since it is a third-party device, have you tried contacting the controller's producer?
