    XBox One Wireless Adapter Driver Issues (Win 8.1)


    I have been testing out the new XBox One Wireless Adapter now that 8.1 compatibility has been added and I've noticed a few things after a few hours of testing:

    - Upon initially installing the driver from Device Manager the controller registered as a DirectInput device in the Control Panel's 'Set up USB game controllers' window - however the 'Controller (Xbox One For Windows)' properties window was titled 'Logitech'
    something or other (can't remember exactly) and DirectInput from the controller was non-functional -- deleting and reinstalling the driver fixed this.

    - After connecting and disconnecting 360 controllers (via 360 Wireless Adapter) and Xbox One Controllers (via the Xbox One Wireless Adapter) several times the Xbox One adapter occasionally (twice so far in about 2 hours) stops providing input completely
    (XInput test application shows no connection) -- this was fixed by deleting and reinstalling the driver.

    - When using the controller with Final Fantasy XIII (a DirectInput game) at the initial in-game menu, selecting 'New Game' and then 'Easy' or 'Normal' will bring up a prompt to continue -- at this point the game stops responding to either the controller
    or the keyboard (although it continues to run) and must exited -- the same behavior happens when selecting 'Load Game' or after selecting an interactive object in-game (which can only be reached by using the keyboard to load the game before touching any controller
    buttons). This behavior is not reproducible with either a 360 controller or other DirectInput controllers and thus appears to be a driver issue with the Xbox One adapter.

    I was mostly hoping to report these issues so they can be addressed but I would also like to know -- is there any plan to allow non-Windows 10 users to upgrade the controller Firmware, or is that capability being kept exclusive to the windows 10 app?

    :)

    Updated drivers for the wireless adapter for Windows 10 available on Windows Update

    I solved my bluescreen problem on Windows 8.1 x64. I'm wondering if my system was confused between 32bit and 64bit drivers or just bad automatically download drivers in general.

    I started over. I uninstalled the Xbox Wireless Adapter driver and pulled the adapter out, restarted. Went to the MediaTek website downloaded and installed their mt7612u driver. Restarted.

    I downloaded the drivers that cy43rguru linked to. The 64bit driver obviously. I plugged in the Wireless Adapter and selected update driver in device manager. I chose the AMD64 drivers. It now works very very well.

    xbox one controller not downloading drivers on windows 8.1

    Found this buried in another thread and resolved my issue!!!

    I had similar issues to those in this thread, I've actually fixed my mt7612us bluescreen (bsod) on Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I'm posting this here in the hopes I can help at least one person.

    In Device Manager I used the uninstall option on the Xbox Wireless Adapter drive, then pulled the adapter out of the USB port and restarted my computer. I then went to the MediaTek website, www.mediatek.com/.../downloads

    Download the MT7612U driver it's the top option. You'll need supply some data to download. Run the setup program, it will place the latest MT7612U drivers onto your computer, after installation restart the computer.

    After this, go to the link provided http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=xbox%20wireless and download the Wireless Adapter driver, Generic Controller - Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows driver. The 1.8mb archive is for 64bit (the file
    itself is labelled AMD64) and the 1.7mb archive is for 32bit. Extract the driver to a folder.

    Go to Device Manager and insert your Xbox Wireless Adapter, find it under Network Adapters. Right click it and select update driver software. Point it to the folder where you extracted the Wireless Adapter driver.

    This fixed it for me and it's working great. The vibration feature works too, best of all no bluescreens. Really do hope I've helped rather than just taking up space.
