XBox One Wireless Controller Adapter Driver for Windows 7

The wired controllers work just fine. If you are purchasing a wireless controller, make sure it comes with the wireless adapter for your pc.

You can go here
www.microsoft.com/.../xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows for the drivers. These work on XP, Vista and windows 7.

Unfortunately, with the launch of Windows 10 TH2 update and the New Xbox One experience, the team has been stretched thin. We have a bunch of releases for the wireless network adapter driver for Windows 10, the wired controller drivers for Windows 7, 8 and
8.1, and servicing updates for upcoming releases. We will posting on the forums as soon as testing completes and we are ready to release.

I just purchased an xbox controller + wireless adapter for Windows 10 and the wireless adapter is not installing the correct drivers. Microsoft Windows Version 1902 (OS Build 18362.329)

"You must update the drivers:

Click "Network Adapter" to expand the menu and right-click "Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows" > Update Driver Software > Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software"

This fixed the audio issue I was having with the controller connected via the Wireless Adapter (it worked via USB but not wirelessly until I manually updated said network adapter driver). Thanks!

Thanks for your answer, would like it to wireless but I can handle it

Does all xbox one controller have an usb C port to be connected or some are wireless only ? (Sorry about all these questions but never had an xbox one controller between my hand)

And I found 2 link on microsoft website about wireless connexion here they are, but in french (i'm on phone can't find them in English) but here's the translation of interesting parts :

https://support.xbox.com/fr-BE/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-compatibility

"The wireless adaptator for windows 10 has been made to be used on windows 10 only. The old wireless adaptator xbox for windows works on device running windows 10, windows 8.1 and windows 7. "

That's where I heard about the "old adaptator"

And I just found this link :

https://support.xbox.com/fr-FR/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-one-wireless-controller-differences-on-windows-operating-systems

This is line 1, 2 and 3 of the table :

"Fonctionality : usb wired connexion : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1

Fonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1

Fonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows 10 : works on windows 10, doesn't work on windows 7."

So seems like there is 2 wireless adaptator and one of them seems to work on windows 7 but they don't precise if it's for xbow one or 360...sigh now you understand why i'm so lost, 3 versions of the controller, 2 different adaptator, many software update...I
know the best is to switch to W10 but I never had a single problem on w7 and would like to keep it as long as possible.

Thanks again !
