That's because the driver is not correctly installed,

Because the drivers for the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows are embedded within the Windows 10/11 operating system, the adapter should auto-install. If it doesn't, try the following solutions:

Make sure your Windows device is connected to the internet.

Make sure Windows is up to date by going to Windows Update on your device and checking for available updates.

Reboot your device and try again.

Ensure your USB ports are not disabled in Device Manager.

Try another USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

Try reinstalling the drivers in case they have partially installed. To do so, you need to uninstall the drivers. Follow these steps to complete this process:

Go to Device Manager.

Locate Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows in the Network adapters section.

Select Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows to bring up the Properties window.

Select the Driver tab.

On the Driver tab, select Uninstall or Uninstall Device (depending on your version of Windows).

On the confirmation window, check the Delete the driver software for this device box.

Unplug the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows and reboot your Windows device. Once the device is back on, plug in the adapter.

If the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows still does not install, follow all of the above steps thoroughly one more time. If this doesn't work, your adapter might need to be replaced.

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)

The wireless adapter works with everything else except these headsets?

Another option, if you can is go back to Windows 10 / install Windows 10 on that device.
In some cases the digital license for windows 11 is used automatically on Windows 10.

If you’re not able to do it you may need to wait until a compatible driver with windows 11 gets released :c
