    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 not working


    Hello,

    I have an Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 which has been working for a few years then suddenly stopped working a few months ago. I have tried several things to fix it but nothing seems to be working. When it is plugged in, no lights appear like they used to, leading me to believe it is fully dead.

    Other forum posts said to update the drivers, but following their steps they said to find the device under network drivers in device manager, which it isn't there. I also used Microsoft's debugger USB viewer to test if it was detecting anything at all, and by plugging in another USB drive I determined that my USB port was port 1 on my laptop, but when I unplugged the other USB device and plugged the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 back in, the connection status reads "NoDeviceConnected". I have tried plugging it in to several different PCs and there is no sign of any physical damage but it seems strange that my computer cannot detect that anything is plugged in at all.

    Let me know if there is any further information I should provide but I am just stuck to what this problem could be.

    Thanks,

    Liam

    :)

    Controller Xbox One - Windows 7 x64 - Wireless

    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 !
