- Xbox One Wired Controller Driver
So I tried to plug in my Xbox One Spectra controller to play a game.
I do not think that Microsoft harms Havok or the XB1 controllerĀ“s driver with updates, otherwise XBox360 controller would not work too. Actually, the Xbox One controller uses a separate driver from the Xbox 360 controller. Try removing the driver, from Device Manager then the controller open it then go to the Driver tab and Uninstall from there to remove the device and driver. Reboot and try again. USBDeview use that to find and remove all instances of the device. Beyond try it is another PC if you can check it does work with a PC ok. Microsoft Xbox One Controller USB Driver is licensed as freeware for PC or laptop with Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system without restrictions. It is in drivers hardware category and is available to all software users as a free download. Review title of Devin This app just killed my controller. Thanks a lot. So, I just got an xbox one controller for my PC, was really excited to use it. Worked great, used it for a day, and thought I would try using this app to update the firmware.
Nothing, no response.
I look at the Device Manager and it tells me the only thing it has is an Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
There is no Xbox Controller driver of any variety listed anywhere.
I double-checked Windows Update--it assures me it's up-to-date.

So I hunt down the 64-bit Xbox One Controller drivers from the support website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc
Install Xbox One Controller Driver
I run it. It tells me its installed, but if I try to manually select the driver it just doesn't show up, I have to uncheck compatible driver and get the giant list of manufacturer's and models--I still don't see any controller drivers listed anywhere, and the controller still isn't responding.
The drivers definitely installed as well because if I run the program again it asks me if I want to repair/remove it.
I tried driverquery and Get-WMIobject to look at drivers as well--there's no xbox drivers there.
Xbox One Wired Controller Driver
I've restarted the computer to no avail.
The closest I've gotten was one time when I restarted the PC and the device manager had dropped the yellow exclamation from the unknown device and when I tried to manually select a driver I got a different list of apparently compatible drivers (I didn't need to uncheck the compatible drivers box), but when I tried to select Xbox peripherals nothing happened and when I tried going back it was back to having nothing listed except the unknown driver.
I know the controller itself should be compatible--I've seen video of others installing drivers for the controller and it works for them.
Does anyone have a solution, like a way to force Windows to update and give me the relevant drivers?
