A driver is a software program that lets the device—in this case the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows—work with the Windows operating system and the game. On a computer running Windows 7, the driver will be downloaded and installed automatically when you connect the controller.
- 2: Update Xbox controller driver automatically (Recommended) Windows only provide driver for Xbox 360 on builds earlier than Windows 7. So if you are using Windows 10 (which is what most of you are using now), Windows 8.1 or 8, you will find the driver provided by Windows not helpful enough.
- May 30, 2014 - When I plug the controller into the USB port, it says 'USB device not recognized' and won't install the driver. I have installed the driver software.
Xbox One Controller Driver Not Found
Hiya, my name is Evan. My Xbox One controller doesn't work on Windows 7. When I plug it in, it says the driver was not found.
Here is everything I have tried:
*Updated my windows fully
*I tried to update drivers by going into device manager and having windows find a solution (it didn't find a solution)
*I tried to update the drivers by downloading the Xbox controller drivers from the Xbox catalog called AMD64 and X86 or something along those lines. I have extracted both of these with WinRar and right clicked on the .inf and hit install. It gave me the error, 'The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation.' I also extracted the files and put them in a folder. I then went to device manager again and browsed for the folder instead. I selected it and it said it couldn't find the drivers even though the only thing in the folder was what I extracted.
Please help me, I want to play Dark Souls 3 with a controller!

Xbox One Controller Driver Not Found
Hey all,
I seem to be having issues installing drivers onto my attached usb devices. Whenever I plug in my xbox one / xbox 360 controller, I will get the ding that windows has recognized an attached device then the controller shuts off.
In the device manager it claims the driver is not installed on my xbox one controller (code 1) and when I go to install the driver (I navigate and find the driver on my computer) I get this issue
'Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them. One the installers for this device cannot perform the installation at this time.'
I've tried this with multiple Xbox wired controllers and I even get this error when I plug my phone into my PC (although windows 10 will live update me saying that its configuring my device). I've also tried multiple USB ports to no avail. I've also tried uninstalling the device and reinstalling and I still get the same errors
I'm currently updated on all of my other drivers (BIOS, usb controller, windows 10, etc etc). If anyone could provide me any help that would be amazing! Thank you!
