Xbox wireless gamepad windows 7

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have even tried finding other Drivers for Win and Pointing to them. Keeps saying there were no Drivers Found.

I have even tried going through Windows Update Tried MANY times. Even tried Manually doing it. Wont Install. However you should know that installing drivers from random places could contain malware or viruses. If you followed the setup instructions on the installation CD, you should be ready to use your device. When you connect a controller to your computer, it is assigned a specific quadrant that glows green to indicate the controller's number and position.

Each subsequent controller up to four connected to your computer is assigned an additional quadrant. To view your controller quadrant and battery status on the screen, press the Xbox Guide button. I believe the light comes on when it gets power, even before the proper driver is loaded. I had a perfectly good Xbox wireless adapter that worked for a few years, not tons of use. Then I pulled it out of a drawer after it lay dormant for 6 months or so, and plugged into a computer it worked on before, it didn't do anything.

I tried a second computer, same thing. The computers didn't even recognize it as a device. Select 'microsoft controller for windows' and it should load a working driver. The wireless USB dongle works fine for me on Windows 7. I haven't even installed any drivers, I just plugged it in, and it recognized it, and my wireless controllers work fine.

Perhaps you're not in administrator mode? During an update for Win8 and Win10 a few months back; it screwed up driver for Xbox controllers. Sintesamuel View Profile View Posts. I used the Windows Update Catalog website to find and download the required Windows 7 driver from there, and upon installing it didn't work at all i.

After a while I found that my crucial mistake had been that I from the Update Catalog had downloaded the driver version with "x86" architecture instead of "AMD64". And because I have an Intel processor, I therefore selected the bit "x86"-download by mistake, instead of the bit option correct in my case. So, when I did eventually download and install the AMDversion of the driver from the update catalog, everything with the installation went smoothly and afterwards the device has been working great, just like it should be I have legit given up on my adapter.

About a month ago, I wiped my computer and the adapter hasn't worked since. I have tried everything this thread has talked about. Still no luck, Windows 7 professional is really getting on my nerves.
