360 wireless receiver not working

[ThePandanator21]

So lemme clear up somethings right off the bat.

 

1) Its one of the Chinese knockoffs, I don't feel like buying a whole new controller when i have four and all I need is the receiver.

 

2) I've already doe the weird forced driver update to the real Microsoft gaming driver.

 

The issue is that usually the controller works for about 30 seconds to a minute, but as its working the computer is installing a "USB Input Device" driver and as soon as it's don't the controller stops connecting to the device, which seems to get full power and "work".

 

I'm not sure if the USB input device driver is related to the device malfunctioning but I would bet it is.

 

Any Ideas?

on your device manager does it appear as an unknown device and does it have a yellow triangle on it?
