360 controller not working w10

[zkt72]

So I plug my xbox 360 controller in and it says this device has malfunctioned. So then I go look at windows update, no updates available. So then I go online searching for drivers. No drivers as I can see. This is the informationg i have and it would be super awesome if I could get a reply. Oh I also deleted the xbox 360 controller in device manager trying to disable and re-enable the driver, and I having a bad time getting that back.

Is it a wired only controller?

You tried other usb ports? Also is it a wired controller?

The wireless ones with the play +  charge kit won't even send a signal to the PC. @leelaa14

reconnecting the controller to another port should bring up the driver again. Also rebooting with the controller disconnected and then connecting the controller after the boot should also bring up the driver.

Mine does but it has the wireless already installed, it just notes its now plugged in. Pops up the "installing drivers" window momentarily then blinks back out

You can not use a wireless one with play and charge kit as a wired controller. You would need a wireless controller reciever. I got mine for £5

That didn't work

In device manager you might try telling it to show hidden devices and uninstalling all 360 controller related entries so it will try to redownload the driver

I'll just delete everything because that sounds like it would work

If you are using it with a play and charge kit then it won't work.

Wired controller with a play and charge kit, seems legit

[pagani123]

do you have any other cables to use it with. It might just be cable

Try uninstall the driver and run ccleaner. Then reinstall.

My issue was finding the actual drivers after accidently uninstalling the drivers I had before

Never mind I just realised a Piece of the PCB in the controller is broken
