With Windows 10, the driver should be installed automatically. Try unplugging it and using a different USB Port.

thanks! although I am very pissed that i wasnt aware that i could've just connected my controller via a play and charging kit and i wasted 10$ on the receiver. I asked on a previous post if i could use my play and charging kit instead of a receiver and everyone said no

That is a myth, the play and charge kit does not work on PC. They're very specific about this on their homepage and I can tell you that it doesn't work from experience as well. The play and charge kit works exlusively for charging, not USB connectivity.

 

You didn't waste your Money.

Yeah same for me, I was tired of running out of batteries in the middle of games. Tried it for PC, didn't work!
