Titanfall 2 Wired Xbox One Controller for Windows 10

I just bought the aforementioned controller yesterday. The driver automatically installs, and I see that windows recognizes it, but it does not light up at all. I unplugged it and re plugged it, and windows makes the appropriate chimes. I try updating the driver, using older drivers, and nothing seems to work. I looked in device manager, and its listed under Xbox Peripherals as 'Xbox Gaming Device'.  I looked into the events tab for the device, and I saw at some points that the device could not be migrated. I think I may be missing critical files, or there may be some sort of conflict with the driver.

I plugged it into my girlfriend's laptop (also runs windows 10), and it works perfectly fine. Saw the same 'device could not be migrated' in her events tab as well-despite it working perfectly. I also tried cross referencing drivers between our computers in the system32 folder to see if she had files that I did not. I could not find anything that stood out to me. I even ran SFC.exe in the command prompt as an administrator. No missing or corrupt files detected.

Please help.

I do not want to do a clean install of windows 10, as I'd lose a lot of my games that I've downloaded. It would be a pain in the **** to re d/l all of them. But if its the only option, then I guess I have no choice.

I guess I should note that I had been using a Wireless Xbox 360 Adapter with a legit 360 controller up until yesterday, along with DS4 to use my PS4 controller. 

EDIT: I failed to mention that on my girlfriend's laptop's device manager, i see xinput compatible hid device under Human Interface Devices. I do not see this at all in my own device manager. I have the xinputhid.sys file on both computers.

    I don't know if this will help in this instance, and I have no experience with XBOX One controllers,

    but below is what I had to do when trying to install a Logitech controller that has both XINPUT and DINPUT

    (even though I had already manually installed the XBOX  driver).

    I don't recall exactly what was done, but...

    • If you don't still have your XBOX software installer download it again.
    • Go to Device Manager and R/click on your XBOX Controller
    • Click on Update Driver Software
    • Select the Browse My Computer option.
    • Browse to the location you have saved the driver installer to and click Next to install.

    Or...

    • Select the 'Let Me Pick' option. Your previously installed XBOX controller driver should

    be on the list, so just click on this and select Next.

    [ Cross fingers and do a quick highland jig for luck. ]

    [ EDIT: "I guess I should note that I had been using a Wireless Xbox 360 Adapter with a legit 360 controller"

    Try uninstalling the 360 driver, and any other related software. Reboot before trying the XBOX One controller again ]

    Reinstalling Windows is very rarely necessary, and is really just a lazy way out that, in the end,

    can take longer than pushing on with more searching and troubleshooting.

    However, in the event that Windows does get fully stuffed (or HDD/SSD fails ) having a clone of your

    Windows can save lots of time and pain.

    • The next best option is to do a 'Repair' reinstall, as this does not wipe the Registry, so your games and software

    are not affected.

    • If your games are installed to the default location (Program Files x86) a clone is more problematic because

    doing a clone with hundreds of games on the same partition as Windows can take a very long time,

    but if you use a separate partition or HDD for your games, keeping a recent clone of Windows on

    and external drive can be a life saver.

    The games should also be copied to an external HDD, but because most games don't go through many changes,

    (Automatic Steam updates and modding excepted) this does not have to be done regularly.

    The only thing you need to be careful of is that you use the same drive letter/path should you need to

    restore your games from the external disk .

    Hi,

    Thank you for trying all the troubleshooting steps on your end. To further isolate the issue, we suggest deleting the current driver installed on your computer. After that, run the SFC.exe again. Also, check if there are any available updates on your computer.

    After doing all the troubleshooting steps above, kindly connect your controller to your computer to set it up again. You can check this link, and follow the steps.

    If the issue persists after doing the steps above, then we suggest performing a clean install on your computer.

    Keep us posted.
