Question

Is there an available driver for wired Xbox One Controllers?

Anonymous

The first time I plugged it in to a usb port, it automatically checked if it was compatible with the Xbox One driver but it didn't do or say anything else and it didn't pop up in the file explorer. Every time I plugged it in again the same thing happened except it didn't check if it was compatible with the Xbox One driver.

I checked in devices and printers in the control panel the controller was in the unspecified section. I looked at it's properties and it said Driver Not Available, Needs Troubleshooting in Status. So I did and it said that it couldn't find a driver for this device.

The name of the controller is Xbox ONE Pro Ex controller, any suggestions or drivers would help. Unless they just don't work on pc. Or I am posting this in the wrong section.

I had the same controller (the pro ex) and I fixed my driver issue!!

Make sure your have administrator privileges, or you won't be able to Update the Driver.
Open Device Manager and locate the controller.
Right click and navigate to Update Driver
Click Browse my computer for a driver,
Click Let me pick from a list,
Look for something like the xbox one controller driver, mine was Xbox peripherals (legacy) but there are others. If you don't have the driver anywhere, then there is a link in this comment thread to the Microsoft Xbox One Driver, but it should show if your Windows is up to date (run windows update to check).

The rest should be vanilla,

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that you are facing issues with XBOX drivers.

This might have occurred due to hardware conflicts.

Run the Hardware Devices troubleshooter.

An automated troubleshooter is a tool that can find and automatically fix some problems with your computer. These troubleshooters aren't designed to fix every problem, but they're a useful tool to try because they can often save your time and effort.

a)       Press “Windows Logo” + “W” keys from the keyboard.

b)       Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.

c)       In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.

d)       Click on “Hardware and Devices"

f)        Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

You may refer to the articles as well.

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other assistance with Windows in future. We will be happy to assist you.

Sorry it took me so long to respond but I have tried what you have recommended but there are 2 problems found when I do so.

First one is

Xbox ONE Pro Ex controller doesn't have a driver	Not fixed

The second one is

Hardware changes might not have been detected	Detected

So I think the problem is that there is no driver for wired controllers and just if you wanted to know this is what it looks like.

I had the same issue with my controller. I had to use an older broken xbox one controller to have the driver installed correctly, then switched over to the new controller and it works.
