Just got a new PC so had to resetup my xbox 360 controller with it. I've got the receiver plugged in and have installed all the drivers, however the xbox controller still won't pair. I click the pairing button on the controller and it starts searching, as soon as I click the button on the receiver it stops searching and all 4 green lights start flashing at once, but the controller doesn't connect.
Anything I can do?
I've gone into device manager and installed the drivers via there, and installed drivers via downloading them and still no go.

Just fixed this for myself on Windows 7, seems like the 'decade long windows expert' here is not of much help.
Go to Device Manager > find the Unknown Device(which is your Xbox 360 controller connector) > right click on it > click Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Pick Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class and finish the installation wizard. Enjoy your 360 controller again!
I have the same exact problem. I think it might have to do with a recent windows update. It used to work on my PC days ago, and all of a sudden now it doesn't pair. I do remember a long windows update not so long ago.
Ditto, I am having the same issue.
Hi,
I have followed all those instructions and no luck.
Like I said, I try pairing them and the xbox controller just starts flashing all 4 green. So it must know that it's there its just not actually connecting.
Edit: unsure if relevant but for some reason when I click Driver details (for the reciever) it says no driver "required or loaded for this device", despite the fact I literally just updated said driver.
