PS1/PS2 controller adapter not working on Windows 11

Question

Hello. I recently purchased a PS1 controller, and am trying to use a PS1/PS2 controller adapter to connect it to my PC. My PC runs Windows 11, and it is not being read as a controller by my PC. I was wondering if there is something I am doing wrong or something I can do to fix this.

Answer 1

Hello Carson, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

What exactly is the adapter model?

Usually these adapters don't need anything to work, just plug them in;

Try connecting the adapter and controller;

Check Windows Update for pending updates;

Press Windows key + i and go to Windows Update;

Click Check for updates and do ALL pending updates;

After performing all the updates, restart the PC;

The control should work;

See you soon!
