While Windows 10 is nowhere near as infamous with Xbox accessory installation issues as 7.8.x are, problems can still come up. When this happens, the only option is usually manual intervention. |

If you run into problems with Windows 10, this guide will show you how to install the drivers manually to fix automatic installation failures. |

== Guide notes == |
* In most cases, Windows 10 installations are far less troublesome. While manual intervention is required in some situations, these occurrences don't happen as regularly. |
* These steps are intended to be used in Windows 10. For Windows 7/8.x, refer to the corresponding guide. |
* You are far more likely to have the automatic driver installation work correctly starting with Windows 10. Since Microsoft planned Xbox accessory compatibility out of the gate, these problems are less frequent. |
* Since I do not know how to trigger the initial device installation window you usually get, I have omitted this part from the guide. This is the case because I used this computer to do a Windows 10 test installation before. |
