Introduction |
| If you purchased an original Xbox Wireless Receiver for Windows and are having issues using it in Win10, this guide will show you how to install the driver manually if it is not automatically picked up. | | | While the need for this method is less frequent in Win10, it still happens from time to time. | | ADVANCE EOL HEADS UP: On 1/1/2023, Ithis guide will begin to phase this guidebe progressively phased out. On 1/1/2024, I will no longer support users with driver install issues that are found, but will correct major issuesmistakes. On 110/1/2025, I will consider this guide “Obsolete” (Win10 EOL: 10/14/2025).

***NOTE: While this guide will be obsolete on 110/1/2025, I will keep it up as long as I reasonably can but will consider it unsupported. If there are major issues that cause major breakdowns, I may pull the guide at this point.*** | | | == Guide notes == | | * In most cases, Windows 10 will “just work". If it does not automatically pick up and install the driver, manual installation may be required. ***''This improved compatibility is a result of Microsoft considering Xbox accessory compatibility in Windows 10.''*** | * Windows 8.x users: Refer to the [guide|102955|Windows 7/8.x guide]. SomeThere are a few steps are unique to Windows 10 which required modifications, so this guide is tailored around 10 exclusively. | * ***''NOTE: I did not get a initial install prompt, and do not know how to re-trigger it. As I used this laptop as a test it will not be visible. I do not know how to trigger the initial installation window manually. This is not shown since this laptop was used for testing after uninstalling the driver.''*** | | * ***I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS ADAPTER IN WINDOWS 11 YET. IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK.*** |
