    my xbox controller usb wont recognize my controller

    Hello real katus,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand that you are trying to connect your controller however, it is unrecognizable. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.



    For controller to work in a device, an update is necessary, in your case, we would like to confirm if you are trying to connect your controller on a specific device.

    1. What device are you trying to use?
    2. In my xbox controller usb wont recognize my controller, may we ask if you mean Xbox wireless adapter?
    3. What error message or code are you experiencing?
    4. What is the controller that you are using? Is this an Xbox Controller or a third-party controller?
    Troubleshooting you can try for your controller issue:

    • Restart device and see if your controller will connect.
    • Try to connect controller on a new device or a mobile. See if the new device and your mobile can recognize the controller.
    • For the controller driver, try Xbox accessories app. Should you be using Xbox Console, please try to sync your controller and go to settings to check on the controller added.

    We look forward to your response.

    Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

    Hi Stephan,

    There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
    of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

    • Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
    • Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
    • Have you tried to update the controller?
    • Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this
