Streamlined Input Device Driver, Xbox to Windows

After you connect your Xbox One Controller to your Windows 10 PC, you find that you can’t play games using the controller. You may assume the driver is not installed. But it’s expected that Windows automatically downloads and installs the driver for the controller. What happen then?

You’re right that Windows 10 automatically installs the driver as soon as you connect it to the computer. But it’s still possible that Windows doesn’t install the driver. In this case, you need to update the driver on your own. There are two ways to install and update the driver. Just choose the way that’s easier for you.

Way 1:Update the Driver via Device Manager
Way 2:Update the Driver Using Driver Easy

Way 1: Update the Driver via Device Manager

If Windows doesn’t install the driver automatically, you can update the driver manually via Device Manager. Follow these steps:

  1. On your keyboard, pressWin+R (Windows logo key and R key) at the same time to invoke the run box.

  2. Typedevmgmt.msc and pressEnter on your keyboard.

  1. Expand the branch Microsoft Xbox One Controller .

  2. Right-click on the expanded Microsoft Xbox One Controller and selectUpdate driver (On lower Windows 10 versions, selectUpdate Driver Software).
