Xbox 360 Controller Drivers not Installing on Windows 7


Following these instructions from Microsoft my aftermarket Xbox 360 controller is not working on Windows 7. Any suggestions?


Missing Driver Alert



Answer



You can often use the available drivers after telling Windows which drivers to use:



  1. Download and install the driver software for your windows version

  2. Plug in the Xbox 360 Controller

  3. Open the Device Manager (WindowsKey + R, then type devmgmt.msc)

  4. Find the icon for the controller, likely under other devices

  4. Select "Let me pick from a list"

  5. Select "Microsoft Common Controller For Windows Class" on Windows 7, or "Xbox 360 Peripherals" on Windows 8+, and press next

  6. Select the appropriate driver and press next
