1. Xbox One Controller Driver Windows 7

This may seem old, but lately I got an XBox One controller for the PC (Windows 7), yet it does not work, as I do not have the drivers for it.I tried to install them through Windows Update, which is supposedly the only way to get them, but it did not find any. Likewise, tried to download some (or else, the only one that was repeated over and over again throughout many sites), but it still didnot work.

The odd thing is that, for some reason, the controller did work in another computer, this one with Windows 10.Is there any chance that certain drivers are locked from certain versions of Windows? I tried to copy said drivers from the Windows 10 version into the Windows 7, but it still did not work at all.Is there any solution to this? I.e A way to manually download them? Hi,Did you get this to work? When Microsoft first released the driver/s for the Xbox One controller they were available from a download page, this page has now been removed. The official way to download the drive is via Windows Update.If you have automatic updates on, when you connect the controller to a PC it should automatically download the required driver.If you're downloading the driver from some other website or link, be aware that there are two versions for Windows 7, a 32 bit and 64 bit. You need to download the version that fits your Windows Install.

If your computer is new and has at least 8 GB of RAM,it will be the 64 bit version.Windows 10 already has drivers for all Xbox controllers built in to the OS, which is why the controller works straight away on Win 10 machines. The Windows 10 driver can not be used on Windows 7. When you connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to your Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 PC with a micro-USB cable, Windows will automatically download and install the drivers for the controller. I'm having the same issue and cannot solve it.The device is displayed correctly under bluetooth, but not in device manager so i cannot update the driver manually and the downloads failed to fix the problem.Windows 7Xbox One controllergoing mad hereOh.

I just noticed this is an old topic.Instead of bumping an old topic, you might have better luck if you create your own topic that explains your issue.Not a Microsoft Employee. Just a fellow member of the community that likes to help out every now and then.

Windows 7 supports the controller ONLY via USB cord or the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Make sure it's NOT the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 (as this also only works on Windows 10), and notthe Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver.Also, if your PC supports it, you can still try to install Windows 10, and supply your Windows 7 serial number to license it.Do it before January 2020, as Windows 7 then leaves support and won't get any security updates anymore!

The newly released Xbox One controller drivers are not installing properly on my PC. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm trying to install the official 64bit driver from here, I've snapped a screenshot of the error message. Might anyone know why I'm getting the error above? I'm quite tech savvy and I still can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance. This vid has the links in the description for 32&64bit drivers. I think MS has pulled them offline as they're Supposed to be included via windows update. I'd try to uninstall in the device manager manually and then restart, install the right driver and try again.
