I can't seem to find anything that can fix this intermittent behavior and I can't rollback to previous windows build. If you intend to use your Xbox 360 controller on your PC, you absolutely must have the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. I haven't done a windows reinstall yet, and I really don't want to spend the time to do so unless I know for sure that it will fix the issue.Īlso, all other peripherals I've connected to my pc still work just fine. Therefore, the Xbox 360 wireless controller cannot be used with standard wireless devices in your computer.
I dont need the receiver as I am plugging it in using the attachable wire. If it makes any difference, my pc setup is in my profile. Neither XP or Vista have drivers when I plug in the Xbox 360 wireless controller. In all scenarios, as soon as the wireless adapter is plugged in and the controller is turned on, the controller connects immediately. If you have Windows 10, directly go to Step 3.

Before using this product, read this manual and the Xbox 360 console manuals for important safety and health information.
Step 2 Install Xbox 360 Controller driver (for users with Windows 7 or a lower version) This step is only for those using Windows 7 or a lower version. The Xbox 360 Controller is for use with the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and with most Microsoft® Windows® XP-based computers. Starting to want to pull my hair out, so I bought a brandnew KO wireless adapter and a brandnew KO wireless controller and they both exhibit the same behavior as the MS versions. Now the wireless connection between the two devices is complete. Sadly, that rollback window to previous OS build has come and gone. I started out with the MS official adapter and controller about 3 years ago, and those have worked great until that recent windows update.
I've done the usual uninstall/reinstalling drivers for the adapter and controller, didn't help. My xbox 360 wireless controller keeps intermittently disconnecting from the xbox 360 wireless adapter, this started soon after Windows 10 on my pc finally updated itself to build 2004 about 2 months ago. To save myself time typing, KO = knock-off
