Accidently Changed Xbox One Controller Driver

After installing the Xbox One controller on Windows 10 and rebooting, my system ran very very slow. How slow? I had never seen the 'Preparing Security Options' message from Windows when I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del, and putting up that message was all Ctrl-Alt-Del would do. Right-mouse-click on the Windows start icon would not bring up anything, and the Explorer would open a window but never display the contents of the folder requested. Tray icons could be accessed at normal speed. If I go to Safe Mode and delete:

Microsoft revealed today that PC drivers are now available for the Xbox One controller.

Major Nelson made the announcement, offering direct links to download the PC drivers for the Xbox One controller. 'The new PC drivers will enable the Xbox One controller to be used with any game that featured gamepad support for the Xbox 360 controller,' Nelson wrote. 'Simply download the drivers, connect your Xbox One controller to your computer through a micro USB cable and you’ll be gaming in no time.'

While Microsoft confirmed PC compatibility for the Xbox One last year, rumors popped up in March that contradicted that information. However, Microsoft quickly debunked the misinformation earlier this year, and now PC drivers are available for download. Microsoft also plans to release the drivers as part of a Windows update in the near future.
