Jul 28, 2017 - Solve Xbox 360 controller not working problem on Windows 10 in two. 1) If you have installed Xbox 360 Accessories, please uninstall it from. If XBox 360 Controller Driver 0.12 is frozen, you can press Cmd +Opt + Esc, select XBox 360 Controller Driver 0.12 in the pop-up windows and click Force Quit to quit this program (this shortcut for force quit works for the application that appears but not for its hidden processes). Windows 10 won't allow me to install Xbox 360 wireless controller drivers (self.techsupport) submitted 3 years ago by Dukefriend I have the wireless adapter, and the xbox 360 controller, I go to device manager, update the drivers after downloading them off of the microsoft website, and I try to sync my controller.
So this past weekend I upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 and it went very well. I have a USB Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard and IntelliMouse 2.0 wireless mouse, both of which were prompted to install the software suit first thing after Win10 welcome desktop and worked perfectly.
However, I wanted to have a 'clean' install, so today I did a PC Reset. Everything went well til the Win10 screen to enter regional info, when my USB KB/Mouse weren't detected/working. Thankfully I still had an old PS/2 KB/Mouse that worked after a restart.
Here's the problem -
I used these to check my drivers -

and Intel said I didn't need any. I know the ports are good because my USB keyboard and mouse both light up during Intel Bios flash but go blank once
Windows 10 starts up.
I'm thinking there was something changed in the registry during the PC Reset that made these controllers incomplete. I also couldn't find anything on
Intel's website to download these drivers either. They tripped these events -

VEN_8086&DEV_27CA&SUBSYS_58428086&REV_013&61aaa01&0&EA

VEN_8086&DEV_27C8&SUBSYS_58428086&REV_013&61aaa01&0&E8
Funny how a clean install is supposed to work better than an upgrade lol.
Thanks for any help!
