The Xbox One Controller is a fantastic gamepad, and although Microsoft has only recently started bundled the drivers for it in Windows 10, there are drivers available for Windows 7 and 8 on their website. Mac users do not have an official driver, but there is an lightweight open source solution that works well.
![]() Four months after the launch of the console, Microsoft still hasn't released a PC driver for the Xbox One controller. Someone else has finally done it for them. With a few caveats, YouTube user Lucas Assis has uploaded video instructions and a driver that will make your Xbox One controller work with your PC. XBOX ONE Controller Not Connecting Correctly (USB Cannot Detect.) CyanideIsOK Jan 23, 2017, 5:28 PM Hello, I have been trying to plug my XBOX ONE controller into my computer to use it in games. That’s because Windows 10 has the Xbox drivers installed as part of the Xbox accessories app. If you use Windows 8, you will need to manually update the Device Manager. Connect your Xbox One controller to your PC and let it be detected by Windows. Right click the Windows Start button and select Device Manager. Navigate to the Microsoft Xbox One controller entry. Method 3: Update the Xbox One Controller Driver. If the Xbox One Controller driver is missing or corrupted, the controller cannot work properly on your PC. So you can try to update the controller driver. There are two methods to update the driver. This method is update the driver manually via Device Manager. For all operating systems, the controller will only connect over the USB cable, not wirelessly, however Microsoft is releasing an adapter later this fall. Windows DriversWindows provides driver downloads on their support page. Be sure to download the correct version (32 bit or 64 bit) for your architecture. After installation, your controller should work fine when plugged in, but it may still be synced with the console. If it is, just turn the console and the controller off, plug in the controller, and turn the controller back on. If you want to use the controller on your Xbox again, you’ll have to do the same process to sync it to the console. You can check if the controller is working in the Devices panel in the settings, under ‘Connected Devices’. It should display simply as ‘Controller’. Alternatively, the home button on the controller will be lit and not flashing. Mac DriversThe Mac driver package, called Xone-OSX, is created by FranticRain on Github. The source code is available, but for anyone wanting a simple package to install, check the releases page. There is a disk image with a package installer that will automatically install the drivers and the System Preferences panel to go along with it. ![]() The controller will register in most Steam games as an input device, and can be configured in the ingame settings, but for anyone looking to use the controller outside of games or map the buttons to specific keys, there is a freeware application, Enjoyable, which works incredibly well. You can even map the joystick and trigger buttons to control the mouse, which works very well with games like Minecraft or any first-person shooter. Note that your controller will show up in some menus, including in Enjoyable, as an Xbox 360 controller. There isn’t really a difference internally as both the gamepads have the same layout. Linux DriversXbox One Controller To Pc Not WorkingSurprisingly, other than Windows 10, Linux is the only OS in the list to include native support for the Xbox One Controller. If your distro is running any kernel version past 3.17, you are good to go. SteamOS also has support for the controller.

My Pc Does Not Have Xbox One Controller Driver UpdateXbox one Controller not connecting to PC and not showing up on device manager.So I used to be able to play Rocket League with a wireless controller, connected by wire to my PC. (Xbox one controller) Xbox Controller Will Not Connect To PcOne day the controller started flashing at me and it wouldn't let me use it. Looked up problems, people telling me to update drivers but I'm retarded when it comes to computers. I can get to device manager and I see that there is nowhere where it says Xbox, at all. I can show screen shots if it helps. Xbox One Controller DriverSuffice to say I thought my xbox controller stopped working so I bought another one. (it was working one day and the next it wasn't and I don't remember any updates on windows so was like 'meh, it's probably just old') Connecting new controller (Xbox One S) just now and still nothing. (I also bought a new micro USB thinking the wire was busted, but nope, still not working) Just flashing away at me and nothing showing up on device manager and Microsoft website is a complete nightmare to navigate for me. I need someone to guide me to where I'm going wrong, and pretend like I'm 5! I'd really appreciate it.
