serious help please: Xbox One Controller

[Airk]

ok i bought a new xbox one controller for ds1 remaster.

im on windows 7. im FULLY updated, including the updates it says are needed for xbox one controller.
the only item in device manager flashing, is the controller.
ive followed atleast 20 different guides, fron toms hardware to youtube.

im fully updated and all chipset drivers seem good togo.
ive tested multiple other devices on the cables, and ports.

NOTHING i can do will get this controller (or any Xbox ONE controller) to respond.
ive plugged the controller and cords into another computer and they worked there.

i even stayed up ALL NIGHT reinstalling windows completely, all new drivers and everything. still the same problem!

most of the issues about this seem to be from 5 years ago, and theyre supposed to have all been resolved with the windows updates im confirmed to haveinstalled correctly. (when i try to install them again it jsut says already installed, ive even un/reinstalled them several times.
PLEASE HELP!

Are you connecting with Bluetooth or USB?

usb. ive tried with and without batteries
and the cable definitly works i just tested both on another pc
ive even tested other controllers, even ds4 controller is working fine.
xbox one will not.
ive also tried every port on my computer already.

usb cord works.
drivers 100% up to date and quadruple confirmed...
nothing else flashing in device manager....
controller confirmed to work...

windows will not find drivers.

I've recently tried to install an XBOX One controller on Windows 7 without success. It works well on Windows 10 for me tho.

Is your OS 32-bit?

If you get it to work, please keep us posted about what you did.

the pain is, ive got them working fineon other windows 7 pcs.
64 bit

thats whats so mind boggling right now.
and EVERYTHING is saying that windows is supposed to just automatically detect and do this on windows 7 now.
i see one post on toms hardware saying they removed it in an update, but it has multiple replies saying that theirs worked fine after same update/

ill buy an xbox 360 controller before a buy windows 10
ive followed every guide out there to every set of drivers and updates, and everryone says already installed.
ive even uninstalled/reinsallted them all, to no avail.
ive even reinsalled windows and all drivers.
still nada.

buy a bluetooth adapter instead. im on w10 and using bluetooth adapter

Dumb question but the one thing I noticed you didn't verify: Is the USB port still good? Have you tried other devices in it? Maybe a cheap controller from your local retailer? I got a XBOX 360 controller at Gamestop for $15 and one from 2nd and Charles for $22.
They are used but work great. I'm on Win 10 now, but I never had a problem with XBox 360 controllers on Win 7.

ah yes i forgot i thought i mentioned all that.
yep ive tested the devices, and the ports, with other devices.
the usb ports are all workin normal, and even the auto driver thing worked for plugging in other new devices. even tested to make sure its a data style cable.

im sure theres probably something stupid im skipping..... but i swear ive done everything... like i said ro the point that i reinsallted the whole os and tried again...
i may end up going back to an 360 controller but theyre so sketchy. ive gone through 3 in the last year, official ones actually NIB, that were squeaky and obnoxious, had faulty buttons, unresponsive triggers that i had to squeeze super tight.. etc.
i was really hoping to up grade but for the cost i suppose i could go buy like 4 used 360 controllers and call it a day.....
ASSUMING that they still work now taht ive rescrambled everything jeez.
ill update after a nap.

Real talk, the XBOX One controller is garbage, I own one, and I find cheap 20$ knock off 360-controllers to be more comfortable to use.

ok, i have a xbox one controller wireless for pc and i have had my own sets of problems even with windows 10.

i think you would need win 10 for the controller to work properly.
you can get a win 10 update for just $12.

what kind of controller is it? is it xbone controller (xbone slim version) or the "for PC" model?
they are different you know.

have u tried a game like witcher 3 with it?

I think the way i fixed mine was to install a VC installer package, but i can not remember what was that really.

also, i can not find on the MS website if the xbone controller can be used with usb cable. its all wireless or bluetooth (correct me if im wrong)

[nirvana_sth]

i think this one answers everything:

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-and-troubleshoot-xbox-one-bluetooth-issues-windows-10

according to this, only way to connect xbone controller to pc using win 7 is having the wireless adapter. bluetooth is also not supported for win 7.
so yeh.
