I honestly have no idea anymore, when I got this controller in december it worked fine when I plugged it in, now it shows up as an Unknown USB Device(Device Descriptor Request Failed) after I updated my Laptop.

Pretty much the same problem here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2871920/wired-xbox-360-controller-windows.html

Sounds like it's damaged. The drivers for 360 pads are included with windows 10, so you should be able to plug 'n' play.

That's how it worked for me anyway.

Maybe someone will google this in the future and find this helpful:

I had the same problem and unplugged and replugged in the little connector towards the end of the cord. The circular bit. Fixed instantly.

Pork Pockets THANK YOU! I've been trying to fix this for the past hour, about to give up, and unplugged it a few times and it ended up working. Bless your soul.

I don't understand what u mean by that. Please elaborate on "little connector towards the end of the cord. The circular bit."
