Looking to Buy the PDP Afterflow Xbox One Controller Here is the link: Connecting and Afterglow Xbox one Controller to Window 10 PC. The PDP Xbox One controllers can work on a Windows PC. If the controller does not work immediately upon connecting to a PC, then you may need to update the official Microsoft drivers in your PC through Windows Update. The controllers work plug 'n' play with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, with the latest updates installed. After plugging PDP Controller into PC it says its not recognized. Im running windows 10 with all updates installed.After installing drivers from pdp site it doesnt work either.
Feb 2, 2018 - You can update drivers through Windows Update. But sometimes Windows Update may cause update errors. “Device driver software was not. 5) Unplug the Xbox One Controller. 6) Restart your PC. 7) Plug the controller again. Windows will install the driver automatically. 8) In Device Manager, right-click on the device and click Update Driver Software 9) Click Search automatically for Updated driver software. Then Windows will install a new driver automatically.
Hello.
As a gift, I've purchased for my nephew an Xbox One Controller (for PC) to use as a wired controller on his Windows 7 PC. It is my understanding that for use with Windows 7, a driver download will be necessary (unlike Windows 10, which natively supports the controller without the need to install drivers).
The problem is that the target Windows 7 machine *has no internet access* (which is one reason why it hasn't yet been upgraded to Windows 10.) My intention was to use my own system to download the drivers onto a USB stick, and then send it (along with the controller) to my nephew, who could install the drivers directly from the USB stick. Unfortunately, I've searched online for a download link to the Windows 7 drivers for that controller, but all I can find is instructions on how to allow Windows to automatically download and install the drivers. That would of course be fine if internet access was available to that PC, but it's not. What I need is a link to a file that I can download, copy to a USB stick, and then run separately as an installer on the target machine.
Can anyone point me to such a link?
It's also unfortunate that my nephew's system is a full PC tower, and is simply not portable. Otherwise, we might have been able to bring it to someplace where we could temporarily hook it up to the internet. That however is not possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
My issue was that when I was plugging in my XBox One controller in my Windows 7 PC, the error was popping up that the 'USB Device could not be identified.' Good job Microsoft.

The sad thing about this is that on Windows 7, the drivers for the Xbox One Controllers specifically are supposed to download automatically when the device is plugged in. Obviously, since the Device Manager cannot identify the device in the first place, it doesn't know what drivers it needs to automatically download.
Unfortunately for all of us, the solution to manually download the drivers on the support website (http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc) is, at the time of writing, obsolete.
The webpage instructs you to follow these instructions:
Navigate to the Xbox One Controller results page on the MicrosoftUpdate Catalog
Download the correct version of the driver for your operating system(64bit vs 32bit)
Extract the contents of the .cab into a file directory.
Right click on the xb1usb.inf file, click install, and click yes.
However, users will find that when doing 'Right Click/Install' on the 64bit version of the drivers that the method of installation is no longer supported in the file. It throws the following error:
The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation

Instantly I wanted to do some dirty edits to the file to add the flags and lines required for it to be supported, however before I did something so absolutely and utterly stupid as to make manual edits to driver software without any knowledge whatsoever on the subject, I decided to take the device manager for a test run.
Here's what I did:
Load up Device Manager
Find the unidentified device on the list (will have a yellow errortriangle)
Click, 'update driver'
Click, 'browse my computer for driver software'
Click, 'let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
Then Click, 'Have Disk', and instead of selecting a disk drive,click browse
Find the IMF file that you downloaded from the Update Catalog,select it, and click Open.
The device drivers should install correctly now, and you'll be able to play your nerdy games with no dirty edits to the file.

On my Windows 7, my Xbox One controller works both, via USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, however, the controller's icon will show up in the Devices and printers menu only when I connect it via the USB 3.0 port! Hopefully this will also work on your PC.

I know this question is almost a year old, but there is an easier way to get the drivers. Although Microsoft removed the standalone driver installers from their website, there are still archived versions thanks to the Wayback Machine. It's as simple as using the installer and restarting your PC.
32-bit: Download
64-bit: Download
