I'm having a problem installing a wired 360 controller to my windows 7 64 bit pc.
I understand that there are lots of threads about this, but the software seems to be so badly designed that every problem is unique and most answers have little relevance to my problem.
When I plug the controller into the USB port, it says 'USB device not recognized' and won't install the driver.
I have installed the driver software and it appears under the start menu, however when i try to manually update the driver via device manager, the driver does not appear in the menu. for clarity, I am talking about the 'manual driver update' process, I navigate to the Microsoft section but there is in the box is keyboard/officer drivers, no controller ones.
I read somewhere that this may be caused by permissions. but I am the only user on the system and so I have no idea how to remedy that.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Solved Windows 7 does not detect driver for third party Xbox 360 USB wired controller My Xbox360 wired controller keeps doing this on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Can i use an xbox360 wired. Oct 31, 2018 - If you've got a wired Xbox 360 controller, skip straight to Install software. Choose which version of Microsoft Windows you're using — the Windows 7 drivers. If not, you'll need to connect the wireless Xbox 360 controller with. Here's a great Xbox controller driver for the Mac that works with Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers. If the driver requests security permissions, you must approve them to get the controllers working. Once the driver is installed, Parsec will recognize your controller.

I updated to the new 1.7 update, then my controller wouldn't work. I tried to reinstall and it didn't work, I uninstalled the DS3 driver (as it was the one from the new updated, hoping it would use the older driver), didn't work, I tried to install an older version and it didn't work, I then saw that the driver for the virtual controller was updated too, I uninstalled that driver, reinstalled the older version yet again and then the controller was detected yet again. |

Have you noticed that a clean wipe is needed? |
commented Apr 10, 2016
I did, and I performed it... The clean wipe does not seem to remove the older drivers once they're installed in the system, not that the older drivers seemed to have any effect, like I said, the new drivers for the virtual controller are the ones that appear not to work properly. |

Try to remove any Xbox 360 virtual controllers, PS3 controllers and the Virtual Bus from the Devices Manager and the Driver Store. Then retry installation of the drivers |

I've done that, uninstalling the driver was the only way to fix it. I've reinstalled the driver a bunch of times already and that did not help, the issue remains the same, the controller appears as a detected device in the devices manager, it recognizes it as an xbox 360 controller, but it won't work in games, won't send or receive any input, checking the 'Game Controllers' setting doesn't show the controller there, while the older drivers do. |

Same problem here. Controller is connecting and got this error: I see the connected controller in the scp monitor, but it doesn't working. I tried clean wipe and reinstall drivers but I got same result all the time. |

Xbox 360 Controller Driver Not Installing Windows 7
That's because I'm an idiot >_< I somehow overlooked that the wrong hardware ID is in the For a manual fix, try replacing the assigned drivers manually: EDIT: ba-dum-ts |
commented Apr 12, 2016
Thx. But when I installed the driver manually I got blue screen with 'DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION (ScpVBus.sys)' message. I got this messege in 1.6 version of ScpToolkit before. Thats why I wan't to install 1.7 |
