Xbox Controller Driver Not Installing

So I tried to plug in my Xbox One Spectra controller to play a game.

Nothing, no response.

[SOLVED] recently i bought the xbox one controller + wireless adapter for windows 10. When i connected the adapter to my pc it said that the driver is unavailable. I have been in contact with xbox live support but nothing worked so far. The controller works fine when using the micro usb cable. Xbox 360 Controller Driver not Working – How to Fix. If you are a professional gamer and play high end games on your Windows 10 PC or laptop then this article will help you.

I look at the Device Manager and it tells me the only thing it has is an Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

There is no Xbox Controller driver of any variety listed anywhere.

I double-checked Windows Update--it assures me it's up-to-date.

So I hunt down the 64-bit Xbox One Controller drivers from the support website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc

Not

I run it. It tells me its installed, but if I try to manually select the driver it just doesn't show up, I have to uncheck compatible driver and get the giant list of manufacturer's and models--I still don't see any controller drivers listed anywhere, and the controller still isn't responding.

The drivers definitely installed as well because if I run the program again it asks me if I want to repair/remove it.

I tried driverquery and Get-WMIobject to look at drivers as well--there's no xbox drivers there.

I've restarted the computer to no avail.

The closest I've gotten was one time when I restarted the PC and the device manager had dropped the yellow exclamation from the unknown device and when I tried to manually select a driver I got a different list of apparently compatible drivers (I didn't need to uncheck the compatible drivers box), but when I tried to select Xbox peripherals nothing happened and when I tried going back it was back to having nothing listed except the unknown driver.

I know the controller itself should be compatible--I've seen video of others installing drivers for the controller and it works for them.

Does anyone have a solution, like a way to force Windows to update and give me the relevant drivers?
