Jun 08, 2014  This is a short and quite easy tutorial on how to use your Xbox One controller on your PC by installing the newly released drivers by Microsoft which works on both Windows 7 and 8/8.1.

After installing the Xbox One controller on Windows 10 and rebooting, my system ran very very slow. How slow? I had never seen the 'Preparing Security Options' message from Windows when I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del, and putting up that message was all Ctrl-Alt-Del would do. Right-mouse-click on the Windows start icon would not bring up anything, and the Explorer would open a window but never display the contents of the folder requested. Tray icons could be accessed at normal speed. If I go to Safe Mode and delete:

C:WINDOWSINFOEM118.inf

C:WINDOWSSystem32driversFW_ACC_00U.bin

Controller

C:WINDOWSSystem32driversmt7612US.sys

my system returns to its normal zippy self. (The OEM118 file is generated by Oculus Rift install, so I think it's related but not essential to remove).

When I selected 'Update Drivers' from Device Manager, I was always told I had the most current driver files for the Xbox wireless transceiver.

I use an EDIMAX wireless nub to connect to the building wifi. My board is an Asus Z170 Sabertooth Mark 1, with 32GB RAM, Intel i7-6700K 4.00GHz. I have a Samsung 950 NVMe, Intel 480 SSD, Kinect, wireless MS ergo mouse, and wireless 3Dconnexion space mouse, and an Oculus Rift that works with its sensor and clicker.

This is on Windows 10 Pro Version 1511 Build 10586.420, with Check for Updates saying nothing more to install.

What is causing the conflict?

Windows 8.1

On a computer running Windows 8.1, you can use Devices and Printers in Control Panel to troubleshoot the controller. Here’s how:

  1. On the Start screen, select Control Panel.
  2. Select View Devices and Printers.
  3. Verify that the controller appears under Devices, and then right-click the controller and select Game controller settings.
  4. Check the Status of the controller, and then select Properties.
  5. On the Test tab, test that the controller works correctly. If there are any issues, select Calibrate on the Settings tab.
  6. If you continue to experience any issues, right-click the controller under Devices in Devices and Printers, and then select Troubleshoot.

Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows

On Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows, you can use Device Manager to help troubleshoot problems with your controller, see whether the correct items are listed, and to make sure there are no conflicts.

Note A conflict is marked by a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.

To use Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Select Start, then Run, then type sysdm.cpl, and then select OK.
  2. On the Hardware tab, select Device Manager.
  3. When the controller is successfully installed, you see three entries in Device Manager. There should be two entries under Human Interface Devices:
    • HID-compliant game controller
    • USB Human Interface Device
    Additionally, there should be a third entry in under Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class:
    • Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
  4. If you see yellow exclamation points next to any of these entries, there's a problem with the installation. If there's a problem for either of the entries under Human Interface Devices, first verify that the problem is caused by the controller by unplugging it. If a hardware conflict with the controller was causing the problem, the yellow exclamation point will no longer appear after the controller is unplugged.

To resolve controller problems in Device Manager, try these solutions one at a time (move to the next solution only if the one you’re trying fails to resolve your problem):
