Windows 10 Xbox One Controller Driver Force Install

Four months after the launch of the console, Microsoft still hasn't released a PC driver for the Xbox One controller. Someone else has finally done it for them. With a few caveats, YouTube user Lucas Assis has uploaded video instructions and a driver that will make your Xbox One controller work with your PC. The video is 11 minutes long, so it's not exactly a plug and play solution, but if you really like the Xbox One controller this will get it talking to your PC.

  • Normally Xbox 360 controller may not operate on Windows 10 because of the lousy driver, and if that’s the reason the very best manner is to uninstall that driver and enable a window to install it again.

Periodically Xbox 360 controller may not work on Windows 10 because of the outdated or unmaintained drivers, and if that is the reason, your Xbox 360 controller is not functioning properly, the best way is to uninstall the already existing driver and allow the Windows to install it again.

Assis' solution uses a combination of a generic USB driver, controller emulating software vJoy, libusb (which allows applications to access USB devices), and his own application, which supports up to 16 (!) controllers. All of these are included in the download .

Basically, after downloading it you'll need to:

  • Open your device manager and plug in your Xbox One controller
  • Install the WinUSB device driver (a Windows driver)
  • Install vJoy
  • Open vJoy and use it to detect the controllers
  • Install libusb, launch its filter installer wizard and use it to install the two WinUSB devices that are your controllers.
  • Open Assis' app.

Assis does a good job of walking you through these steps in the video. They're are little involved, but nothing you need a computer science degree for.

From there you'll probably want to install XPadder or x360ce (included in the download) to make it work with games as if it were an Xbox 360 controller. As you'll see in the video, x360ce is a little problematic, and Assis still has some issues with the d-pad, but until Microsoft offers something better, we'll have to make do with homemade solutions. And it took Assis all of a day to make his application. By the time Microsoft gets around to fully supporting the controller, this utility may have ironed out all the kinks.

Controller OSX Parallels Windows 10 problem

Hey I have been trying to use my Xbox One controller on Parallels in Windows 10 for game streaming, but haven't had any luck. When I plug the controller in, it is detected by Windows but the device installation fails. I downloaded the most current drivers from Microsoft, but still no luck.

The game streaming feature works good no issues there. I just can't control it from the computer. I can connect the controller to the Xbox and watch it work on my computer.

I am running the release build of Windows 10. I tried it on the earlier pre-release builds with no luck either.

Xbox One Wired Controller Driver

This is the error in device manager: 'The Device cannot start. (Code 10). Operation Failed. The requested operation was unsuccessful'

I am assuming it is a OSX driver issue? Parallels see's the controller as well... Anyone doing it with this combo?
