I just got a XBox One controller and Windows didn't detect it when I plugged it in. This issue is present regardless of the controller (my brother got another one) and is only happening on my computer (my brother is doing fine). I'm connecting it via a Micro USB cable (the cable works fine with other devices or connecting the controller to my brother's PC).

The controller vibrates, and the light flashes a few times before shutting down. Device Manager states a 'driver problem' and updating drivers doesn't work.
I read a thread with a similar issue, and it was solved by manually updating drivers, selecting 'Microsoft Xbox One Controller'. That option does not appear on my list (similar options, like 'XBox One Controller' do appear, but don't work; the point is to choose 'Microsoft Xbox One Controller' specifically).
Of course, Windows support was no use at all, suggesting I used the XBox Accessories application, which I did. The app just launches and tells me to 'Connect an Xbox One controller to start'.
I finally succeeded by downloading the Windows 7/8 drivers. Games and system seem to recognize the controller now. Still, the XBox Accesories application doesn't, displaying the same text. I thought 'ok, let's update drivers now' and -boom- blue screen.
I had to uninstall and reinstall drivers to get it working again.
Though games do recognize the controller, I want to have access to all features of a One controller, namely the XBox Accesories app (which I understand will let me remap the controller) and updated and functioning drivers, since it is what I paid for.
Thanks in advance.

With this software and a compatible wireless receiver, you can use various Xbox 360 accessories such as wired and wireless game controllers, wired and wireless headsets, and wireless wheels for gaming on your computer. If you followed the setup instructions on the installation CD, you should be ready to use your device.

To view your controller quadrant and battery status on the screen, press the Xbox Guide button.
