I just got an Xbox One controller to use with my PC. I plugged it in, and the drivers failed to install properly ("Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)").

I uninstalled the drivers and downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website. It seemed to install, but then when I plugged in the controller, it tried to install the drivers off the controller again, which then again failed.

I read in a previous thread about updating Windows, but that didn't help, either.

Can anyone help me?

You could try disabling driver signature check though is not a recommended action. Open RUN and type : bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON
To enable driver signature use: bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON

I seem to have sorted the issue. I uninstalled Windows Update KB3004394. I have no idea if this is actually what solved the problem or if there is any correlation whatsoever, but it seemed that after I uninstalled this update, rebooted, uninstalled the controller drivers, and then plugged the controller in again, the controller worked.
