So I recently bought a new Xbox 360 controller for pc in order to play some interesting steam games. But when I plug the controller in with the wired cable ( not a wireless charging cable I checked) the 4 lights start flashing simultaneously but the controller does not get detected in any way (not by the device manager or the Xbox accessories software.

Before people waste their time:
1.) I do not own a xbox 360
2.) Yes I have tried different usb ports, both 2.0 and 3.0
3.)I don't know how to uninstall or update the drivers for it because its not detected
4.)I tried my ps3 controller and that connected and worked just fine, but I dont use it because I prefer the Xbox 360 controller and dont want to waste time setting up with ps3 controller with mothinINjoy

Thank you in advance
