Hi,
Just recently, my Xbox 360 wired controller stopped working Windows 7 (64 bit). When I plug the controller into the USB port, a small pop-up message appears in the bottom right corner stating "USB Device Not Recognized."
This issue just occurred two days ago. Previously, the controller worked perfectly fine. I just plugged in the controller and the Windows would automatically download the necessary software to make it work. But, when I plugged in the controller two days ago, a new Windows Update appeared for Xbox controller, so I downloaded the update.
However, after that, my Windows is not recognizing the Xbox controller and shows as 'Unknown Device' under USB Human Interface Device in the Device Manager. I thought that the driver is not correctly installed so I downloaded the new driver 'Xbox 360 Accessories Software 1.2' from [Mircosoft's official website](https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/gaming/xbox-360-controller-for-windows/52a-00004#techspecs-connect).
But, the problem still exists. My Windows won't recognize my Xbox 360 controller. I read some older threads and tried some these fixes (from: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2652446/computer-recognize-xbox-360-controllers-anymore.html), but still no luck. Here is what I have tried so far:
- Uninstall and reinstalled the new driver.
- Connected the controller in USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.
- Tried downloading the driver for Windows 7 32 bit.
- Checked the controller by plugging it into my Xbox 360 (the controller works perfectly fine)
Please can anyone advice what should I do. Looking for help!
