Xbox 360 Wireless gaming receiver Installing Windows 8
I ran into a problem last night trying to install a Xbox wireless gaming receiver on Win 8, Going off Google it looks like I wasn't the only one and I couldn't find a fix.
Apparently with ms being no help with support and for some reason they haven't made a win 8 driver for it.
Here is how:
1- grab the latest software from here and install it
Software Downloads: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
I used the Windows 7 x64
2- Plug Wireless receiver into USB2 port I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they work with USB3
3- go to control panel > device manager and right click on unknown device then update driver software
4- Click "Browse for driver software on your computer"
5- Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
6- Then in the left column click Microsoft and it should show a list in the right column scroll all the way down to the bottom and you should see,
Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver For Windows 6.2.9200.16384 [25/7/2012]
7- Highlight that driver and ok/next and it will give you a message saying that it is not recommended or words to that extent, click ok let it install
8- Check in device manager and it should be installed and you should be able to pair your controller with the receiver as you would on Windows 7
9- Now go to the start menu and click the Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories Status app and check the controller is paired by pressing the guide button.
And that's it, for more information and support please visit:

This is great, windows 8 in xbox 360 perfect combination. Thank you for sharing this wonderful post, I will try to do this, hope you are open for any further question and inquiries. More writing a dissertation and scientific studies are necessary for this. However I do thank you for effort to balance things out.
ReplyDeleteXbox One Modded Controllers This is perfect for those who love their old 360 controllers, or had a real expensive modded 360 controller and now don't have to worry about buying another, or want to use a PS4 Dual shock 4 controller or want that extra edge by playing with a keyboard and mouse. Naturally you have full access to all of the mod packs too so you can now play with a fully modded controller on your Xbox One Modded Controllers - including our latest addition to the mudpack range, CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS V1.0 - again supplied free of charge and will be out very soon (Until it is released you can use the Call of Duty Series v1.7 Game Pack to work with COD Ghosts on the Xbox One)
