a while back I made a video of how to connect your XBox controller to a receiver when you get
an error of unknown device but recently windows 10 has updated and it's now windows 10 2004
version which doesn't allow the same method anymore so in this video I’m going to show you the
new method that would work for windows 10 version 2004 let's get started let's connect the receiver
to the computer by plugging into your USB plug the light should turn on green now I’ve connected the
adapter and you can see nothing has happened after connecting the light on the receiver has turned on
but we don't see any signs of any connection so what we need to do is now to go to the start
and right click here and then click on device manager and if you come here you can see
under device manager other devices and we have got now an unknown device so now you need to right
click on it and then click on properties then you need to go to the details tab in the details tab
on the property drop down you need to select hardware ids here we have two hardware ids so
meanwhile open a notepad go to your start and type in notepad click on and select it and just type in
the last four digit of the id that looks more like this so which is 0 2 a 9 press ctrl s to save it
give it a name if you want to or just any name click save then we need to go to the Microsoft
download site I will provide a link in the description of this video here in the software
and driver select the version of your windows and then click on XBox 360 accessory software then
click on save and now we need to right click on it and click on extract here and you can see the
folders created in here and some of the files now click on XBox 360 folder double click the setup 64
double click the files they will click the driver they will click windows 7 and then what we are
interested is this item which says setup info the icon looks like this just right click it
and click on open vid and then select notepad click on ok you can see here the number that
we are interested is this and this needs to be replaced wherever it is stated in this document
with the new number that we got so ctrl c to copy this number so now select these four digits then
click on edit and then click on replace so this four digits are selected now to be replaced with
the one that we just copied press ctrl v to paste that you can click on match case and then click on
replace all you can see now it is replaced with the one that we just copied so now we can
close this press ctrl s to save it and then close it so to install it we need to go through another
hurdle and for that we need to enter to the test mode to do that we need to again right click on
the start and click on windows PowerShell to get to the test mode I’ll put these comments
in the description you need to select this comment from the description and paste it
in here and then if you press enter the operation completely successfully and then you have to close
all your files all the programs and click and restart your computer so you can see that now we
are in the test mode because the watermark is on and saying test mode this will allow us to install
now the drivers so double click again on the folder XBox 360 setup files
driver win7 and now you have to right click on the file setup information and click on install scary
message saying it can't verify even though this is a Microsoft software and a driver but it doesn't
trust its own driver well just click on install this driver software anywhere after some time you
will see the operation completed successfully click ok so you need to right click on the
start and select windows PowerShell admin and now copy and paste this command to the PowerShell
and click on enter the operation completed successfully then we can close everything

360 peripherals are activated and now you should be able to connect your XBox controller to your
XBox receiver and now just press the start button for few seconds and you can hear it is connected
