READ: I have confirmed these same steps apply to Windows 10 and Windows 11 with no process changes. However, this guide was authored in 2018 so Windows 10 was used at the time. As such multiple «end of life» dates will apply:
Windows 10:
- On-guide support ends (Windows 10): 1/1/2024
- Author support ends (Windows 10): 1/1/2025
- Microsoft EOL: 10/14/25
Windows 11: TBD, no EOL set by Microsoft at this time.
If you purchased an original Xbox Wireless Receiver for Windows and are having issues using it in Win10/Win11, this guide will show you how to install the driver manually if it is not automatically picked up. While these older adapters generally do not have issues in Windows 10 as often (it happens, but far less often), Windows 11 may require some manual assistance as I have observed a few instances where it was not as «plug and play» as the receiver is when using Windows 10.
- In most cases, Windows 10 will “just work». If it does not automatically pick up and install the driver, manual installation may be required. This improvement is the result of Microsoft considering Xbox accessory compatibility in Windows 10/11 and not retroactively adding it as was the case in 7/8.x (which was the cause of most of the older driver install problems).
- Windows 11 can sometimes struggle with the automatic installation process, needing help from Windows Update. This is likely due to time and focus on the «slim» adapter (as well as BT support in 10/11) resulting in less need to use this adapter when Bluetooth has been supported for several generations, somewhat negating the need for it. I found no other issues when testing in 11 at that time.
- If you use Windows 7/8.x, refer to the guide made for these OSes specifically (NOTE: no longer supported or updated by the guide author due to Windows 7/8.x being EOL, this guide remains available «as-is»). The process is split into two guides due to driver and process changes unique to 7/8.x systems.
- NOTE: I did not get an initial install prompt, and do not know how to re-trigger it. As I used this laptop to test my steps prior it will not be visible but may show for you. I do not know how to trigger the initial installation window manually.
-
-
If you have the Model 1790 (Slim) receiver, you must use the Xbox — Net — 10.46.1 driver.
-
Plug your Xbox Wireless Receiver into your PC. Proceed further if the automatic installation fails.
-
Locate Other Devices. Without a driver installed, the receiver will be found here.
-
Double click XBOX ACC and check for Code 28. Click Update Driver and you will see a window with two options.
-
Before manually installing the driver, select Search automatically for updated driver software. Install the driver manually if this fails.
-
-
-
Unlike Windows 7/8.x, this is usually not an issue. However, Windows 11 may need help from Windows Update if the automatic Device Manager search fails. This is not as common in Win10.
-
NOTE: «Virgin» installation messaging may be slightly different. This adapter has been used in my laptop before. Select Search automatically for drivers.
-
NOTE: THESE STEPS ARE NOT SHOWN ON MY COMPUTER AS IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED ON THE FIRST TRY IN WIN10. Click Search for updated drivers on Windows Update. Once this is done, the driver will be installed.
-
Click Check for updates to ensure the driver will download if the system is unresponsive. Once completed, the receiver should work.
-
-
-
Note: Search Xbox Wireless if the link does not work. Download the driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Select the following driver: Microsoft — Net — 8/26/2015 12:00:00 AM — 19.16.17.976 or Microsoft — Other hardware — Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. Unzip the file with 7Zip.
-
Select Browse my computer for driver software.
-
Locate the folder where the driver is located and select Copy address as text. Paste the location into the search box. Click Next.
-
-
-
To verify the driver was installed correctly, check under Network Adapters. If the driver was installed correctly, it will show up here.

For the best chance of avoiding any errors, download the most recent version of the Xbox wireless adapter drivers. This article shares the simplest and quickest ways to do it.
Do you want to connect up to eight gamepads to your computer or do you have an older Xbox One controller that uses Bluetooth rather than a wireless connection? If the answer to this question is yes, an Xbox wireless adapter is required to complete the task. But just having an adapter is insufficient. If you do not correctly download the Xbox wireless adapter drivers to enable it to communicate with the PC, you might still experience a number of annoying problems.
Additionally, downloading the drivers is not sufficient to ensure seamless connectivity and gaming. For optimum performance, it’s equally critical to occasionally update the Xbox wireless adapter drivers. The easiest ways to download and update drivers for your Xbox wireless adapter are described in this article. Let’s first quickly review the method that is generally recommended.
Ways to Download and Update Xbox Wireless Adapter Drivers
Below, we share the easiest ways that you can adopt to download Xbox wireless adapter drivers if they are unavailable on Windows 10 and update them.
Way 1: Download Xbox Wireless Adapter Drivers via Microsoft Update Catalog
The Microsoft Update Catalog is the location that has all the needed drivers for Microsoft products. Below are the steps to download Xbox wireless adapter drivers from there.
- Visit the Microsoft Update Catalog.
- In the box where it is written: “Start your search”, input “Xbox wireless adapter”, and click on the “Search” button.
- After clicking the Search button, a list of wireless adapter drivers for Xbox appears on the screen, scroll down to find the one that is compatible with your computer’s operating system.
- Once you find the compatible driver, click on the “Download” button present next to it.
- After the driver file is downloaded, unzip it and save it on your computer.
- Use the combination of keys Windows and R to evoke the “Run box.”
- When the Run box pops up, type “devmgmt.msc” in the designated space and click on “OK.”
- Now, Device Manager will appear on your screen. Click on the “Other devices” category for expanding its content.
- Right-click on “Xbox ACC” and choose “Update driver” from the available options.
- Next, click on “Browse my computer for driver software.”
- Now, you need to mention the location containing the driver file that you downloaded earlier.
- Checkmark the “Include subfolders” box and click on the “Browse” option.
- A list of folders appears on the screen. Select the folder where you have saved the Xbox wireless receiver driver for Windows 10.
- After selecting the folder, click on the “OK” button.
- Lastly, tread on the heels of the instructions that are displayed on the screen to install the driver. When the process finishes, restart the PC.

Way 2: Let Windows Search for Required Drivers
This method to download and update Xbox wireless adapter drivers is quite simple as compared to the previous one. But, its success is not guaranteed because, when the driver updates are recently released, Windows often becomes unsuccessful in finding, downloading, and installing them. However, if you want to try your luck, then implement the steps shared below.
- Launch the “Device Manager” on your computer.
- After the Device Manager is evoked, click on the “Network adapters” to expand them.
- Right-click on your Xbox wireless controller and Choose “Update driver” from the given options.
- Now, from the two visible alternatives, select “Search automatically for updated driver software.”
- Wait for some hours till Windows finds the updated Xbox wireless controller driver for Windows 10, downloads, and installs the same.
Way 3: Download and Update Xbox Wireless Adapter Drivers Automatically
Time and energy are something that we should use judiciously. But, the above-explained manual methods to download Xbox wireless adapter drivers and update them take up a lot of time, energy, and effort. Therefore, we do not recommend them. What we promote more is an automatic way to get all the required drivers. You can download and update all the device drivers automatically with a single click using Bit Driver Updater. It is one of the best driver updaters that installs WHQL authenticated driver updates, making the PC fast and smooth. Further, it is also among the most straightforward and easy-to-use driver updaters currently available. You can download and update all the drivers, including the driver for the Xbox wireless gaming receiver for Windows 10, in a few simple steps that are shared below.
- Download Bit Driver Updater and install the same from here.
- Let the software perform an automatic computer scan. However, if you do not want to scan the computer automatically, then choose the “Scan” option to run a manual scan.
- After the scan gets completed and its results come up, click on the “Update Now” option located next to the Xbox wireless network adapter.
- If you want to play smart and get rid of all the outdated drivers in just a click, then select “Update All.” Choosing Update All also gives you a plethora of highly useful options such as driver backup and restore driver download speed acceleration, and more.
We know it is tough to believe, but an implementation of the above easy steps is all you need to download and update the Xbox wireless network adapter as well as the other drivers. Below is the link to download and install this incredible software.
