As of Windows 7, using an Xbox controller on a PC is a built-in functionality of the operating system. However, there are a few situations that may cause users to have problems with an Xbox controller on their PC.

If your computer has the Bluetooth feature, you can pair your controller with your computer directly. But if not, you will need an external Bluetooth adapter to enable your computer to communicate with your controller.
2) Pair your PS4 controller with your computer. Note that the steps to do this on Windows 10 is different from Windows 7. The following will show you how to pair your controller on these different systems.
You are not able to use your PS4 controller on PC if you just physically connect it to your computer. Games on Windows cannot recognize your PS4 controller directly. You need a third-party application to emulate an Xbox 360 controller (which is fully supported by Windows) with your PS4 controller. In order for these applications to work fine, you should install an Xbox 360 controller software on your computer.
If you have used an Xbox 360 controller or installed its driver on your computer previously, you may still need to update the driver as it may be out of date. You can still do this automatically with Driver Easy:
1) Disconnect your PS4 controller. (For wired controller, unplug the micro-USB cable from your computer. For wireless one, go to Bluetooth settings and unpair your controller)
8) Launch a game that supports game controller in your game library. Then press the PS button on your PS4 controller. After that, select Controller Configuration.
Xbox Game Bar is built into Windows 11 so you can capture videos and screenshots while playing PC games. While you're playing a game, press the Windows logo key + G on your keyboard to open Xbox Game Bar. If you have an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller plugged in to your PC, press the Xbox button.

Well, there are a couple ways to hook up the Xbox One controller wirelessly, and a few things you should know about the different iterations of the controller and what how exactly they'll work with your PC.
Using a wired Xbox One controller on PC is as simple as it gets, if you don't mind a tether. Plug your micro-USB cable into the controller and into a USB port on your PC. Windows should install the necessary driver, the Xbox Guide button in the center will light up, and you're in business!
Windows version note: On Windows 10, you can connect up to eight Xbox One controllers, while on Windows 7 and Windows 8, you can connect up to four. On Windows 10, you can only have four controllers connected if you also connect an Xbox chat headset to the controller or two with the stereo headset. Audio throughput isn't supported on Windows 7 and 8.
Here's where things get a little complicated. Certain models of the Xbox One controller can connect to any old PC Bluetooth adapter. Others can't. Here's how to tell if your Xbox One controller has built-in Bluetooth:
The shape of the plastic molding at the top of the controller is your clue. The first iteration of the Xbox One controller does not support Bluetooth and has a few other annoyances. Its bumpers have a narrower click range, making them less comfortable depending on where you position your fingers.
The redesigned controller launched with the Xbox One S console has a smaller plastic molding along the top. It also adds a 3.5mm headphone jack to the bottom of the controller, another easy giveaway. On top of that headphone jack, it also has built-in Bluetooth!
3. In the Bluetooth settings menu, click "Add Bluetooth or other device" and then select Bluetooth from the menu options. After a few seconds of searching, your Xbox controller should show up. Click it to pair. And you're wirelessly connected!

If you have an Xbox One Elite controller, you can also use the Accessories app to configure options like trigger and analog stick sensitivity. You can save different configurations to the two profiles the controller supports.
I guess I should also post that you need to download driver.Install Uninstall your old driver if you go to device management then manually serach for new driver and in stall the new xbox driver, they will be labled different.
I think I have found a solution. As mentioned before wireless controller will not work with windows 7 when connected via play and charge. Windows will recognise it but you will not be able to use it in games. U need to by either Xbox wireless controller for windows or if you allready have one for your Xbox you will need a XBOX 360 Wireless USB Games Receiver 4 PC controller
7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager. You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
Thank you, thank, you, thank you, thank you! This same process worked for the wired controller I have that wasn't working; just picked the driver for the wired controller instead of for the receiver. Can't say how glad I am to have found this. Just wish I'd stumbled across your post three hours ago.
Thank you! I have yet to try it in-game. I wonder if this older model 360 controller is the problem as it was probably purchased back in 2005 shortly after the Xbox360 launched and I needed a second controller.
Now that I see that, I thought it'd be fixed... but no! If I run joy.cpl (the Game Controllers window) it still doesn't see my Xbox controller. It still isn't recognized by the actual 360 controller software for my PC.
Purpose of HIDGuardian is to hide original controllers from games, so that only virtual controllers are visible. Install HIDGuardian only if original controller prevents virtual controller functioning properly in the game.
The x360ce.exe application version 3.x is just a GUI for editing x360ce.ini and testing your controller. The x360ce.exe (3.x) application can be closed before launching the game. The game doesn't need it and it uses your computer's resources.
