Introdução
If you purchased an original Xbox Wireless Receiver for Windows and are having issues using it in Win10, this guide will show you how to install the driver manually if it is not automatically picked up.
While the need for this method is less frequent in Win10, it still happens from time to time.
Guide notes
- In most cases, Windows 10 will “just work". If it does not automatically pick up and install the driver, manual intervention is required. This improved support comes from native Xbox accessory compatibility in Windows 10 as a feature.
- Windows 8.x users: Refer to the Windows 7/8.x guide. These steps are for Windows 10.
- I do not know how to trigger the initial installation window manually. This is not shown since this laptop was used for testing after uninstalling the driver.
-
-
Plug your Xbox Wireless Receiver into your PC. If the installation works, no work is needed. Proceed to Step 2 if installation fails.
-
-
-
Open Device Manager. Right click the Start Menu and select Device Manager.
-
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.
-
-
-
-
Note: Search Xbox Wireless if the link does not work. Download the driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Select the following driver: Microsoft driver update for Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (18.31.1.34). 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.

Hi Nick,
This is a great guide. It seems to be a common issue and many people have offered similar solutions, but this one is the clearest and most well-explained.
However, it didn’t work for me - and from comments I’ve seen around, I know I’m not the only one. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this?
At the end of Step 3 (“Click Next and install the driver”), the window flashes to something like “Searching location…” for less than a second and then I get:
Windows was unable to install your XBOX ACC
Windows could not find drivers for your device.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for downloadable drivers.
I’m using Win 10 64-bit, fully updated.
I’ve tried the other drivers on the Update Catalog with the same result.
Is it possible to manually force the drivers to be installed?
Thanks,
Eryn
You can actually download the driver manually to force the installation. To force the installation, you will need this driver for Win10: Microsoft driver update for Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (18.31.1.43)
If the issue is installation, you need to unzip the folder and put the files in a normal folder. The .cab folder from the download site doesn’t work as-is. I should have clarified this, but it’s corrected.

Thanks, but that wasn’t my issue.
I figured out that you can use the “Have disk…” option in the driver update dialog to force the install, but that still didn’t fix it - Device Manager correctly identified the device as “Xbox Wireless Adapter”, but it showed error code 10 and still failed to work.

What actually fixed it was a NEWER, entirely different (and deceptively named) driver in the Update Catalog.

I really hope this helps anyone else out there with the same issues as me.

I did it on a W10 Build 1708 system with deferred updates and the throttled internet connection option enabled. I think 1708 is the Anniversary update, so there’s a chance that system had an older build at the time.
Nick -
Yeah, that makes sense.
I also just realised that your guide is for the original Wireless Adapter - whereas I’ve got the new (smaller) one. Maybe add a note that owners of the newer adapter will also need the newer driver?
None of the other guides I’ve seen out there include this info either, and yours is still the easiest to follow… so you’re still winning :)
