Guide notes

  • In most cases, Windows 10 will not have these problems. When it does, manual intervention is required. This improved support comes from native Xbox compatibility being a major feature for Windows 10.
  • Windows 7/8.x users: Refer to the Windows 7/8.x guide. These steps are intended 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 I uninstalled the driver before making the guide.

    • If you are using the Model 1790 (Slim) Xbox One wireless receiver, you must use the following driver: Xbox - Net - 7/11/2017 12:00:00 AM - 1.0.46.1.

    • Plug your Xbox Wireless Receiver into your PC. If the installation works, no work is needed. If it fails, proceed to Step 2.
