I have had my xbox 360 controller for about 6 months now and it was working perfectly until one day it just stopped working. One day I was using it to play dark souls then the next day it suddenly stopped working. It popped up ad unknown device when I plug it in to a usb 3.0 port and it says unrecognized device error code 43 when I plug it in to a usb 2.0. My mother board is an Asrock FX 970 extreme 4. I have downloaded the latest drivers and I have installed and re installed them multiple times. I checked to see if it worked on my brothers laptop and it worked perfectly. I have reset my computer. I have tried uninstalling it from the device manager, and uninstalling the microsoft accessories driver and re installing both of them. I have unplugged and uninstalled every device on my computer and re installed them also. The other devices work perfectly fine. I have tried to install it manually from the device manager>unknown device>Driver tab>Update Driver>Browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer, but when I do that the Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller driver does not show up in the list of drivers. Nothing occurred when I cut off all power to my PC for 10 minutes and turned it back on. When I go to the properties of the device it says that the device type is Universal Serial Bus controllers, and the manufacture is (Standard USB Host Controller). I have been looking for a solution for about a month and have found nothing to help 🙁 I am using Windows 7 64 Bit. I would love if someone could help me
 
You certainly don't need any third-party software to use an Xbox 360 controller on Windows. Motioninjoy is for PS3 controllers.

It sounds like your controller is broken actually. Can you find an Xbox 360 to connect your controller to in order to test whether its the PC's issue or the controller's?
 


I just tested both of my controllers out on the Xbox 360 and on my brothers laptop. My white controller when I connect it to my Xbox 360 all 4 of the LED's light up and that's it, same with my black controller. When I connect my white controller to the laptop it just says that it is unrecognized but when I connect my newer black controller to the laptop it works perfectly fine.
 


I don't think that the White one is broken, because it stopped working the exact same time the black on stopped. Which was after waking my computer up from sleeping when both of my controllers were still connected.
 


I have tried everything on here and still nothing 🙁
 


Yeah they are. I guess i'll just call someone to come to my house and try to fix it.
