Xbox 360 Wireless Controller not connecting to Wireless Adapter

[Nikola1123]

I have followed the guides on setting it up like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WymmHmYatek but when I press the button on the controller to connect it,it just keeps flashing without actually connecting.

I am on Windows 10 if that makes a difference

Make sure to do this:

1. Make sure your Wireless Adapter is plugged in with the green light showing it's connected
2. Turn on your Wireless Controller.
3. Hold the button on your Wireless Adapter until it starts flashing.
4. Then, hold the sync button on your 360 controller located HERE until it starts flashing also.

The XBOX 360 Controller should now be synced to your Adapter

The adapter does not begin to flash no matter how long I hold it.
What do you think is at fault here?

I was mistaken, apparently you just press it. Does the green light on the wireless adapter begin flashing if you press the big button on it once? Or is there even a green light on it at all?

There is a green light on it when it is plugged in,however it does not begin to flash when I press it.
I did see a video where the person was using the same receiver as myself and for him it did begin to flash so I have no idea why it doesnt do it for me

Try downloading drivers from microsoft:

https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-au/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows

If you're on 64bit download the Windows 7 64bit Version, or if you're on 32bit use the other.

When I download the drivers do I need to reinstall it in a different way or is it just good to go?

Should just be an exe setup, just run it. You might need to restart your computer if it asks you to.

Still nothing sadly.

Right click my computer go and click properties then go to device manager. Is there a yellow warning symbol in that?

No,there was at the start before I updated the drivers
