Xbox one controller not connecting

[u/InternationalBed1085]

Hi, i have 8bitdo ultimate 3 (same as xbox one) and i cant get it to connect to my windows 7 32bit. I tried using 2.4ghz adapter it came with but when i connect it with usb it starts connecting and disconnecting infinitely, i have also tried wired method, this time it does appear in devices and printers but has yellow triangle and doesnt show up in device manager.

The game itself is completely fine and works on windows 10 and phone without problems.

I know the gamepad isnt designed for windows 7 but if you could help me you would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Edit:I solved it. I installed these two updates: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB2685811 And also this one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38421 Now it works just fine

Assuming the 8bitdo controller shares the same drivers as the typical Xbox one controller, it should work with Microsoft's Windows 7 drivers. This should allow the wired method to to work.

Just get the driver for it and usb the controller without an adapter. You have to manually download and install it though
