Xbox 360 Controller With Windows 10
Hey guys! So I recently installed the Windows 10 technical preview on my SP3 (build 10041) and am loving it. One thing I'm not so hot on though is that my wireless Xbox 360 remote no longer seems to work. I have the dongle and I did a fresh install but it never seems to find the controller. I had the same problem last time and it was fixed when I rolled back to Windows 8.1, but I'd love to get it working with this current install as I otherwise really like it.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Does anyone know a fix? Thanks a ton in advance!
