If you haven't done it yet, install DirectX, new Windows often come without older DX libraries.

If it still doesn't help, use this for games that require Xinput.

Elenarie: Any random micro-USB cable should work just fine. No need to risk with those non-official adapters.
In my controller there is no micro or normal usb plug, only a sort of proprietary plug (see image attached).
But if i use this cable i'm not sure i can use it on pc or is working only with the consolle.

Oh, I assumed you were talking about an Xbox One controller.

Elenarie: Oh, I assumed you were talking about an Xbox One controller.
It's an XBox 360.
Do you know if the cable in the image works connecting it to a pc?

cogadh: The problems I have seen with DirectInput are simply on the hardware side, not the software side.
What does that even mean? Yes if you have a broken gamepad then you have a broken gamepad, but assuming the gamepad is fine how can the problems be on the hardware side if we're on the subject of Windows 10. If the gamepad works fine in Windows 8.1 and doesn't work in 10 then that is not a hardware problem.

avatar
cogadh: If you have an old DirectInput gamepad, the OS might not even detect it properly, but if it is detected, then old DirectInput games will (usually) have no problems, but you can pretty much forget about playing anything new.
What's that got to do with Windows 10? You seem to be confusing the general lack of support for DirectInput on the part of developers with a change in Windows 10. If DirectInput supporting games still work with DirectInput controllers then I don't really see why you even brought the subject up. That's how it's always been, irrespective of Windows version.

avatar
cogadh: If you have a Xinput gamepad (which is virtually guaranteed to work on Win 10), it seems to still work fine with DirectInput games and of course all new games.
Xinput controllers nearly always 'work' with DI games, they just don't do it very well. Perhaps Microsoft have fixed the DI implementation of the 360 controller in W10, it used to map both triggers to the same axis, so if you pressed both they cancelled each other out. Kind of ridiculous when DI supports up to 8 axes.

avatar
cogadh: Basically, the only scenario where you are going to run into problems is if you are still using very old gamepad hardware that you probably should have replaced a long time ago.
Bollocks. One of my favourite gamepads is only about 4 years old and is DI only. The fact that Microsoft managed to successfully sell their Xinput snake oil to a lot of developers doesn't mean my gamepad is in need of replacement. Frankly I find your suggestion that I replace my gamepad condescending.

The USB side can go into the PC. The other big side not, but maybe that one is for the controller side?
Xbox one controller is the same than 360.. I just have wired thing and in my pc it's usb and in controller side it's micro-usb. When they sell "controller for windows" with x-bone you just got that cord with it.

Well, this is evident :) but after searching for a while on the internet i found out that this cable serves only to connect the wireless controller to the Xbox 360 and save the batteries, with the PC is not working.
The only way to connect the wireless controller to the PC is to use a usb wireless receiver, like the one in the image attached.
I will buy one and try.

Few meters long is that cord and when using that in PC it would be weird that you need cordless thing.. Anyway, what we were talking about? =P

No, the xbox 360 controller do not have a micro usb slot, but a proprietary one, at least mine.

Yes, xbox 360 doesn't have micro-usb. It just has normal usb both ways. Let me see.. *opens a cuppoard* Well it seems that you cannot take that cord away, other end is kinda stuck with the controller and other is normal usb.

Edit. in xbox one controller, it's the same as that console, you just use that cord..

Oh.. so you should basically just get that cord.. witch other end has normal usb which goes to PC and that micro-usb, which goes to controller

Edit: don't you worry I've been drinkin few beers but I have x-box controller, wired one which is totally same but it just has that cord. Perhaps it is some new stuff that accepts better without cord.. Still, I would use a corded thing. I mean why not, we have to sit pretty close anyway. Unless you are some steam machine fellow. =)
