Since the steps are still essentially the same, I chose to keep using the existing photos. IMPORTANT: While my screenshots show Windows 7, Microsoft no longer supports it as of. This guide will show you how to manually install the driver and get it working on these older systems. Since Microsoft is aggressively pushing Windows 10 (despite most choosing to wait), problems have begun to show up with the process of pushing reluctant Windows 7 or 8.x users to upgrade. If you purchased an Xbox Wireless Receiver for Windows and are wondering how to use it on Windows 7 or 8.x, this guide will show you how to install the drivers. However, as this is a software guide in the event of multiple major failures I may be forced to pull it down at any moment for good! While this guide is no longer maintained (and unsupported), I am leaving it up indefinitely as this method still works on older systems "As-Is". AS BOTH 7 AND 8.X ARE BOTH END OF LIFE, I SIMPLY CANNOT BE SURE THESE DRIVERS WILL REMAIN UPDATED BY MICROSOFT. RATHER THAN HOPE FOR THE BEST, I DECIDED IT IS BEST TO OBSOLETE THIS GUIDE AND KEEP THE DRIVERS AVAILABLE AND ARCHIVED INDEFINITELY.

ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS COVERED ARE END-OF-LIFE AND NO LONGER UPDATED BY MICROSOFT. Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Community. 16384 (win8rtm.1) I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Details C:/Windows system32 drivers wdf010000.sys Microsoft.

IMPORTANT: AS OF, THIS GUIDE IS OBSOLETE AND WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED. Under Device Manager - Non plug and play drivers - Kernel mode driver framework has yellow exclamation mark.
