Now if you go back to Device Manager, you will note that your Afterglow device is now under the 'Common Controller for Windows' heading instead of the 'Other devices' heading.
#Update afterglow controller drivers drivers#
Not a big problem, since Microsoft usually has all of their drivers up to download for free, but it seems. I recently formatted my hard drive and re-installed Windows 7 64 bit, and the drivers didn't automatically update for my controller. Select 'Let me pick from a list of drivers on this computer' AFTERGLOW AG 9 Premium Wireless Headset for PS4 & Xbox One. When you plug in the Microsoft Xbox 360 Afterglow controller, it used to update the drivers automatically.In the Window that appears, click 'Browse my computer for driver software'.Right-Click it and select 'Update Driver Software.'.Expand the 'Other Devices' dropdown and find your Afterglow controller.Hit 'Start', type 'Device Manager' and Enter.The problem is that the device is reporting itself as an ' Afterglow Gamepad for Xbox 360', instead of a regular 'Xbox 360 Controller', meaning that Windows isn't automatically picking up the correct driver. According to a few reports this has solved a few people's issues, however, this was not the case for me.
#Update afterglow controller drivers install#
Firstly, you might need to install the Xbox 360 Controller software for Windows first.
