Launch the game. So long as your controller is plugged in, it should work.

How do I stop a game?

In Windows, press both Alt and F4 Keys to force quit any application. If this does not work, turn off your computer manually.

Question

How do I use a wireless controller?

Community Answer

To use a wireless controller, start by purchasing a controller that is compatible with the Xbox 360. Once you've done that, you'll be able to set it up with your Xbox using the instructions that come with the remote. You'll also need a receiver; pressing a certain button on both the controller and the receiver will connect them.

Question

Would the charge cord for a controller work for a wired connection? The cord is removable from both the controller and XBox.

Community Answer

No. The charger cord is purely for charging. This does, however, work on Xbox One controllers.

Question

How do I connect and use an Xbox 360 controller on my Windows 10 device?

Community Answer

This depends on whether it is a wired or wireless controller. If it is wired, you can just plug it in and it should work. If it is wireless, you need to buy a wireless receiver made by Microsoft and sync your controller.
