Xbox 360 Controller not working. Code 43. Please Help.

[Theone0581]

Please Help, I have been stuck with this issue for a few days and can not figure it for the life of me...

For some reason when I plug in my Xbox360 controller into my computer, I get the
error message saying

"USB Drive not recognized"

followed by the device status

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

I have no idea how to fix this problem, and whats weird is that I have never had this issue before. Usually all I need to plug it in and it works.

So if one of you guys can help me out that would be great. Thanks.



My system

OS: Windows 7

Computer make: Toshiba Satellite A205-S5859

Welcome Theone0581.

Do you have any other usb devices plugged in?

Have you tried it in another usb port?

Have you checked usb are still enabled in the bios?

You could try removing your USB controllers, then rebooting. They will reload again after startup.

Click 'Start' > Right-click 'Computer' > Select 'Manage'
Click 'Device Manager'
On the right, expand 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'
Right-click and remove each one and reboot your computer.

After startup, your USB controllers should reload, plug in your mouse and test.

You may also want to try and removing all power(including battery) for a couple of minutes then put them back in. You will be surprised what this can do sometimes.

I tried all of the above trouble shooting options, but I was not able to get it to work. Any other suggestions?

How did you fix it?

Hi, Theone - can you share what you did that resolved the problem?

I'm in the same boat except that it has never worked for me - I have only seen this same error.

Thanks

I recently bought a xbox controller for my PC...according to the install instructions the drivers for the controller need to be installed BEFORE you actually connect the control pad to the PC.
At least thats what I did and have had no issues with it..other than the fact it sucks compared to a keyboard and mouse to use.

Hi there,

Could you specify your computer OS? Then I could try and help you with the computer-Xbox controller issue

This happens with all Xbox 360 remotes. Go into device manager then click add add legacy hardware. Search through three list it should it should be under the Microsoft sections. And click on eaither wired or wireless depending on your remote. I don't have my comp on rite now, so u can't give u all the details on the steps. Also make sure you dl the driver from the Microsoft website.

Just got my computer back because it didn't boot again after trying the steps mentioned by Vijay B ( Code 43 Windows has stopped this device because it has reported - Microsoft Community ) . sorry for the delay caused.

I have a 64bit Windows 7 Professional OEM-Version with SP 1 installed since the cracked one crashed.

Search through three list it should it should be under the Microsoft sections. And click on eaither wired or wireless depending on your remote.

I found the list you mentioned, but in there was nothing like "Gibson" or "RedOctan". I don't want to f**k up my system again so I'm just doing this if anyone knows spot of the driver.

I'm using the XBOX 365 controller dongle from Ebay. It's a fake knock off but works alright.
I was able to install the link https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows
Then download the windows 7 drivers for the xbox 365 wireless controller.

Make sure you plug the receiver into a usb 3.0 port.
It does not work on usb 2.0 ports on my computer.

Cheers.
