I can no longer use the mic that came with my Xbox 360 wired controller on my Windows 10 PC after I upgraded to the Creators Update a few days ago. In the Device Manager it is listed as ‘Unknown device’ and if I try to ‘Upgrade Drivers’ then I get this
error message: «XBOX 360 Headset Device. An error occurred during the installation of the device. The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry. Contact your hardware vendor».Could someone at Microsoft please send me the correct driver to get the XBOX 360 Wired Controller Microphone working again? I used it for Cortana searches as well as communication in Overwatch.

Ok I found a solution, install the receiver in device manager using the browse my computer for driver software—>then click let me pick from the a list of available drivers—>then scroll down the list at the bottom to Xbox 360 receiver, install
that and then turn on the headset—>from there the headset driver will error out, open it up in device manager and do the same for it and choose to browse computer etc but this time choose the generic audio driver for the headset. Viola! Hope
this helps.-

Hi All
I’ve started PSP 7.80A deployment in my environment after extensive testing during which I did not experience any issues what so ever. I’ve also deployed to majority of production servers and again no problems except on one of them.
On this particular server PSP 7.80A was deployed by executing setup.exe file and not via HP SIM since the server I’m having problems with now is the HP SIM Server. Initiall deployment failed on following hardware driver and/or application upgrades:
— HP ProLiant Smart Array 5x and 6x Controller Driver for Windows Server 2003
— HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel Adapter Kit for the x86 QLogic Storeport Driver
— HP ProLiant Integrated Lights-Out Management Interface Driver for Windows
— HP NC-Series Broadcom Driver for Windows Server 2003
— HP Lights-Out OnLine configuration Utility for Windows Server 2003
After failed deployment the above hardware did not have required drivers installed or was disabled all together. Attempted to reapply PSP 7.80A with «Allow components to overwrite newer or up-to-date versions» option enabled however failed again with exactly the same error message.
Manually removed all components of PSP 7.80A from the system and rolled back to previous version of driver on all devices that failed to upgrade and attempted to upgrade driver(s) manually by executing only cpxxxxxx.exe file containing driver for each device, but again no luck. Installation would fail with following error message:
«Additional information:
Installation failed on at least one device. One of the devices may have been deleted through Device Manager and a reboot may be necessary to complete the driver installation for this device
Press the ‘Close’ button to exit Setup.»
Simultaniously with the error message «Found New Hardware Wizard» window will appear with following error message:
«Cannot Install this Hardware
There was a problem installing this hardware:
«DEVICE NAME»
An error occurred during the installation of the device.
The system cannot find the file specified.»
Server in question is ProLiant DL380 G4. Any help would be much appreciated as I need to get this resolved urgently since this is our amongst other things EVA management server as well.
Cheers
