If your controller is something other than an Xbox One/Xbox 360 controller, you'll need some software on the client computer to convert the inputs to x-input. See our article here about the PS4 controller. REBOOT YOUR HOST. ViGEm is a driver, more often than not, drivers require a reboot in Windows.

I updated to the new 1.7 update, then my controller wouldn't work. I tried to reinstall and it didn't work, I uninstalled the DS3 driver (as it was the one from the new updated, hoping it would use the older driver), didn't work, I tried to install an older version and it didn't work, I then saw that the driver for the virtual controller was updated too, I uninstalled that driver, reinstalled the older version yet again and then the controller was detected yet again.
The new virtual xbox 360 controller does appear, but it's not in the list of game controllers and does not receive/send any input.

Have you noticed that a clean wipe is needed?

commented Apr 10, 2016

I did, and I performed it... The clean wipe does not seem to remove the older drivers once they're installed in the system, not that the older drivers seemed to have any effect, like I said, the new drivers for the virtual controller are the ones that appear not to work properly.

Try to remove any Xbox 360 virtual controllers, PS3 controllers and the Virtual Bus from the Devices Manager and the Driver Store. Then retry installation of the drivers

commented Apr 10, 2016

I've done that, uninstalling the driver was the only way to fix it. I've reinstalled the driver a bunch of times already and that did not help, the issue remains the same, the controller appears as a detected device in the devices manager, it recognizes it as an xbox 360 controller, but it won't work in games, won't send or receive any input, checking the 'Game Controllers' setting doesn't show the controller there, while the older drivers do.

Same problem here. Controller is connecting and got this error:

I see the connected controller in the scp monitor, but it doesn't working. I tried clean wipe and reinstall drivers but I got same result all the time.

Xbox 360 Controller Driver Not Showing Up

That's because I'm an idiot >_< I somehow overlooked that the wrong hardware ID is in the Ds3Controller.inf file. If you have a look in your device manager you should see something like this:

For a manual fix, try replacing the assigned drivers manually:

Thx. But when I installed the driver manually I got blue screen with 'DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION (ScpVBus.sys)' message. I got this messege in 1.6 version of ScpToolkit before. Thats why I wan't to install 1.7

I used the Driver Verifier Manager, deleted existing settings and now I have not DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION error and the controller works fine.

commented Apr 24, 2016

I ran the latest ScpVBus.sys with the verifier enabled and didn't get an DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION error any more. Can you try again but first check which version of the bus driver you are running?

Xbox 360 Controller Driver Not Showing Up Windows 7


I am using Windows 10 and I have been using my Xbox 360 Wired controller for some time now. I've been playing a game called Rocket League and in the middle of the match my controller stopped working. I plugged it back in to see if it would fix it, but it keeps telling me the controller is malfunctioning. I got a new controller and tried to use it, but it still tells me that the controller is malfunctioning and that it does not recognize. I even tied plugging it into my xbox360 to see if it would work and it did. Somethings not right.
I've also noticed that the Microsoft Edge internet browser has been going very slow too.
Can someone help me please?
