Xbox One Controller Driver Error Code 48
Original title: Xbox One Controller on PC. I bought Xbox One Controller special for PC, installed drivers, but it's written 'The software for this device has been blocked from starting. (Code 48)' in device manager and I can't use it. What should I do? Use these methods to fix Xbox One controller not working or not connecting issue. Apply to Windows 10, 7, 8, 8.1. Simple fixes. Xbox One Controller Not Working on PC [Solved] Your Xbox Controller Not Working on your PC? Use methods here to fix it. Update the Xbox One Controller Driver. Mar 17, 2017 When an Xbox one controller is connected to a pc with a USB 3.0 port it will not work, you need to use a USB 2.0. GUIDE: Whoever has issues getting the driver for new Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows 10 This guide is for people that can't get Win10 to automatically find the correct driver for their Wireless Adapter.
I would have preferred if we could have avoided this issue until September when the controller actually released, and people actually could work on supporting it. But I guess you got first dibs, so this is the issue. In the meantime, I'll be looking into ways to sniff Bluetooth packets, but knowing Microsoft, the protocol is going to be as archaic and obtuse as possible, just like with the wireless dongle.
For the internal purposes of this driver, this controller will now be referred to as the '2016 Xbox One Controller.' As for distinguishing features, we will have to now adjust how we ask about controllers.
2013: Devoid of a 3.5mm jack.
2015: Has 3.5mm jack, Xbox button surrounded by glossy plastic (glossy plastic is separate piece)
2016: Has 3.5mm jack, Xbox button surrounded by matte plastic (body is a single piece)
There are no other obvious physical differences between the 2015 and 2016 controllers. Hopefully this won't prove to be too much of a hassle.
Xbox One Wired Controller Driver
First and foremost with this new controller we will need a VID and PID. Hopefully Microsoft doesn't change the wired packet again with this release, but wired support should be trivial given how many times I've had to do this already.
Bluetooth is completely outside of the spectrum of this driver. Its been a USB driver for its entire existence. I'll see what I can come up with by designing a portion of the driver to connect to a Bluetooth Low Energy compatible Arduino device to save time before the controller launch. I'd definitely like to know for certain what protocol this controller ends up using, whether it is Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Classic. Maybe its even leveraging Bluetooth 5.0? That'd certainly be something. But given the fact that these controller will have to work with Scorpio, pushing 5.0 with the S might be a smart call. It'd be nice if anyone seeing this that has connections at E3 could ask some Microsoft representatives what protocol it is using, but I'm not sure they'd want to tell you even if they knew.
NOTE: I was assuming the controllers would connect to the GCController framework. Microsoft could specifically make the controller work from within their own app without a problem, as long as the controller is BLE. I have concerns about a BLE controller though, see below
Something I've been seeing a lot of lately is that Bluetooth on Xbox One controllers would mean being able to connect your iOS device to a controller. Let me just say with the utmost certainty: You people have no idea what you are talking about. iOS only works with MFi certified controllers. Microsoft will not MFi certify their controllers. Because in order to be MFi certified, the controllers would have to follow a standardized HID protocol. If they did this, they would lose Windows 10 hooks. Although, Windows didn't support Bluetooth Low Energy until Windows 8, so the controllers can pretty much only work on 10 for actual technical reasons, not an arbitrary limitation. If Microsoft did actually standardize their protocol, that would be awesome. It would mean that this driver would no longer be needed, and everything would be beautiful and happy. Of course, if you jailbreak your device, you can use non-MFi certified devices like the DS4. I don't know much about jailbreaking and whether or not it will let you load kexts or not, but either way I have absolutely 0 interest in working on that.
As for Android, it sure doesn't seem like it will work on stock either. The controller would have to follow one of the protocols that Android supports, which of course is super duper unlikely. So there are the technical reasons why that pipe dream probably isn't going to happen. (It turns out that support for the Xbox 360 controller is built into Android, possibly based on the linux kernel is it using? Its not inconceivable in the future, but that would be an update to core android, and not a redistributable driver.) Please note that I know very little about the technical backends of iOS and Android, so I could be wrong, but on the surface level, this all looks improbable.
Once again, its highly likely that the Bluetooth wireless protocol packets will be identical to that of the wireless dongle. We still haven't cracked that nightmare of packets yet, so please temper your expectations. Don't think that because you hear 'Bluetooth' and your computer has a Bluetooth radio in it that it will 'just work.' Your controller doesn't 'just work' when you plug it in via USB, so it won't do that here. Please always have patience with us because this stuff isn't easy, we don't get paid to do it, and its honestly boring work, at least for the wireless protocol. Wired is way more fun.
If anyone has any additional concerns or questions, I'd love to hear them and I'll do my best to respond.
