The &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; driver from the manufacturer hasn&amp;#x27;t been updated since a final revision in like Windows 7. Windows 10 offers a basic driver, but it&amp;#x27;s totally broken and the Windows driver constantly updates and overrides the old one. Anytime I want to play a game with this controller, I have to uninstall from device manager and install the old driver but ignore the restart. It works, for some reason, but as soon as the machine gets restarted, the driver is replaced and I get the yellow exclamation point in Device Manager again. Not a great workaround, but I&amp;#x27;m glad it works for most things.</text></comment>
