Current attempt to getting Xbox One Wireless Adapter working on Windows 7.
December 10th 2015: Major update, Microsoft has now released drivers for Windows 7 & 8, check Windows Update. Everything appears to be working so far, including vibration!
Everything below this is just for record and is no longer valid.
I'm currently trying to figure out if it is possible to get the Windows 10 driver to work on Windows 7, here is where I am right now.
Not successful yet and only try this if you want help get it working.
First to get the Windows 10 driver for the Xbox One Wireless Adapter I went to http://catalog.update.microsoft.com using Internet Explorer (as this is the only browser supported for catalog).
There are currently 4 drivers listed for the adapter: http://i.imgur.com/Kaxsfmn.png
If you download them all you'll get:
- AMD64-all-20794329_7c5e465b064827612d9289d3c9a26d818f2bcfdc.cab (DriverVer=10/17/2015,20.24.34.491)
- AMD64-en-20770008_a4e687fb93fcb19c1bc067d8a51f1c1c32d2c574.cab (DriverVer=08/26/2015,19.29.20.953)
- X86-all-20794332_ff018bd1c603d942fb276b19d821b91d2cf9f5fa.cab (DriverVer=10/20/2015,19.53.40.791)
- X86-en-20770009_49cb8693fbfbabcf9d62691c771f3661c6caa6f5.cab (DriverVer=08/26/2015,19.16.17.976)
You can actually install the driver if you extract the contents and modify the mt7612us.inf file.
So for example using AMD64-all-20794329_7c5e465b064827612d9289d3c9a26d818f2bcfdc.cab, extracted you will find the following files:
- FW_ACC_00U.bin
- mt7612us.cat
- mt7612us.inf
- mt7612us.sys
Edit mt7612us.inf, and modify

If you plugin your adapter into a Windows 7 system it will be detected as XBOX ACC in the Device Manager: http://i.imgur.com/IqPQ264.png
Right click and update driver, finding the mt7612us.inf file you modified, you'll get a security warning, install anyway. You'll need to restart after.
Once restarted you'll find the driver installed and the adapter listed under Network adapter > Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows: http://i.imgur.com/5N6QzUD.png (Ignore #8 part, I've tried this a ton of times already).
If you check properties it will list:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
My guess is that it's related to the xboxgip upper filter mentioned in the mt7612us.inf file
; This installation script supports Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. ; It also adds the xboxgip service as an upper filter for the board.
In particular:
[PnPFilterRegistration] HKR,,'UpperFilters',0x00010000,'xboxgip'
Next step I have tried is to remove xboxgip as an upper filter. You can find this blogpost explaining lower/upper filters: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog/archive/2013/12/10/help-after-installing-windows-8-1-my-device-fails-with-error-code-19.aspx
I started up regedit and searched for xboxgip
You'll find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSBVID_045E&PID_02E6355542 (also in ControlSet001 & ControlSet002 but these are reflected from CurrentControlSet): http://i.imgur.com/H7SjooA.png
If you change the ownership of 355542 you can set Full Control to everyone and delete xboxgip UpperFilter. You'll need to restart again for this to take effect.
Unfortunately you'll see the error now changes to this (inside Device Manager):
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Anyways this is as far as I got, it maybe that xboxgip is a requirement, which is a protocol driver in Windows 10: http://batcmd.com/windows/10/services/xboxgip/
It exists in %WinDir%System32drivers as xboxgip.sys, simply moving a copy of it from Windows 10 to Windows 7 doesn't appear to have any affect.
mt7612us.inf also references xboxgip.inf
I'm not sure if it's possible to some how install xboxgip.sys on Windows 7 or Windows 8 and see if it might work, if anyone has found xboxgip.inf please let me know.
I found a link to xboxgip.sys from: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=183267908 Here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=183263051&postcount=293
The following errors are displayed in Windows Logs under System:
I've located xboxgip.inf
Will setup a Win7 virtual machine and try to install it.
Well I tried to install xboxgip.sys via .inf file, modified .inf to NTamd64 & NTx86, [Install] to [DefaultInstall] & Characteristics = 0x20, and while it copies xboxgip.sys to /System32/Drivers/ I don't see any evidence of it actually installing as a service or creating keys in ControlSet. Might be unsigned driver protection, not exactly sure.
Messed around some more on Nov 1st.
I tried installing the driver with 'bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON' which disables driver signing, but still getting (Code 39). It seems like mt7612us.sys doesn't want to start, it's possible that it may not be possible to make this work at all. But I'm not exactly sure.
I also tried messing with xboxgip.sys via registry, I exported the exact registry settings it uses in Windows 10.
Having xboxgip.sys configured exactly like on Windows 10 doesn't seem to have much effect at all, my guess at this point is that mt7612us.sys driver is simply failing to run for some reason.
I tested the November 2015 drivers and neither are working, I'm having the same issues as described above.

These days, you can use just about any gaming controller on your computer. Even older controllers (like the one that came with your Xbox 360 and is now gathering dust) are compatible, so long as you’ve got the proper hardware and a few minutes to spare. Learning how to connect an Xbox 360 controller to a PC might sound intimidating, but the process is pretty simple. Whether you have a wireless or wired controller, functionality is identical. Although many players insist that a wired controller is a must since there’s nearly no input lag. Either way, we’ve got you covered below.

Plug in your wireless receiver
This section only applies to those with wireless controllers. If you’ve got a wired Xbox 360 controller, skip straight to Install software.
For those of you that own wireless Xbox 360 controllers, connecting to a PC isn’t as straightforward as simply plugging the device in. First off, you’ll need to purchase a capable receiver, then run the proper setup wizard.
If you don’t already have a receiver, they typically cost between $10 and $20. The official Microsoft version will cost a bit more than that, but there are many third-party versions available that work perfectly well.
After purchasing the wireless receiver, connect it to a compatible USB port on your computer (see Figure A below). Once plugged in, a green light will appear on the receiver indicating the device is working properly.
Install software
For the wireless gaming receiver and the wireless Xbox 360 controller to properly sync with one another, users must download the necessary software via Microsoft’s website, or the bundled installation disc packaged with their receiver.
If you have the aforementioned installation CD (probably not, but it’s possible), insert it into your PC’s main optical drive and follow the on-screen wizard. You may need to restart your computer. If not, you can download from theXbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows link; if wired, select Xbox 360 Controller for Windows instead. Choose which version of Microsoft Windows you’re using — the Windows 7 drivers will work for Windows 8 and Windows 10 — select the operating system language, and click Download.
Once the download screen pops up, hitRun and allow the Xbox 360 Accessories Setup program to install the required files. Again, you may be required to restart your computer upon completion of the install.
Syncing the controller
If you’re using a wired controller, just plug it in. You’re good to go. Scroll down to Testing the Controller to make sure everything is working correctly.
If not, you’ll need to connect the wireless Xbox 360 controller with the receiver plugged into your computer. To do so, first turn on the controller by holding down the Xbox Guide button in the center of the controller, and wait for the green backlight to turn on. Afterward, press the connect button on top of the wireless receiver (figureB) until it begins to flash green, then press the corresponding button on your controller (figureC).
The pairing process should only take a few seconds, after which the light on the receiver will return to solid green and one of the four corners around the controller’s Guide button will light up (figure D). If you’re still having issues, check Microsoft’s support page for more help.
Testing the controller
Once the necessary software is installed and the controller plugged in or synced, it’s time to test the connection. Open the Start menu on your PC, click the search menu, and look for “game controllers.” You should see an option that reads: Set up USB game controllers.
Now, press the controller’s buttons, pull the triggers and move the joysticks to ensure the controller is functioning properly. If it is, you’ll see the correlating action highlighted in the application. Don’t worry about which area is lighting up — as long as the system recognizes each button, you’re good. If the application does not recognize the controller, you can troubleshoot via Xbox’s support website.

That’s all you have to do. The Xbox 360 controller is the typical default configuration for modern PC games, so you shouldn’t have to do any special key bindings or settings tweaks in the vast majority of titles. Just make sure the controller is connected when you load the game, and it should be detected. In fact, some games can switch to the 360 controller automatically, even in the middle of gameplay.
