- Does the controller show in Device Manager ?

Windows has XBOX drivers ( Xinput.dll ) and some generic ( Dinput.dll ) keyboard/mouse/controller drivers

which preceded the Xinput drivers.

However, Dinput only, and controllers with both Dinput and Xinput need the profiling software from the mfg

of the device to get full functionality.

If your controller has a switch for Dinput and Xinput you may still need to install the

XBOX 360 Accessories v1.2 software (The Win7 software works on Win10).

[EDIT: ( 7/'17) Just to clarify... Win10 should automatically detect XInput peripherals, but in the event of a

peripheral not being detected, the Accessories Software 1.2 above should be installed.

Peripherals which are limited to, or have a Dinput option in addition to Xinput, do require a software to get the

custom button profiling options while using Dinput.

XBOX controllers do not have an option to customise button presses outside the options made available in

a games setup as do Dinput peripherals. ]

(My Logitech G27 wheel (uses Dinput ) was released in '09 and while the LGS 510 software/drivers for their controllers/wheels has not been updated since around 2010 they still work on Win10 ) .

If this 3GCDriver does not include a profiling software it may be worth trying the Engine 3 software as well ?

- I also have a the Logitech F310, which also uses the LGS 510 software. This controller has a switch for both

Xinput and Dinput, which makes the controller more flexible than an Xinput only controller as you

can create profiles to make it work with older games that don't have a default XBOX setup.
