Hi,
Let's see where to begin with...
Recently, Microsoft released a wireless adapter for PC, that allows usage of the Xbox One Controller wirelessly on the PC. Just like it happened to Xbox360. I already had a Xbox360 controller with the wireless adapter, and it works flawlessly on my Windows 7 and on my Windows 8.1 PC's. I wanted to upgrade to the new Xbox One Controller with the wireless adapter. That is where my problems began...

I went to a Microsoft Store and bought a Xbox One controller with a wireless adapter. And, the box had no drivers on it. Reading the manual and the following page:
http://support.xbox.com/pt-BR/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc
I learn that the adapter and the controller just need to be plugged in and the driver should be downloaded from windows update. However, it did not happen, and it is only show as 'another device -> controller' and 'another device -> xbox acc'. I tried to force update, it did not work, I tried to remove and reinstall, it did not work. It seems almost like there are no drivers for it, neither for Windows 7, nor for Windows 8.1.
All I wanted to know is if there really are drivers for it, and why is it not being able to download automatically. Is there any way to download it manually? Is there a problem with my windows versions? Is it incompatible with 7 or 8.1? Could this be a problem with my windows language (PT-br instead of EN-us)? All I wanted to do was play my games with the xbox one controller! Am I asking too much?
I had for contacts with microsoft support, and it happened as follow:
- I tried contacting xbox one support, they sent me to windows support.
- I tried contacting windows support, they sent me to xbox support.
- I tried contacting xbox support, they sent me to windows support.
- I tried contacting windows support, it felt like the support could not understand my problem.
Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver
Now I am posting in the community forums for some help.

I just got a XBox One controller and Windows didn't detect it when I plugged it in. This issue is present regardless of the controller (my brother got another one) and is only happening on my computer (my brother is doing fine). I'm connecting it via a Micro USB cable (the cable works fine with other devices or connecting the controller to my brother's PC).
The controller vibrates, and the light flashes a few times before shutting down. Device Manager states a 'driver problem' and updating drivers doesn't work.

I read a thread with a similar issue, and it was solved by manually updating drivers, selecting 'Microsoft Xbox One Controller'. That option does not appear on my list (similar options, like 'XBox One Controller' do appear, but don't work; the point is to choose 'Microsoft Xbox One Controller' specifically).
Of course, Windows support was no use at all, suggesting I used the XBox Accessories application, which I did. The app just launches and tells me to 'Connect an Xbox One controller to start'.
I finally succeeded by downloading the Windows 7/8 drivers. Games and system seem to recognize the controller now. Still, the XBox Accesories application doesn't, displaying the same text. I thought 'ok, let's update drivers now' and -boom- blue screen.
I had to uninstall and reinstall drivers to get it working again.
Though games do recognize the controller, I want to have access to all features of a One controller, namely the XBox Accesories app (which I understand will let me remap the controller) and updated and functioning drivers, since it is what I paid for.
Thanks in advance.
