[Tech] XBox ONE Controller Won't Connect to Windows 10 Via USB
Xbox One Controller Driver Windows 7
So I'm not an Xbox gamer (anymore) but I like using controllers for my games. I had an old 360 controller that I wanted to use on my Windows 10 64 bit PC but found out that the plug-n-play's don't work.

So, yesterday I went out and bought a brand new Xbox ONE Controller and a Nyko Power Charging Kit so I could connect my Xbox ONE Controller to PC via micro-USB. Following the steps on the xbox support website I installed the Xbox Accessories app from the Windows store and started it up. I logged into one of my old Xbox accounts via the app and it turned to a black screen with the words 'Connect a Controller to get started' (or something along those lines, I'm away from the house at the moment). I then connected my Xbox ONE Controller via the micro-USB from Nyko (straight from the box) on the top USB port (not the one for the battery pack, just to clarify) and the controller rumbled briefly and the 'X' light lit up.
After this, I barely managed to notice a download finishing in the background, but it finished before I could see what it was and didn't give me any popups telling me what it was for. The Xbox Accessories screen didn't change either, and there are no buttons for me to click on in the app. Pressing every button on the controller did nothing as well.
Troubleshooting Thus Far
I unplugged and re-plugged the USB (from both ends) multiple times, with each time resulting in a rumble but now the 'X' light remained off. I also used a different USB (my girlfriend's old cellphone charger micro-USB, as I've read in many places that any micro-USB should be compatible) and that yielded the same results.

I cannot find the device drivers in my Device Manager at all. As far as I can tell, my computer doesn't even recognize that I have a USB plugged in. I have also checked my updates for Windows 10 and am completely up to date (as Microsoft lists the drivers as coming automatically packaged with Windows 10 *and doesn't even allow manual downloads of the drivers anymore).
I've read on a forum that to use an Xbox ONE Controller with Windows 10 you need to have the .NET Framework 4.5, however not only am I uncertain that this is a credible claim, but I read in the same thread that people who installed the framework experienced crashing to the point they needed to do a fresh re-installation of Windows 10. If anybody can vouch for the credibility of this, that would be great.
The only thing I can think of that might fix my problem is going to Gamestop and having them update the controller's drivers through an Xbox ONE console (as I don't own one myself) which I will be doing Monday if I'm not too busy; and even then that may not make the controller compatible with my PC.

I would really appreciate it if someone has had, or knows how to deal with, these issues and can help me troubleshoot them over this weekend! I've been waiting a literal year-and-a-half just to have the extra cash to afford a working controller and am really disheartened that all the waiting seems to have been for absolutely nothing.

So apparently brand new Xbox ONE controllers have to have up-to-date firmware before they're compatible with the current version of Windows 10. Since the Xbox Accessories app is apparently broken, the solution to this problem was to plug the controller into an Xbox ONE and update the firmware from there. Plugging the controller into your PC afterwards should automatically make the controller usable, without even the need to install the device.
