Thanks for the reply! It's alright, other than this controller issue, Windows 10 works flawlessly for me.
As far as your suggestions here, I did method 1 first off. It said one thing was fixed, which was 'Hardware changes might not have been detected.' However, the problem still persists.
As far as method 2, I have tried all USB ports and different Micro USB cables as well. I meet the requirements as well. However, I couldn't do the part where it says 'You can use the Devices and Printers item to troubleshoot the controller.' The reason being is that the controller does not show up on the computer at all. I also reinstalled the drivers from Windows 7/8.1 with no luck. I uninstalled the driver that comes with Windows 10, however, it doesn't want to seem to come back. It did not work with that driver either, however.
Thanks for the reply again, hopefully we can figure this out.
Note The USB ports on the front of your computer may not be powered USB 2.0 ports. Try using one of the ports on the back of your computer.
