I can't install proper drivers for an Xbox One Wireless controller on Windows Server 2022

[Guest /u/Tacumoto]

I know this is not an use case for a windows server, I know It's not meant to be used for gaming, but It would be really convinient if it worked, so please try and help me out.

 

So we have PC that we designated as a server PC and installed Windows Server 2022 on it so we can use it for mass storage and some media servers, game servers and that sort of thing. We had the idea to move it to the living room and run some games on it, and we managed to set everything up, games are running fine on it, but our Wireless Xbox One controller isn't recognized properly. It's recognized as a "6axis 16 button gamepad with hat switch". It kinda works, but the buttons are not bound properly, and the triggers don't work at all. Rebinding it would be possible, but if the triggers don't work, I can't rebind them either.

 

So, I'm guessing Windows Server is missing the controller drivers that regular windows has, but I have no idea how to install those drivers to windows server. I think if I could somehow extract the driver from my personal WIndows 10 computer, I might be able to install it in the server, but I only managed to extract third party drivers.

 

So basically I'm asking for two things:

A warkourand to get a Wireless Xbox One controller working on Windows Server 2022,

or a way to extract the built-in driver from Windows 10 and then installing it on the server.

Any help or idea is appreciated.
