Another way to fix xbox 360 wired freeze - hang

So, in the previous article, I shared how to fix your wired Xbox 360. Now, I've updated the information to include using VC (virtual controller). For those of you who don't want to install Xbox360CE, I recommend just installing VC and HIDGuardian.

By using ViGEm Bus Driver and HIDGuardian from Nefarius. ViGEm Bus Driver is a windows kernel-driver that can emulate your controllers like xbox and playstation on windows 10 and HIDGuardian can hide your original controller driver and replace it with ViGEm.

So, if you want to install it, follow these steps. You'll need to disable driver signature enforcement for a smooth installation.

  1. Reboot or boot into the Advanced Boot Menu by pressing the shift key while clicking the Windows logo, select "Reboot" or go to Windows settings "Update & Security" | "Recovery" | "Advanced Startup"
  2. If you use shift + power logo, select "Troubleshoot" | "Advanced Options" | “Start-up Settings”
  3. Press F7 or 7 in number after that Windows will reboot after that we can install the ViGEm and HIDGuardian drivers, follow the steps below.

How to install ViGEm and HIDGuardian:

  1. Download the xbox360ce
  2. Open the application, then go to the "options" tab and in it there is a "Virtual Device" and "HIDGuardian" tab, install it
  3. After that you can delete the xbox360ce application
I recommend installing it via the Xbox360CE app because it's easier. HIDGuardian requires developer tools to build the app. Well, this is the way to fix your controller.
