BSOD when connecting Xbox controller via bluetooth
1. Open terminal as administrator
2. List drivers with this command: pnputil /enum-drivers > drivers.txt
3. Type pwd and navigate to that path to find the text file. You can just copy paste the response into the file explorer.
4. Open the driver.txt file and search for 1.14.20.740 (this is problematic driver version). Take note of the driver file name. For me it was oem72.inf, for other user it was oem74.inf, for you it may be different.
5. Uninstall the driver by running the command: pnputil /delete-driver driverName.inf /uninstall /force, replacing the "driverName.inf" with what you got from the previous step
6. Restart computer and reconnect your Xbox controller. It should now work.
Followed this but again the Green Screen (and what a horrible green) as soon as I connect an XBox Controller. Controller is an Elite v2 if that helps others.
This worked for me. Thanks.
Btw; as it worked for me, I also added it to the Feedback Hub:

Feel free to upvote and confirm.Huge thanks, that drove me crazy, already bought a 5m USB cable xD
Absolute legend, this has been diving me mad for a month!
You sir, are a hero.
This worked like a charm.
For those who can't find the drivers.txt file in their C:\Windows\System32 folder: you might be able to find it in the folder you ran the terminal command from. For instance, when I opened the terminal I was already in the C:\Users\<my username> folder. From there I ran the command and the drivers.txt file appeared in the same folder.
But like the previous poster said, typing "pwd" in the prompt after pressing enter on the initial command will reveal its location.
This worked perfectly for me! Suggest it to be marked as a solution.
This works. Mine is oem68.inf. Thank you so much!
