1. Open terminal as administrator
2. List drivers with this command: pnputil /enum-drivers > drivers.txt

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.
