DualShock 3 setup
DualShock 3 on Windows needs WinUSB for the PlayStation WebUSB path. If WebUSB returns Access denied, the controller is usually still using the default HID driver, or another app may already have it open.
  
Xbox controller requires WinUSB
Your controller  is using default Windows drivers. Xbox controllers on Windows require the WinUSB driver to function properly. If access is denied, another app may already be using the controller. The controller can only be connected in one place at a time.

If your controller is an Xbox One S / Xbox One X pad, software calibration needs a Series conversion first. The convert wizard here only runs on firmware v3.1 or v5.23 — use Xbox Accessories to update or legacy-downgrade as needed while the default Windows driver is still installed (before WinUSB / Zadig). If you are already on v3.1 or v5.23, close this dialog, install WinUSB, then continue.

Important: Firmware changes in Xbox Accessories need the default driver — do them before switching to WinUSB with Zadig.
Quick steps
If WinUSB access is blocked, the controller may still be on the default driver or another app may already have it open. The controller can only be connected in one place at a time.
  1. Update or downgrade firmware in the Xbox Accessories app (Microsoft Store) as needed — conversion requires v3.1 or v5.23.
  3. Close any other app that may already be using the controller. It can only be connected in one place at a time.
  4. Reconnect the controller and click Retry below.

Xbox controller firmware is old
Your controller  firmware v?.?.?.? is older than v5.20. Calibration and some other features may not work reliably until you update.

If your controller is an Xbox One S / Xbox One X pad, software calibration needs a Series conversion first. The convert wizard here only runs on firmware v3.1 or v5.23 — use Xbox Accessories to update or legacy-downgrade as needed while the default Windows driver is still installed (before WinUSB / Zadig). If you are already on v3.1 or v5.23, install WinUSB and continue.

Important: Firmware changes in Xbox Accessories need the default driver — do them before switching to WinUSB with Zadig.
Step by step:

1) Update firmware in the Xbox Accessories app (Microsoft Store). Connect the controller via USB and follow the update prompt.
2) Re-install WinUSB for this controller using Zadig (select the controller - choose WinUSB Replace Driver). Click here for detailed install/uninstall instructions .
3) Reconnect the controller and return here.
 
Xbox One S/X - Xbox Series conversion
This flashes your Xbox One S / Xbox One X controller so it behaves like an Xbox Series controller. After that, DriftGuard can use Series-style software calibration and related features. The controller must be on firmware v3.1 or v5.23 before you run this (step 1). On other firmware versions, update or legacy-downgrade in Xbox Accessories first. When the wizard finishes, the controller will reboot and you will need to open Xbox Accessories and press Update if the app asks, to complete the switch (step 3).

Windows only. Experimental: use at your own risk, keep USB stable, and you may need to uninstall WinUsb afterward. For help, ask on Discord .
Step 1 — Firmware v3.1 or v5.23

Xbox Series — Xbox One revert
This rolls back a compatible Xbox Series controller toward Xbox One-style behavior (how the pad identifies and what firmware track it follows). The controller must be on firmware v5.23 before you start (step 1). When the wizard finishes, the pad reboots — open Xbox Accessories if needed and follow any on-screen firmware prompts (step 3).

Windows only. Experimental: use at your own risk.
Step 1 — Firmware v5.23

i Load a valid rdhm .bin. The summary under the file row lists slots (a, b, …), each controller region id, and payload sizes. Keep Single region only on the default to flash the full default plan for that file; pick a letter to flash just that region. If the controller reboots mid-run, use Reconnect and continue. More detail: _docs/gip_docs/xbox-rdhm-firmware-flash.md.
Xbox Series/One firmware flasher
Flash firmware from disk. The tool detects regions from your rdhm file and uses the default flash plan for that layout. Use a solid USB cable. Wrong images can brick the controller.
