Expand the Human Interface Devices category and look for a device named HID-compliant game controller or something similar.
Right-click on the device and select Properties.
Go to the Details tab and select Hardware Ids from the drop-down menu.
You should see a code that starts with VID_ and PID_, followed by four digits each. For example, VID_0810&PID_0001. This is the hardware identifier of your USB adapter. Write it down or copy it somewhere.
Step 2: Find and Download the Driver
The next step is to find and download the driver for your USB adapter. You can try searching online for the hardware identifier of your USB adapter and see if there are any drivers available. Alternatively, you can use one of these sources:
