When you connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to your Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 PC with a micro-USB cable, Windows will automatically download and install the drivers for the controller. If Windows is not set to automatically download device software, you can check for updates through Device Manager. GUIDE: Whoever has issues getting the driver for new Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows 10 This guide is for people that can't get Win10 to automatically find the correct driver for their Wireless Adapter.
Seemingly it's registering as 2 controllers and many games are broken including Steam Big Picture.
Half the games I'm playing don't work properly, Dragon's Dogma being the most irritating.
Oh and the controller will disconnect shortly after connecting, until you re-sync (press dongle button, power on controller, press controller sync quickly)
UPDATE: Roll back the driver as per the instructions here (I wouldn't recommend re-applying the current driver though)

If the old driver isn't listed, you can retrieve one from the Microsoft Update Catalogue

Xbox One Controller Driver For Pc
I will go ahead and check the guide you posted. EDIT: That's just basic Windows driver 101 tips...I already described in my first post that I did all of that. I will describe it again (not the order in which I did those things):
1.Cleaned registry & and tried getting the wireless dongle to work
2.Uninstalled/reinstalled the Xbox One Controller driver & and tried getting the wireless dongle to work
3.Installing the driver through device manager automatically & and tried getting the wireless dongle to work
4.Installing the driver through device manager manually by either choosing the Xbox One Controller driver file or using a preinstalled set of Network adapter / USB / Xbox drivers & and tried getting the wireless dongle to work
5.Switched the receiver to 7 different USB ports (both 2.0 and 3.0) & and tried getting the wireless dongle to work
6. EXCHANGED THE THING AT THE RETAILER WHICH DIDN'T WORK AS WELL!
->Nothing worked, the device always showed up under 'Other devices' menu in device manager with a yellow exclamation mark next to it and was named 'XBOX ACC'. And don't even get me started on those 100s of restarts I had to make!
Please notice that I am, BY FAR, not the only one having this problem. Here is just a small selection of links with people that have my exact same issue:
