Thank you Vinodh_Kumar V
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
Step 3: Within the list of Device Manager, expand category Network adapters, Under this category, right-click on the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Windows 10. Then click Uninstall. Windows may have the driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the last time that you set up the device. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor's website. What controller are you using? For example, If you’re using an Xbox 360 wired controller or a Konami DDR Dance Pad for Dance Dance Revolution Universe for Xbox 360. Then there may be a little bit of driver fighting as Windows 10 will try to pull default drivers off of the update server. [3 Ways] The USB Controller IS In a Failed State on Windows 10 There are various problems with USB. The most common case is that when you find there are any port plugging in computer with the USB Controller, even if you want to run the troubleshooter to fix the USB issue, you are prompted that the USB Controller is in a failed state or is not. For help with update problems, see Troubleshoot update issues with your Xbox. On Windows 10, update your controller by using the Xbox Accessories app.
2.Uninstalled/reinstalled the Xbox One Controller driver & 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! Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children download torrent.
->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:

You’re a gamer who prefers to use a gamepad instead of the keyboard and mouse. While that’s odd for a Windows 10 PC gamer, we all like what we like. Now, a day comes when your gamepad is no longer working, and you’re wondering what is going on. If your USB gamepad or joystick is not being recognized in Windows 10, we’ve got a few fixes that should solve the problem once and for all. You may need to update the Driver, Adjust power management settings and get rid of some plug-n-play devices.
Gamepad is not recognized
It’s an issue of where the gamepad is not being recognized by Windows 10. You’ve run the Hardware Troubleshooter, restarted the computer, yet the issue still persists. So what’s the next move, then? Well, we’re going to talk about a number of ways to get this problem under control.
Update the driver
Many times, a problem with a Windows 10 compatible hardware all boils down to the driver. A simple update and the problem is fixed. You’ll need to download the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website.
In case you are using a gamepad that supports Windows 10 update the driver to its latest version.
If you are using an older gamepad that doesn’t fully support Windows 10, you may need to run the driver in Windows 7 or Windows 8 compatibility mode. To do this, download the gamepad driver, preferably the latest one, and right-click on the setup file, and then select Properties from the menu.
In the new window that pops up, search for compatibility tab, then click on “Run this program in compatibility mode.” From the drop-down menu, select either Windows 7 or Windows 8, and after that, complete the installation and restart the computer.
Adjust power management settings
Your gamepad not being recognized can be fixed with a simple adjustment of the power management settings in Windows 10.
Press down on the Windows Key + X to open the WinX menu, then select Device Manager from the list. From here, expand the option that says Universal Serial Bus controllers, then right-click on USB Root Hub and choose Properties.
The next move is to select Power Management, then clear all the check boxes under “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”
Restart the Windows 10 computer and try using your gamepad again.
Get rid of some plug-n-play devices
There’s a chance the number of devices plugged into your computer is causing the problem, so what you need to do, then, is to remove them or just the ones you’re not using.

Let’s face it, if a computer has enough ports, we’ll plug a host of things into the computer and never remove them even when they’re not in use.
For the most part, these tips should do the job. However, should they fail to work, then the best means of moving forward may very well be to get a new gamepad.
