problems with Xpeira X ADB and Flashtool - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

Hi,
i have a problem with ADB drivers for the phone. i have downloaded it from Sony (Link:https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-x-driver/) and install it like they said (by going in to device manager and manually installing it). after booting it to Fastboot, Flashtool says i have to install them from the drivers folder, which however, does not contain the Xperia X driver. Also, when selecting the Flashboot and Flashmode drivers, one installs but the other doesn't which is "Google, Inc, (WinUSB) Android UsbDeviceClass".
While in Fastboot, i tired to delete it, then update it using the download driver from Sony which failed to install. Also, in device manager it say something like S1 fastboot driver with a Waring symbol (it's not recognised), and upon checking in flashtool while in Fastboot, it says there is no ADB drivers installed, just Fastboot.
i have tried booting the phone with USB debugging and it does recognise it, but still doesn't work when booting to Fastboot.
BTW i am on Windows 10
any information would be useful.

thanks, just to confirm, by force install do you mean to download from sony and install within device manager, by 'adding legacy software' ?
if so, i have done that and the driver appears, and shows the following error:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device.
Also, still and unrecognised 'S1 fastboot ' driver appeared when in Fastboot.
thank you again.

If you install Jdk you already have driver, you just right click choose update driver> choice option 2 ( I choose driver from my computer > choose from list device > android > adb. Next, it will show a alert message bla bla > yes :3 use flash tools again to see the magic

How to install ADB Xperia x
finally!!!
it's worked. Thanks for your help max26292 (although would have been nice to hear back but a huge thank you!)!
Here's what i did (not in the exact order though)
i used the instruction from Sony - http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiae3dual/kb/0231018805656b91c0145c620eeaf004cb9/(Not for the Xperia X though but usable) on how to install the Xperia driver, and after restarting the PC, Flashtool still didn't recognise while in Fastboot. Also, in device manage there, was a Waring sign next to it, and gave the error as mentioned previously. image is below of the sign.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then installed the 15 seconds ADB from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 ( i keptpressing Y) after a reboot and putting the phone in Fastboot, still Flashtool had the same messages about drivers, like i said in the first post.
i then tired out max26292's method, which there are images below to show the process. i put the phone in Fastboot, and where the warning sign was, NOT THE SAME PLACE AS THE IMAGE SHOWN ABOVE, rather where it said "S1Boot Fastboot" . using the steps you mentioned (THANKS ALOT BTW!) :
i right clicked on the s1 fastboot> clicked update driver> chose the second option - browse my computer>
the clicked on "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"> then browsed for the driver i'd already installed from Sony - the "Sony sa0114> kept clicking next, and yes to a warning message> restarted computer and BANG! it worked!
i however should mention that i did try to install the flashmode and fastboot driver from flashtool, but one of them failed to install - i have mentioned n my previous post, please refer back. so, you may want to do that, but i think the 15 seconds ADB will do it for you. also, i have not done commands so i can't test it out fully, bu when i do, i will let you know.
again i would like to thank everyone for your help, really appreciate it!
P.S. Please put a F U C K ING updated guide up Sony, T W A T s.

thank you, but i don't have them. i only have the Sony ones and ADB by Samsung, which the 15 seconds ADB program installed.
when i connected to Fastboot, Flashtool does recognise it, so it should work right?
thanks again

1. install XPERIA COMPANION
2. INSTALL FLASHTOOL (www.flashtool.net)
3. after installing flastool goto C:\Flashtool\drivers and you will find "Flashtool-drivers.exe" / run it and install from list "common fastboot drivers", "common flashmod drivers" and xperia z series with Xperia X series motherboard drivers.
windows 10 gives digital signature verification errors so you have to
Use the following steps to disable driver signature enforcement.
Click the Start menu and select Settings.
Click Update and Security.
Click on Recovery.
Click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
Click Troubleshoot.
Click Advanced options.
Click Startup Settings.
Click on Restart.
