    How can I more easily reconnect my Xbox controller to my Windows PC?


    I use my controller with multiple devices but when trying to reconnect it to my Windows PC I run into issues.

    When trying to reconnect it, it remains in the Bluetooth list as if its still paired, and when I hold the button to put the controller into pairing mode the Bluetooth list shows that the controller is paired intermittently but the Xbox button doesn't stay solidly lit.

    Annoyingly, Windows doesn't let you "forget" a Bluetooth device like android does. I tried to remove the controller and connect to it again but it always says "remove failed". Android handles this much better by being able to forget a device and add it again. I can't do that in this case because Windows thinks its paired already so even with the controller in pairing mode, Windows isn't recognising it as a new device to be added.

    What can I do to make reconnecting my controller to my PC easier?

    :)

    Xbox 360 and Xbox one controller for PC

    Many PC games let you play with an Xbox Wireless Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. You can connect your controller to a Windows PC by using a USB cable, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, or over Bluetooth. Some PCs also come with Xbox
    Wireless built in, so you can connect a controller directly without an adapter.
    The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows can be easily installed on any PC that has an available USB port and is running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7.
