My Xbox one x controller won't pair

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are experiencing difficulties with syncing your controller to your console.

If you connect your controller using a USB, are you able to maintain a connection after you unplug your controller?

I would recommend taking a look at the
Wireless Controller Solution article as it would provide for you additional troubleshooting techniques to sync your controller.

Give this a try and let us know if this works for you!

If you want to just straight up pair a controller to a PC without the need for an adapter, recent Xbox One controllers use normal Bluetooth and would pair without issue - https://www.pcgamer.com/xbox-one-controller-on-pc/ will
tell you how to spot which ones will support this as the original Xbox One controllers don't.

I have struggled with the same issue using the standard Xbox one X controller. I've tried several things but to my knowledge once you pair the controller back to the Xbox, you will need to unpair it and pair it back up to your PC each time you have done
