I'm afraid to say but at the moment there is no such feature for Xbox controllers, including the Adaptive controller.
It's always required to manually turn it on once you restart the PC / console.

Hi,

If you’re using the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10:

1. Turn on your PC and sign in.
   
2. Plug the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows into your PC. For more info, see
   Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
   
3. Turn on your controller by pressing the
   Xboxbutton. When you turn on the controller, the
   Xbox button will start flashing.
   
4. Press and hold the
   Pair button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter. A small light will flash for several seconds.
   
5. Press and hold the
   Pairbutton on the top of the controller (the raised button). The
   Xbox button on the controller will flash more rapidly – this means your controller is searching for the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
   When connected, the Xbox button on the controller will stay lit.
   

Hello, I hope you are well.

Please check these steps below.

What you are seeing with the LEDs is an indication that the Xbox 360 Explorer controller is entering pairing mode, not working mode. In order for the controller to function on your PC, you must first pair it with the Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter.

Steps to pair the controller with the wireless adapter:

Connect the wireless adapter: Connect the Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter to a USB port on your PC.

Press the pairing button on the adapter: On the wireless adapter, there is a small button (usually near the USB port). Press and hold this button for a few seconds. The LED on the adapter should start blinking.

Turn on the controller: Press the Xbox button in the center of the controller to turn it on.
