    Why are xbox Controllers so bad at connecting to a pc?


    I have owned many pc's and xbox controllers and they never work very well with each other. Sometimes the controller randomly disconnects and because there is no "connect" button in the settings I have to remove the device and reconnect it manually. This is very annoying because on my xbox console it wokes fine. they always connect without me having to do anything. I hope Windows fixes this sometime soon, but does someone have an app for me to use in the meantime? I would be very thankful for answers.

    :)

    Is this happening when you connect the controllers via bluetooth?

    I ask this because as stated here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    "The Xbox Wireless Controller can connect via Bluetooth to many PCs, tablets, laptops, and VR/AR headsets. However, reliability is dependent on the device’s Bluetooth card and experiences may vary."

    Xbox consoles use a proprietary connection protocol, this is why the experience isn't the same when using bluetooth on PC

    So Why is the Xbox PC App so Bad?

    The app is garbage, it disallows me from using my mic to speak in parties for literally no reason, it works perfectly on every other communication application, but on the Xbox App it just blasts static down the mic. Broken ass app please fix.
