Windows 10 Bluetooth Controller Connection

I know how to set up the Bluetooth connection and pair the controller. It works nicely right after the initial pairing process. I need to know how to reconnect it if connection is lost. The device still shows as "paired" under Bluetooth devices, but I want
it to say "connected." How do I reconnect it without having to "remove device" and start over.

P.S. - An example of this is when I go to use the controller on my Xbox One S. I simple press the pairing button on my console and hold the pairing button on the controller. After I'm done playing on the Xbox, I go to play again on my laptop. The controller
still shows as "paired," but I do not know how to initiate the connection once again (without removing the device and starting over).

Can I use a Blue Tooth Adapter instead of a Xbox Adapter?

Are you talking about connecting controllers to the PC?

With a USB bluetooth adapter, you can connect one Xbox One S controller to the computer. Bluetooth connectivity requires your computer to be running Windows 10 (with the Anniversary update).

Can i connect a third party bluetooth headset to Xbox One S?

Hi, I believe the Bluetooth capability is intended to connect the controller to your PC using Bluetooth.

•Bluetooth does not support any attachments, such as headsets, chatpads, or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.
