If it's happening on different PC's then it would more than likely mean that either the adapter or the controller are the problem.

Would you please try having your PC forget the controller and disconnect. If it still continues to disconnect, try uninstalling and reinstalling the controller drivers by following our Wireless Controller Setup.

Also, If you haven't already, please check Xbox One Controller in Windows 10 Troubleshoot and Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows articles for further solutions to the issue.

If you’re having trouble with your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, it could be because the adapter drivers didn’t auto-install, the adapter stopped responding, your controller won’t connect or frequently
disconnects from your adapter, or because there’s interference between the controller and adapter.
Try fixing it with these troubleshooting solutions. Make sure your Windows 10 device is up to date, and try unplugging the device, restarting, and plugging it back in. Make sure your controller is in
range of the adapter. You can also move any objects between the controller and the adapter out of the way, and keep the adapter away from metal so there’s less interference. For more solutions, check out “Learn more” below.

Hi,

If your controller disconnects frequently from the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, this is typically due to environmental issues, such as no line of sight (between the controller and adapter) or a heavy amount of interference, such as from metallic objects.
Try these suggestions to improve the connection between your controller and adapter:

• Make sure you're within optimal range of the adapter (6 meters or less).
• Use the USB extender to bring the adapter closer to your controller.
• Ensure you have good line of sight between your adapter and your controller. Use the USB extender to help if needed. For these two devices to talk successfully, they need the most unobstructed opportunity to do so.
• Move the adapter away from metal and do not set it directly on a metal surface.
