    is there a clear solution to this issue?

    i'm using Win10 with a Xbox Wireless Adapter and Xbox One Controller

    the issue is there for years now and to my knowledge it's never really been resolved to this day

    long story short, after using it for some time with no problem, suddenly on a new power on the controller connects to the receiver and turns off after several LED blinks, it can be bypassed by rebooting the PC every time or updating the firmware of the controller, BUT here comes the new, bigger issue - after updating the firmware, controller tries to freeze the whole system and it is not just me and not just Win10, people playing on Xbox One are having the same exact issue, and the solution is - downgrading the firmware to have the blinking death of it again (not to mention there is no downgrading option without some hacking around on Win10)

    P.S. wiring the controller with a usb cable fixes it too, but what's the point of it being wireless in the first place?

    :)

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

    I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

    According to the explanation you have provided, please make sure to follow the following steps in order to fix your issue.

    You will need first to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

    Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

    Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

    The last option would be for you to try and request a replacement for your controller from the microsoft website online.

    Turning off immediately after turning on

    Well...

    It might be a console problem...

    if you have done full powercycling the console and tried a different outlet...

    If PSU light is solid green and orange then PSU is fine...

    The best course of action is to send it in for repair...

    You can do so on myservice.xbox.com

    XBox One controllers on PC connect then immediately turn off.

    Please disregard this post. Rebooting the computer fixed the issue. (I'm a 15 year computer technician and didn't think to do that first... EPIC Rookie Mistake *Facepalm*)
