  1. Xbox Wireless Controller connected to PC via Bluetooth will not reconnect after going to sleep


    I have my Series X|S controller connected to my computer via Bluetooth. When it's not being used for a bit it turns off, which is normal behaviour. However, when I turn it back on by pressing the Xbox button, it won't reconnect. When I open my Bluetooth settings it shows that it's paired, but there's no button to force it to connect. If I try removing it and then re-pairing, it says "Try connecting your device again". At this point the only way I am able to connect the controller to my PC wirelessly is by restarting my PC and re-pairing it, which is a major inconvenience.

    I don't want to spend extra money on the dedicated Xbox USB receiver just to get around this problem. Any advice?

    :)

    My post was deleted from the subreddit by a moderator and I was redirected back here.

    Either way, I have an update on the situation: I tried turning Bluetooth off and then back on, which allows me to reconnect the controller. However, this is still inconvenient, and sometimes the switch to toggle Bluetooth gets stuck in the Off setting.

    I'll suggest you report this as a feedback to the Xbox insiders subreddit. If this gets enough up votes, it will be considered as something people want and a change will be more likely in the works.

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

    There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print. Kindly check and go to driver, and download the existing drivers needed. Then restart, plug in the Receiver. Go to the same optional updates, and updated the driver.

    Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

    Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.

    If Updating the system doesn't help, I'll suggest you run a scan to check for problems and repair them.

    Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator. Next type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt window, and press Enter to start to scan and repair corrupt system files in Windows 10.
