I am baffled and frustrated. Yesterday my controller defaulted to an audio device while being plugged in for charging so I removed it from audio. Since then it refuses to pair correctly with Windows. I will hold down the home button and be prompted from the add a device notifiication. This'll bring me to the devices window where I will confirm the pairing and it will be listed as "wireless controller" in mouse, keyboard and pen. As soon as I close the window it does away. Hence as soon as I load up a game there's no communication. I refuse to go back to using a cable and even when I do it mutes everything. It's messed up. I have my controller paired with bluetooth.

consider attempting to eliminate any entries related to the controller and check if reconnecting works correctly again
Avoid downloading anything (ignore pro tip)

Remove the device via Windows Device Manager and disconnect it from the pairing.
