Windows 10: Switch Pro Controller not connecting to my PC

I've been endlessly trying to connect my Nintendo Switch Pro controller to my PC with a USB cord because Bluetooth doesnt work on my PC. Nothing has worked at all, I've tried reinstalling all my USB drivers, doing an SFC scan, and even reset my PC. The cord can't be the issue since my sister's laptop is able to recognize the controller, but not my PC

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Bluetooth: Have To Keep Unpairing

I use my Switch Pro Controller for most of the games I have right now on both PC and Switch. Mostly it's wireless bluetooth to connect, but every time I want to disconnect my controller from the PC to to connect it to my switch I have to unpair it from my
PC list if I want to connect it back to my PC.

I don't know why my PC doesn't automatically detect my controller when I'm syncing to it, but there's an option when right clicking the bluetooth icon that's grayed out that says "Allow A Device To Connect" and I can't use the option for some reason.

 

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller not being detected by Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that when you connect the Nintendo Switch Pro controller to the computer, it is not being detected, we will look into this for you.



However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:

• Does the Nintendo Switch Pro controller gets detected in any other computer?
  
• Were you able to use the Nintendo Switch Pro controller earlier on your current computer?
  
• Is any other USB Device detected on your computer?
  
• Do you see any Unknown device or a yellow yield sign on any device in Device Manager?
  
• May I know the troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?
  

To check for unknown devices, you can press Windows key + X, and select
Device Manager.



If you see any Unknown device or a device with yellow yield, right click on the device and select
Update Driver.



However, we would also suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Error: “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive. except Method 1 and 2 and check if that helps in resolving the issue.



Let us know how it goes.
