Windows 10: controller not connecting via bluetooth

I bought a new computer recently, and I am having trouble getting my controller to connect to my computer. I have looked and tried many different suggestions I have found but nothing works. I have tried two different x box one pro controllers to connect via Bluetooth on my computer, as well as both my PS5 controllers and my Nintendo pro controller. I have tried turning the controller off and back on and trying to connect, I have tried turning Bluetooth off and on, I have tried restarting my computer, I have tried uninstalling the Bluetooth drivers and reinstalling them, I have tried rolling

Cant connect my XBOX ONE controller to my W10 pc via bluetooth

Hi,

If you encounter issues connecting an Xbox One Wireless Controller on your Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth, it may be because of an incorrect device configuration. Another factor that we have to take into consideration is an outdated Bluetooth driver. We suggest
running the Bluetooth troubleshooter on your Windows 10 PC. Here are the steps:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings >
  Update & security > Troubleshoot.
• Under Find and fix other problems, select Bluetooth >
  Run the troubleshooter.
• Restart your device so that the changes will take effect.
• Disconnect then reconnect the controller and check if the same issue occurs.

We also recommend verifying if the Bluetooth device shows on the Device Manager. To do so, kindly perform the following steps:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
• In Device Manager, select View > Show hidden devices.
• In Device Manager, select View > Devices by connection.
• Find your Bluetooth hardware.

For additional troubleshooting steps, refer to
How to connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your Xbox One Wireless Controller. The details on that page will guide you how to connect the controller via Bluetooth as well as troubleshooting methods you may perform if you encounter issues with the Bluetooth
connection.

We're looking forward to get this issue resolved.

Do get back to us with the progress. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional troubleshooting solutions.
