Windows 10: Controllers won't show up in bluetooth list Windows 11

Hi,I recently bought a new pc and tried to pair my xbox elite series 2 controller to it, it did not show up in the bluetooth list. Assuming I did something wrong I check if I could connect the controller to a different device, that seemed to work just fine.So the error is in my pc, maybe the bluetooth was just broken, I've tried reinstalling my bluetooth drivers by uninstalling them in device manager, I updated the xbox controller, I've updated my windows and basically everything is up to date, still not working. I was thinking to buy a different controller to see if that would work, so I boug

Xbox controller does not show up in Bluetooth pairing list

I had an Xbox One wireless controller for PC and I have been using it on Win11. A couple of days ago I have unpaired (removed) the device from Bluetooth paired devices list. Since that day, I am unable to pair the controller anymore. The controller is in pair mode, but it does not show up in the detected device list.

What I have tried so far:

• Connected the controller via USB cable and it is working
  
• Paired the controller to another PC and it is working
  
• Reinstalled bluetooth drivers (did not help)
  
• Refreshed firmware on controller (did not help)
  

Today I have bought an Xbox Series X/S wireless controller for PC too and it does the same error. The device cannot be paired and it does not show up in the list.

Could anyone help me with this problem? I have bought two controller already and none of those are working via Bluetooth. Both can be paired to another PC, so the controllers are fine. It has been working on my PC before until I have unpaired it manually.

Also my Bluetooth is working because I am able to connect any other devices but Xbox controllers.

Here are a few additional steps you might try:

Make sure that your Windows device is running the latest update. To check that your device is up to date:

1. Select the Start button on your taskbar.
   
2. Enter Settings in the search bar, and then select the Settings app.
   
3. Select Windows Update > Check for updates.
   

Run Bluetooth troubleshooter.

Try these solutions if your controller doesn’t connect and/or your controller’s light blinks but never pairs with your Windows device.

1. Select the Start button on your taskbar, and then enter Bluetooth in the search bar.
   
2. Select Find and fix problems with Bluetooth devices.
   
3. Use the prompts on-screen to complete the troubleshooter.
   

Restart your PC.

Select the Windows logo key > Power >Restart.

Remove Interference.

Move closer to your PC and eliminate potential interference (such as from cell phones or other Bluetooth devices).

Let me know how it goes.
