    I cannot connect my Xbox controller Series S/X to Windows 10.


    I cannot connect my Xbox controller Series S/X to Windows 10. I want to connect my Xbox controller to Windows 10 via Bluetooth for gaming. but when I want to add my controller, it does not show up in the list of available devices to connect and pair. I updated everything, and my Bluetooth works with my phone. I can connect it to the phone and share files and other stuff. I can also connect my Xbox controller to my phone. So both sides are fine, but it just doesn't show up in the list to connect. I am wondering if this Bluetooth hardware version is old or anything else. My Bluetooth LMP
