Windows 10: Since Windows Update XBOX ONE Controllers Won't Connect To Bluetooth.

Since Last Windows Update November 2020 XBOX ONE Controllers Won't Connect To Bluetooth. This issue started since the last update several days ago. My controllers worked fine on Bluetooth but now they refuse to connect to Bluetooth I tested both controllers and updated the controller drivers and all PC drivers relating to Bluetooth. Did all the device manager "troubleshooting" and no luck with this. The controllers will work when plugged in directly to the PC USB ports but not Bluetooth. All my other Bluetooth Devices will connect to my PC Airpods, Razer Turret Keyboard, etc so my PC Bluetooth still works, but it will not recognize the Xbox 1 controllers. The controllers are in perfect condition and new batteries. On one laptop the controllers will connect fine on Bluetooth, but my other laptop they will no longer connect to Bluetooth. Yet other Bluetooth devices connect perfectly…? Help?... Worked fine before last update...

You will be asked for a PIN when connecting your wireless Xbox One controller via Bluetooth on Windows 10 if your Bluetooth drivers are not updated. It is also possible that you have to reset the controller to remove the PIN. To resolve your concern, restart
your controller by following the steps below:

• Power off the controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button on the controller for 6 seconds.
• Press the Xbox button again to power it back on.
• Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller to your PC using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
