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 doesn't connect via Bluetooth

Greetings,

As per title, my controller (Nintendo Switch Pro Controller) is not connecting to my PC via bluetooth. All online walkthroughs i came through cover cases where either the controller doesn't connect via bluetooth nor cable, or it connects fine with both. In
my case, cable works (partially?), while bluetooth doesn't recognize it.

I have already tried updating my bluetooth drivers, or device drivers.

I heard the Pro Controller has native support on W10, but it may have been wrong information.
