  1. Xbox One Controller will not connect to my PC anymore


    I bought an Xbox One Wireless Controller a while back with my PC and it connected wirelessly just fine for the longest time, until less than a year ago it just stopped connecting. It works fine with a wired connection, but not wirelessly. I have searched everywhere and have not found any solutions. Under my devices it just says that the controller is paired but it never connects. Any help would be extremely helpful.

    :)
