Windows 10: Xbox One S Controller Bluetooth randomly goes unresponsive

Hi,


My problem is that randomly while using the controller, it suddenly stops responding to any input. However it remains connected because the Xbox logo does not blink as if searching. What's bizarre is that by going into the windows 10 Bluetooth setting window, it starts responding again but that's really annoying to do every time especially in games where you have to Alt-Tab.


It works perfectly with a USB cable but I prefer it wireless if possible.


Thanks

:)
