    Xbox series S/X controller won't work wirelessly


    The controller seems to only be working when it's connected via USB. Bluetooth connected, drivers and firmware updated. I had to plug the controller in order for Xbox Accessories app to recognize it and update the firmware. As soon as I unplugged the USB cable from the controller it would stop working in game. Only steam Big Picture function would work wirelessly. Holding the Xbox logo button would bring it up and I can actually navigate Steams Big Picture mode. I have a feeling it's because I'm running Windows LTSC. Please help.
