Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 is not working anymore (NOT Xbox ACC Issue)

Hey everyone,

I feel like I'm going mad... This may be the last thing I post before my head explodes...

Anyway, my Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 stopped working after a damned Windows 10 Update happened around Christmas. It was working fine and I could connect both my controller and Xbox headset to my PC using this adapter without any issues. I'll give
more details below.

• It is recognized by my laptop as "Xbox Wireless Adapter"(so it's not the Xbox ACC issue), the light flashes, but I can't pair it with any Xbox controller and headset, even though it worked perfectly when I got it, and it still works on other devices I have,
  so it's definitely not a hardware issue.
• I have searched for the issue online extensively and tried all of the fixes from these forums and others.
• Things I've tried:
  • Restarting and plugging into different USB port
  • Manually updating the drivers. Tried various driver versions from the Microsoft Update Catalog
  • Unistalling the drivers and letting them reinstall automatically
  • Fiddling with Wake/Sleep options of the Xbox Wireless Adapter
  • Updating Controller firmware

After a bit more research, it seems like one of the security updates from Windows 10 has broken these wireless adapters for a lot of people. I just need help understanding which security patch I need to uninstall in order for my Xbox Wireless Adapter to
work again.

I am running Windows 10 Home(Build 1803) and the license is OEM, running on a Dell G5 laptop.

P.S. I know this topic has been discussed before, but none of the fixes work for me, so that's why I've posted a new one.
