Xbox One Wireless controller keeps disconnecting

Hello.

I recently bought a Xbox One Wireless controller with the PC wireless adapter.

The problem is... after I logon into Windows 10 the controller connects fine ONE TIME, then, after turning it off and then turning it on again, the controller connects (light stay still) for about 1 or 2 seconds and then the controller turns off again, I even can use it in those 1 or 2 seconds, showing that it successfully connected, but then it disconnects. The problem is only solved after I logoff and login again into Windows (don't need to do a full reboot).

My wired Xbox 360 controller works like a charm. Why do the next gen controller of Microsoft doesn't work well with a system developed by the same company? When I google it, it's problems all around. And judging by the behavior, it's a driver problem, not hardware, cause if it was a defective unit a simple logoff-login wouldn't fix it (and lots of other people wouldn't have similar problems).

Thanks in advance.

    I know everybody hate geforce experience, but I actually like it. Never had a problem before. But it's worth trying.

    I'll try one more thing... Windows 10 has that Feeback Hub integrated. I'll try to repost the problem there and I hope someone could help or at least provide a fix in the future drivers.

    How did you think to do this? Why would that have any impact? As far as I know, there is no detection of the gamepad with the experience.

    Also not being able to autoupdate the drivers kinda sucks.
