I think the major issue with this is the device timeout that causes the issue.

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 have a similar problem.
It says that controler is paired, when i press the xbox button in the middle it even connects, but as soon as i let go of the button it disconnects. I OBVIOUSLY can't play this way, any ideas?
This problem still exists in 2019.
Xbox One Controller will connect to PC for 1 second, then disconnect.
Need to uninstall and reinstall the driver to work. Works once per time the controller is on.
I'm sorry to my Logitech controller that I cheated on.
Did you previously have a wireless xbox360 controer attachef or any 360.
Delete that driver and oroblme solved
you also will have to tick show hidden devices in device manager because they dont always show up otherwise
