Same issue here. I am an IT professional and have had this issue on some devices since windows 10 came out. This time I can't connect my (new) xbox controller. Windows can see the device but it fails to connect every time....
Why is Windows 10 Bluetooth so so so bad ?

I am sick of connecting through Bluetooth on my Windows 10
- Disconnects automatically randomly
- Bluetooth is on but can't connect to the device because it tells that your bluetooth is off.
- Devices appear when bluetooth is toggled off, disappear when toggled on.
- Nothing happens no matter what you try. The only solution is to restart your device.
- After restarting, works for some time. Then randomly ... (please start from point 1 again).
I am so sick of this happening everytime. How can it be so bad? Is Microsoft doing absolutely nothing to fix this.
It makes me want to throw my laptop and pull out my hair. Then I remember, how stupid of me. This has got to do with my Windows, software. How will throwing my laptop help. And then I remember again; if it's a software - it can be fixed! Fix it please!! You made such a huge operating system, you can maybe fix a bluetooth.
PS - I'll check this thread later. I need to restart my system again, need to connect to bluetooth

2022-04-19T19:10:00+00:00 When you find yourself scratching your head wondering why a bunch of smart people could leave core, basic functionality like bluetooth not working, maybe the answer is that it's that way on purpose. Maybe it's not seen as strategic for Windows laptops to have good bluetooth?
Microsoft doesn't make these laptops, but the bluetooth has been really really **** on my Dell, Toshiba, and HP laptops, and it works great on Apple.
This has to be a strategic decision by all these companies. There's no way that such a core and glaring functionality could suck so hard across all these laptop vendors, when, obviously, it doesn't have to.
