  1. The controller worked before, but suddenly just stopped working after a while.
  2. I removed the device from my computer to attempt a re-pair
  3. Yes I made sure to click the "Bluetooth" when the three options appear to pair
  4. Yes I made sure my controller was in pair mode (Xbox Logo Quick Flashing)
  5. Yes I made sure to go to Xbox accessories to do a update
  6. My bluetooth isnt broken as i can connect to my phone and bluetooth headphones
  7. It works with wire.

Okay I have finally figured out the problem. I have TWO xbox one controllers, one is newer with bluetooth supported, difference being the fact that the one with NO bluetooth support has plastic darker plastic surrounding the xbox button. While the one WITH the bluetooth has the Xbox button surrounded by the original material without the black plastic around it. I was dumb. My bad.
