I can use a power outlet to power my Xbox One controller using a USB charger.
My laptop also gives my Xbox One controller power but instead registers as a plug and play device and doesn't connect to the Xbox One but instead works on the PC as a gamepad.
Is there anyway I can make it so the PC just supplies power the Xboe One controller instead of making it a gamepad?

In the eventuality you have a spare usb cable that you don't use for anything else, you can put some thin tape on the data pins (the two middle ones) and it will turn it into a power only cable. The PC simply won't see your gamepad while still powering it.
