Xbox One Controller won’t connect to Xbox One S

controllersxbox-one

My 1 month old xbox one controller won't connect to my xbox one S wirelessly anymore.

Yesterday I was playing FIFA 17 locally against a friend when I had to pause. After pausing my controller disconnected and it would not connect anymore. I tried a lot of things and it looks like it's related to this specific controller and my xbox.

I tried connecting this controller on my macbook via bluetooth and it worked. I tried connecting this controller on my xbox via USB cable and it worked. The other controller is working perfectly with the xbox one, so I think I can rule out it being a console issue.

I've tried everything here:

and a few things on other sites/videos. No luck!

As I said before, after all the testing I've done it seems to be a problem between my xbox one S and that controller. And that is the controller it came bundled with!

Any ideas?

My guess would be that you would have to pair the controllers again. By pressing the pairing button and adjusting a specific setting and your controller might work
