Previously the two Xbox One Wireless Controllers worked like charm on Windows 10. Now, as I try them, they stay on for 5 seconds and then turn off.
This is not a battery issue. Rebooting computer helps, and I can then again play without problems until I again disconnect one controller. After that, all the controllers get again disconnected after 5 seconds when being on.
The controllers work well if they are wired (USB) to the PC. I have updated the controller firmware to the latest.
I think this issue started after Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Any possible fixes for this? Thanks.
EDIT: I just reinstalled Windows 10 (Anniversary) and now the controllers always disconnect after 1-5 seconds. No matter if I reboot the computer. So I cannot play wireless anymore!
EDIT2: The same problem was also mentioned here: "Installing the Windows 10 Anniversary update caused our Xbox One pads to briefly sync with our PC's Xbox One wireless adapter, then automatically power down."

I tried the other solutions but none of them solved the problem for me. However I think I found the culprit.
Do you use Steam? Because if I have Steam turned on I cannot turn the controller back on after it was turned off once. If I exit Steam and try to sync again, the controllers stay on. I've tried this more than once and it works.
After that I just start Steam again and I can use the controller without any problems.
UPDATE: I think I found the real issue here, it is Nvidia Wireless controller service. As I have disabled it I don't have problems with the controller anymore.
