Default Windows failing to recognise Xbox controller



I have a wireless Xbox one controller that I can hook up to the PC with a
USB cable. Problem is after the first time, which worked flawlessly, it
won't recognise it again.

The first time it did the usual "setting up" device and was listed in the
devices setting.

However, since then nothing. When I connect the controller it buzzes in
response, but windows is dumb. I even went into the old "control panel"
which has the controller listed, but it's greyed out and "disconnected".

How can I get win 10 re-recognise the controller which can work perfectly
well?

Forget the device first by right-clicking it and choosing that option,
then resync the controller to your computer.

Yeah, I'd already tried that. Now doesn't show up in Control Panel either
