Windows 10 and 11 system problems.
Fixes
A controller that pairs to a console forgets the PC, and vice versa — it only remembers one wireless host. Check pairing mode first, then re-pair.

A Bluetooth device that won't pair is usually not in pairing mode, out of battery, or already paired to something else. Work through these checks before touching drivers.

Windows shows the headphones as connected but plays nothing. Usually it picked the hands-free calling profile instead of the stereo one, or is still using the laptop speakers.

A Windows update stuck at a percentage is usually a corrupt update cache or too little free space. Run the troubleshooter first, then clear the cache.

No sound on Windows 11 is usually the wrong output device being selected, not a broken driver. Check that first, then work down to enhancements and drivers.

Compatibility
Yes — over USB on every model, but Bluetooth only works on newer controllers, and headsets and chatpads stop working when you connect that way.
