Xbox Wireless Controller not Working on PC

[Snakehide]

I've been using my Xbox Wireless controller on PC for a while now (the newer version with the capture button) and all of a sudden it will not work when I connect it via bluetooth or USB. Worked the night before. Checked for drivers in device manager and there were none; updated the controller in the Xbox Accessories app but it still does not work. Left stick and A-button work in settings for some reason, but games can't be played with it and it won't do anything else except turn on. My Switch Pro controller works fine, I tried it for comparison and that would imply it's not an issue with my computer. Suggestions? Solutions? Thanks.

 

I did copy and paste this from my original post in Console Gaming, but I figured Troubleshooting would be a better place to post, please let me know if that's considered spam, haha.

I'm still not sure about that answer; if the board is screwed I would expect it to not connect or work at all, but the controller is still "working" with specific apps. 

 

Thanks for replying again, lol
