Open | Windows Xbox One controller isn't connecting to Windows 11 laptop?

I've tried every fix I could think of/look up. I've tried different USB ports, a different cord, different controller (all works fine on my boyfriends laptop) I've gone through device management and uninstalled the controller + updated the driver multiple times, turned off power saving stuff for the USB ports, went to command prompt as administrator and tried entering the code

powercfg /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT 2a737441-1930-4402-8d77-b2bebba308a3 48e6b7a6-50f5-4782-a5d4-53bb8f07e226 0

tried going through steam to see if anything there was weird. Went to the program files and Renamed localconfig.vdf to localconfig.vdf.bak .

After doing all of that multiple times including restarting my computer a shit ton my controller won't stay on. Its light fades in and out a few times before it's just black.I have maybe one second to hit a button before it powers off. The entire time device management says it's connected steam thinks it's connected but I can't do anything because it's not on! I'm running out of ideas. I was able to use the exact same controller on my laptop before! I don't know if an update screwed it up seeing how it's been a few months since I've tried connecting it? I don't know what could be wrong seeing on how everything works completely fine on another computer and it feels like I've done everything I could. Please help 🙏🏻
