Ever since I updated my PC to windows 11. My wireless xbox controller adapter designed for xbox one controllers will not work.
Lights on device and controllers will blink but they controllers will not sync. Ironically the xbox 360 wireless adapter that I also own works fine. But who wants to play with a 360 controller over xbox one?
It worked fine on windows 10. What is the work around?

You know none of these half baked "solutions" you support people suggest do anything? These Xbox wireless adapters have had terrible driver and customer support from the beginning. MS has unlimited funds, why not actually provide a solution that works?
Tried everything, and nothing worked, but the solution was very simple, just connecting the controllers with usb cable, wait a few seconds, disconnect the controller and now it syncs, tried with all my controllers and it worked...
Ignore these long lists of try this try that. @Braindrill suggestion worked.
Simply connect the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Press the Sync button on the Adapter and connect your controllers with a USB cable. Wait a few seconds, disconnect the USB cable and there you go.
Happy controlling!

Go to settings and search for "Turn airplane mode on or off". At the bottom you should see a slider for "Xbox Wireless". Turn the slider to the on position.
