Windows 10: How to keep wired xbox one controller powered after shutting down my pc?

So, i have a wired xbox one controller from PowerA, which is always plugged into my computer, but for some reason i need to unplug and plug it again after turning on my pc for it to be recognized by the pc and turn on.Is there a way to keep the controller powered even when i turn off the pc?I already unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and it does not work.

Thank you for your response. We would like to verify if you have tried to plug the controller into a different USB port on your computer.

The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows needs a powered USB port. If the controller is not working correctly, try changing it to a different USB port. Avoid using USB hubs or the front ports on a PC. Unpowered hubs or ports might not provide enough power
to the controller. For best results, plug the controller into another USB port on the back of the computer.

Typically, the ports on the back of a computer are powered ports. Ports on the front of the computer may not be powered ports. An external USB hub doesn’t provide powered ports if it doesn’t have its own separate power supply or AC adapter.

Since the issue started after an update, you can uninstall Windows Updates from your computer by following the steps below:

• Click Start and go to Settings.
• Go to Update & security.
• Under the Check for updates button, click Update History.
• Select Uninstall updates.
• Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

This process will only allow you to remove updates that Windows has installed since installing the previous build.

Make sure that your controller is calibrated by following the steps on this
link.

Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.
