To reconnect your controller to your PC, first ensure it's charged. For a wired connection, simply plug the controller into your PC's USB port. For Bluetooth, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices on your PC. Make sure Bluetooth is on, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Put your controller in pairing mode (this varies by controller; usually holding the pairing button until the light flashes), then select it when it appears on your PC. If you encounter issues, restarting both the controller and the PC can often help.
