#Help with Bluetooth pairing method – double blinking mode on Xbox controller

I need help with my Xbox controller (Bluetooth model). Some time ago, I watched a video (in Portuguese) that showed a specific method to pair the controller with a PC via Bluetooth. That method made the Xbox button blink twice rapidly, which was different from the usual slow blinking when entering normal pairing mode.

That double-blink mode was the only method that worked for me in the past to connect the controller to my PC via Bluetooth, but unfortunately, I can’t remember the exact button sequence.

I've already tried:

Pressing the Sync button (on the back) twice quickly.

Holding the Sync button and tapping the Xbox button.

Holding the Xbox button together with Start/Menu.

I’ve also updated the controller firmware via the Xbox Accessories app and used fresh batteries, but nothing helped.

My question is:
Is there any official or alternative method, recognized by Microsoft, to make the Xbox controller enter that specific double-blink pairing mode for connecting to a PC?

I would really appreciate any help or a link to an official tutorial/video.
