Windows does not detect Xbox One controller on USB

I realise this may be very borderline OT... but in the hopes someone else has tried this...
I connected an Xbox One controller to my Windows 8.1 PC last night and it worked fine - Windows detected it.
This morning, I tried again - the white "X" light on the controller flashes slowly for about 10 seconds, then turns off. Windows never detects anything.
The only difference between last night and today is that today I am not at home (where my console is kept) - so my Xbox One console is obviously out of radio range.
Does this mean that I cannot use my XBox One controller as a USB controller on a PC, unless my console is within radio range too? That would be kinda useless.
Thanks!
