    Xbox controller not connecting


    My xbox controllers are not connecting to my xbox - all of a sudden one stop working, even when plugged into the xbox (although it would turn the xbox on, just wouldn't do anything else). A few weeks later, the same thing happened to my other controller! So the controllers turn on and when they do they turn on the xbox, but they have no functionality past that. I have tried:

    -power cycling the xbox and the controllers

    -plugging them in to pair

    -pairing from the xbox button

    -pairing from the controller and devices menu (which my controllers do not appear on, even when plugged in and after turning the xbox on)

    -updating my xbox (i can't check the controllers because they don't appear in the menu)

    -waiting it out and hoping for the best

    And probably a million other things I am forgetting in my frustration help pls, I'm running out of controllers

    My Xbox controller won’t connect

    So recently my Xbox wasn’t connecting to the internet at all. The servers weren’t shut down, the Xbox would just not connect to the wifi. The Xbox gave me a notification that it had to do with a problem with the connection of the controller. The
    controller would have to be restarted and connect to the wifi. It restarted the controller but it wouldn’t connect to the Xbox. I tried syncing the controller like when I first got it, I tried other controllers, and I even tried using a cable to connect the
    controller to the Xbox, yet it still won’t connect.
    Other controllers works?

    All controller don't connect/work? Or only one? (maybe your preferred controller)
