  1. My Controllers keep repeatedly disconnecting from my Xbox. Is it over?


    in the last few weeks or so, my controllers seem to be completely disconnecting on its own. Ive checked the batteries, replaced them, stood closer, plugged my xbox into the wall (not a power cube). I tried a different controller and it had the same issue too. I even updated my controller software, but nothing has been fixed.

    I dont have a USB cable (or if i did i lost it many moons ago), but its wireless anyways so i dont think thats an issue??? ive had this xbox since summer 2015, and probably this controller since COVID times (i believe it is actually an Xbox series X controller).

    Is my xbox finally succumbing to its death bed? is there any other tricks I can do to try and stop this. Any help would be appreciated

    My (wired) Xbox controllers continuously disconnect.

    Thanks Derek,

    I have 2 controllers, both disconnect repeatedly.

    They don't show any sign of disconnecting when the error pops up. The light is still on. I've had to remove and replace the battery then turn the controller back on for the console to recognize it's there again. Even when I have the battery out entirely and plug the controller into the side USB port it still disconnects repeatedly.

    I tried plugging the controller into one of the rear USB ports last night, and it stopped disconnecting for the remainder of my session, though this could also have been due to my frustrated restart of the console. The problem is intermittent.

    I'll try resetting the console as per your instructions this weekend, and will follow up if the problem persists. Fingers crossed!

    Thanks

    If you've confirmed that the controller is working correctly on other Xbox consoles, the issue is likely related to your particular Xbox One. Here are some additional suggestions you could try to fix the problem on your Xbox:

    Update console firmware: Make sure your Xbox One has the latest firmware installed. You can do it by following these steps:
    Go to the console settings by selecting the gear icon on the home screen.
    Navigate to "System" and then select "Update & Security."
    Choose "Update Console" and follow the on-screen instructions to install any available updates.

    Reset the console's wireless connection:
    Go to console settings and select "Network."
    Choose "Network Settings" and then "Set up wireless network."
    Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your console's wireless connection.
    Reset the console to factory settings: Please note that this will erase all data and settings stored on the console. Before doing so, be sure to back up your important data. To reset to factory settings:
