After updating the latest system, my Elite 2 controller also experienced disconnection...

Yes, just received my new X Box One and am having the EXACT same issue. This turkey will only and will ONLY connect to the controller AFTER a HARD RESET.

It will connect with a cable but disconnects when cable is disconnected.

I have tried with two(2) remote connected and it occurs with BOTH.

I have the latest updates on both the system and controller

...so what is being done to fix this.

I was also wanting to start the system with the remote controller like the 360 and this is or is not an option?? I will also let support know.

Strange indeed Microsoft...fit it.

I also am experiencing this issue after purchasing the Halo Elite Series 2 controller, unable to use it in bluetooth as the A button toggles the xbox game bar and there isn't a prompt to update the firmware on xbox accessories app.

When I plug in the controller with a cable it works, but stops immediately after disconnecting the controller. Tried with non-elite controller and it does the same thing so it's a problem with the console.

Both controllers have updated firmware to the latest version. It's not a controller issue, it's the console. This problem was not there before the update on the 12th, it's a new problem. Restarting the console or powering off and then back on fixes the
problem but when the system goes into sleep and comes back from it, the problem is still there.

I can reproduce the problem by turning off my console (by holding down the Xbox button on the controller) which puts it into sleep, and then turning it back on, then none of my controllers will sync.

My elite 2 when connected to PC via bluetooth loses connection and I am also experiencing sudden frame rate drops which I do not see when playing it with wired or keyboard or mouse. I did not had any issues with Elite 1 which connected via a usb
dongle. I updated the controller and the bluetooth feature is broken. Anyone got it to work on PC via bluetooth without any issues?

exactly the same issue here, have no problem with using my xbox one s controller on PC, but lots of disconnections and frame rate drops with elite 2

To be very, very clear, the problem is that the newest firmware updates to Xbox elite 2 controller has broken the functionality of the paddles. As of the latest firmware, the paddles are completely disabled when in default profile. The paddles used to work in default mode, and now they don't. Steam can corroborate this: last year Steam added functionality to customize the outputs of the elite controllers paddles, which means that the paddles used to output a unique signal instead on only emulating other controller buttons.

A quick internet search reveals numerous accounts from users who had used steam to customize the paddle outputs, proving that the paddles used to work. You can also see a growing number of recent complaints from Elite controller users who are realizing that their paddle inputs are now broken. This is not an isolated occurrence, the elite controller was broken by the latest firmware updates, and people are realizing it.

The changes made to the Xbox elite 2 Controller paddles in the latest firmware updates NEED TO BE REVERTED.
