    Console won't respond to controller after reconnecting it once it has been inactive


    Hey sorry if this has already been posted, but I did a bit of looking and didn't see anything. I also already posted it on the console section as I'm not sure which one is the problem.

    tl;dr Controller dc's when inactive, reconnect it, console doesn't seem to respond.

    So when a game is installing or there's an update, I tend to leave the room and let the Xbox One do it's thing, but then when I come back to my room and go to use it, I have to reconnect the controller as it's disconnected (which it should do seeing as I leave
    it inactive for a bit), so I reconnect it, the Xbox white light comes on on the controller, which I guess means it's connected but then the Xbox doesn't respond to me pressing any buttons.

    So I turn the controller on and off again yada yada, I plug in my play and charge kit, I press the sync buttons on the controller and console but nothing I do seems to work. I can't even reset the Xbox to get it to work. The only thing I can do is literally
    remove the power source from the Xbox and then restart it to get it to work. Sorry for this being a bit long and taking ages to get to the point, but is this my Xbox being faulty or something I'm not doing right when trying to reconnect my controller. This
    is the only time it happens, the controller never does this while using it.Also, the console is only a few days old as you could imagine.

    :)

    Xbox one won't respond to controller except for xbox button

    I can move between console off and controller off after pressing xbox button. But on the homepage i can't do anything. I tried reconnecting controller, turning off the console and on but it stayed the same. Finally I had to hold the xbox button on the console
    for 10 seconds to turn it off. Now it work and responds like before. Should I worry about this or was this just a weird occurrence? Thanks everyone!

    Controller disconnects

    That happens if your wireless controller has been inactive for at least 15 minutes. The Xbox One Wireless Controller is designed to turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. If that is not the case I suggest you to check this support link and check the "Your
    controller doesn't maintain connection to your console" section:

    support.xbox.com/.../wireless-controller-disconnects

    My Xbox series s controller won’t turn on my console

    Thank you for responding. I only have one controller it came out of the same box as the console, I’ve only been able to power the console on once with the controller every other time since I’ve had to press the button on the console. Once the console is on it recognizes the controller and works fine. But now it’s chirping and blinking while I have it powered down I don’t know if it has to do with me downloading games while it’s off.

    Xbox controller Elite series 2 disconnecting issues

    I doubt is the 5G interference when the the radio is 2.4G. I think it might be a combination of software and hardware issue. When I play before it disconnects the character in the game becomes unresponsive and then the console tells you the controller
    has been disconnected. The light on the power button stays on and it doesn't respond to no button presses until it reconnects on its own.

    My Controller Freezes

    My console isn't freezing. The screen has not frozen, my games will continue to play as if nothing has happened. It's just my controller will no longer reconnect until I turn off the console and leave it for a bit. When the controller freezes, the 1P light
    is still on with the xbox AND the controller, I just can't move or do a thing. It doesn't pause and say my controller has disconnected either. I can try reconnecting it, but it won't reconnect at all. I take the battery out of the controller, but the light
    just goes around in circles if I put the battery pack in and turn the controller on again. I press the sync button on the xbox and that syncs to the controller, but the controller doesn't sync to it. The light on the controller just keeps going around and
    around and I still can't use it.
