Controller connects but will not work

BIGPLAY1824 · Jun 13, 2014

My xbox one controller connects to the xbox one (solid white xbox symbol on the controller) but does not work in conjunction with the system. The xbox one does not respond to buttons being pushed or joysticks being used. Very confused by this. Xbox still
responds to voice commands and hand gestures via kinect. Any help is greatly appreciated

Wireless controller does not connect to xbox 360 but wireless midia controller does

My wireless controller does not connect to xbox 360. I bought another and the 2nd wireless controller does not connect either. After attempting to connect all 4 green lights around the controller guide button flash and replacing the batteries did not help
either controller, all 4 green lights around the XBOX on/off button flash a bit but turn off after few seconds. I also have an xbox media controller that works with this xbox, all buttons on media controller function.

Try updating the controller's firmware,then re-sync the controller to the console.

I'm attempting to do that now by connecting the controller directly to the xbox using a USB cord but it continues to say that no controller is connected via USB. Very frustrating

I assume it is lit so try this mate

There is a small button on front of controller press and hold until light flashes release button

Now press button again the light should stay on showing it as been reconnected hope this helps

When you say they are connected the button on the controller is lit

This has happened to me as well, I got a xbox one 20th anniversary controller a few months ago. This is happening on this controller.

If I am in the party, I can hear them but, they can't hear me. Controls do nothing, according to my series X the controller is not disconnected. I can't do anything with it.

I pull the battery, use my other controller and everything is fine.

**** is going on here...

Try updating controller again and then do hard reset or vice versa
