    Controller desynced and won't reconnect


    Started having a little trouble this afternoon. Controller turned off by itself after a little time inactive while watching a video on the YouTube app, which isn't unusual. When I went to turn it back on, the jewel button just flashes as if it is searching
    for the console, and going through the usual sync process hasn't corrected the matter. I tried plugging it in with a USB cable and while it stops the flashing jewel button, the console doesn't recognise any input. I did briefly see a popup saying the controller
    needed an update, but that failed during a very brief window where it was working while plugged in.

    I've removed the battery pack I'm using, tried swapping it with a fully charged one, and just leaving that space empty and that hasn't changed anything either.

    Is there anything else I can do?

    :)

  2. Controller won't reconnect

    so I got the Xbox one controller with the oculus rift and whenever the controller turns off after being inactive for some time, when I try to reconnect it to the computer, it connects for a second and then disconnects, and I have to close the oculus program
    or sometimes restart the computer for it to reconnect, I've read on other forums that it needs an update but it says it's up to date.

    What do I need to do to fix this?

    Another forum had said its a hardware issue and needs to be replaced.

  3. Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    This happens to me as well, but usually when I accidentally disconnect the headset. If I try to plug it back in, I can't talk/hear anything though the headset until I restart my Xbox. I've noticed that this ONLY happens on my Halo 3 controller, and not my
    11 others, so it's a controller problem and has nothing to do with the console or the headset.

    Not sure how much that helps.

  4. Controller desynced and won't reconnect

    Hey there Deanston,

    What happens if you try a fresh set of AA Batteries as opposed to rechargeable ones. Or try connecting the controller to the console via USB cable?

    Controller Vibration

    Try desyncing that controller, restart the console and sync the controller again.

    Dualsense completely disappears off bluetooth after a few seconds

    You still need the Bluetooth drivers

    Controllers will desync if you don't load the drivers

    That is normal behaviour for controllers if they don't sync and run thr drivers you are going to desync

    Even on comsoles

    Hats why you need the steam or ds4win
