    Controller disconnected - press A


    Hello. I'm totally new to games consoles. Set up this racing game last night and it seemed to work fine. This morning, even though the controller is definitely connected and moving about the screen etc, it says 'controller disconnected, press A to continue'.
    Pressing A just takes me to the user name, then the only thing I can do is press A again which starts the cycle again.

    What am I doing wrong?

    :)

    the day one edition controller's d-pad is making springy noises

    yes! I have a day one controller and pressing right on the d-pad makes a kind of "twang" sound every 2nd or third press... definitely made me think this controller was badly put together.

    I'm also having major issues keeping the wireless controllers connected. I've had to resort to using a USB cable as I was getting a "you controller disconnected" message every couple of minutes in Forza.

    Controller disconnected - press A

    Hi!

    Check that the controller is
    updated     to the latest version. Then, try again to
    match     the controller with the console by pressing the connect buttons.

    Thanks for replying. I ended up turning it off and on at the plug, and it's fine now. I didn't understand why the controller was able to navigate everything else. Hopefully a one-off...

    Headset range

    Nothing works fine until the headset disconnects. Then the controller also disconnects and then I have to reconnect by pressing the button on the x box

    Xbox one console!

    To clarify, are you saying your controller disconnects or that some button presses on your controller don't register with the console? Thanks.

    My Controller Disconnects After Pressing A

    Hi there,

    You could play a couple games of Fortnite via USB, see if it still happens. You can also check and make sure the controller has the latest firmware too, here's a LINK
    detailing that. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Maybe a soft factory reset is worth a shot too, here's a LINK detailing
    that procedure also.
