  1. Controller disconnects randomly during gameplay on Xbox Series X


    Hi everyone,

    I'm having an issue with my Xbox Series X where my wireless controller disconnects randomly during gameplay. It's really frustrating, especially during intense moments in the game. I've tried changing the batteries, but the problem persists. I even tried connecting it with a USB cable, and while it works for a bit, it'll still eventually disconnect.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem or know of any potential fixes? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Hi, Stef! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your controller connectivity. No worries, I'm happy to assist you with this today.

    Have you checked if your console needs an update too?

    Settings > System > Updates & downloads > Console update.

    Also please try clearing your cache:

    Press and hold the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off.

    Remove everything that is connected to the console

    Wait for 3 minutes then connect the Power cord and HDMI cable.

    Did you check your controller batteries too?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thank you!

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your controller being randomly disconnected from your Xbox Series X.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please check for Wireless Interference. Make sure that there are no other wireless devices nearby that might be causing interference. Move any other wireless devices away from your console or turn them off.

    And then power Cycle Your Console and Controllers. To do this please unplug your console and controllers from their power source, wait for a minute or two, and then plug them back in.

    Make sure your controller's firmware is up-to-date. Connect your controller to the Xbox with a USB cable, go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories > Firmware version > Update now.

    Next is to try a Different Controller. If you have access to another controller, try connecting it to your console to see if it experiences the same issue.

    If it doesn't, then the problem might be with the your controller.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Vanguard Controller issue ...

    Connecting the controller with a USB cable doesn't work,

    Controller still disconnects even with a USB cable connected,

    I have the same issue with Series X using mouse and keyboard for Call of Duty Vanguard.

    I played during the beta and there was no problems with the controller disconnecting but as soon as the game released, the controller disconnects,

    I've tried a Xbox One controller Series X controller, with batteries and a USB cable, and the controllers still disconnects.
