    Controller issues recently


    For the past 2 weeks I have been unable to play my Xbox due to controller issues. Periodically, the controller will disconnect itself and log me out of Xbox live after somewhere between 5-15 minutes of play time. This has happened on both multiplayer games
    (NBA2k18, Marvel Heroes Omega) and single player (Turing Test). Initially, playing with the controller plugged in via USB cable worked but was a nuisance, but the past few days even hardwired connections have been causing problems.

    I have power cycled the console multiple times, made sure the power brick is plugged directly into the wall, checked for controller updates on both controllers, and nothing has helped. I've had this Xbox console for 3 years without issue, and for both controllers
    to simultaneously stop functioning would seem to be a software issue with a recent update. There are no new wireless devices near my console that could be interfering with the signal, not that it would matter in the hardwired cases anyway.

    I have seen multiple posts with similar issues lately and no response from Xbox support. I'd love any advice on how to fix this, so I know whether to spend money on Black Friday game deals or switch to a PS4 before the holidays.

    :)

    Anybody else going through controllers?

    Nope.

    My Day 1 controller served me well up until recently when I decided to get the Halo 5 Master Chief controller. No issues to report.

    Controller Build Quality

    I have not had any issues with my day one controller but recently I decided to upgrade to the Elite Controller and the build quality of this controller is great but I think it's a little overpriced.

    Hi, it may be a hardware issue, more than likely the hard drive. Have you tried pressing and holding the power button on the Xbox for ten seconds when the Xbox is powered on, when the Xbox powers off pull the power cord out of the Xbox and leave it out
    for a couple of minutes, reconnect the power cord and power the Xbox on again using the power button on the Xbox.

    Hi Mrsigg,

    Thanks for letting us know it worked. I will go ahead and lock this thread as it has been resolved. Please feel free to come back to the forums if you have any other issues, questions, or just want to create a discussion to talk to fellow gamers.



    Thanks,

    Brad

    Hi,

    as this appears to be a hardware issue, Contact the support at support.microsoft.com and they will arrange a hardware swap. It works quite fast and you get a new console quickly.

    Best,

    Daniel
