    Controller on but not responding


    Similar issue to all the other complaints. Can sometimes play for an hour and then controller will become unresponsive. Sometimes less than a minute or not even in a game yet. Controller light stays on but controller keeps performing last action (if I was
    turning left, the game still operates and my player keeps going left). Happens with multiple different controllers. Will not go to home screen when i press xbox button. Can hold until it turns off or remove batteries, it will turn back on and seem to synch
    but still nothing happens.

    Performed soft reset

    Bought new controller

    Replaced Wifi board

    Replaced RF board

    Did all the things I could try on forums and YouTube

    This has been a problem for years and I dont play a ton but lately with nothing to do, its been evident that this is persistent and happened after an update some time ago. Help!!!

    :)

    Controller on but not responding

    Moved it last night far away from any other source. Played for an hour or so without issue. Played again this morning for an hour or so and then it just acted up again. Was in a game on a map scrolling places pressing up on the dpad and it just froze like
    i was holding it down, continuiusly scrolling. Removed batteries, pressed power button and it lit up solid but remained frozen.

    Hi, Derek. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    Please try the following steps one at a time to resolve the issue:



    Solution 1: Do a power cycle to clear the cache of the console



    1. Turn off the Xbox console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Plug the console power cable back in.

    4, Press the Xbox button on your console to turn on the Xbox console.

    Solution 2: Check for any pending game updates.



    Go to “My Apps & Games”, select Hogwarts Legacy, and press the more options button. From the list, select “Manage game & add-ons” and then “Updates”. Any updates will be available here.

    Solution 3: Uninstall and reinstall the game.



    Solution 4: Do a factory reset



    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.

    3. Select Reset console.

    4. Reset and keep my games & apps.

    Is there any other devices nearby that can cause an interference with the signal of the controller?
