Controller turns off in a few minutes

Hi, I think i’m not the only person who has this problem, but when I let my controller down for a while in a game, it turns off, wich is pretty annoying. If anyone knows how to change this setting or talk to microsoft (not the virtual assistent) : /

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no setting to change the time until the controller turns off so it should be lasting 15 minutes before turning off. If it is turning off before 15 minutes you may need to check the batteries in your controller. If that isn't the
problem then there may be something broken in the controller. Using a wired controller is also an option as this wouldn't turn off.

Have you tried to update your controller?

hi, there doesn't seem to be a way to keep the controller on other than using a hairband or rubber band to keep one of the joysticks forward.

Okay. Turn off your console by holding your console's power button until the console turns off, remove the console's power cord and leave it for a few minutes.

Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller until it turns off, remove the batteries and leave it for a few minutes.

After about 3 minutes, just plug the power cord into your console, put the batteries back in your controller, and try connecting the console with your controller and see if that solves the problem
