    Controller unresponsive if Xbox is turned on via Kinect


    As the title states: if I turn on my Xbox via "Xbox on" kinect command, it powers up just fine. When I turn on my controller, I receive a solid light, but the controller doesn't respond to anything. My only solution is to kinect "Xbox turn off" or physically
    turn it off, then restart the console with the controller, or the xbox power button. Software/controller is all updated, and I can't figure out why this happens. I've grown accustomed to turning my Xbox on via kinect, and it's very frustrating having to restart
    it everyone I turn it on!

    :)

    Controller won't sync, help!!

    I think I have found the answer to your problem. I honestly thought it wouldn't work, but this did perfectly for me. Hopefully this will work for you and everyone who's having this problem.

    1. Plug in your controller to your Xbox One via cable.

    2. As the controller is turned on, hold the Xbox button and turn the controller off, not the console.

    3. Have your Kinect plugged in and turned on and face it to your controller.

    4. Turn on your controller and hold the controller sync button.

    This should work for you as it worked for me. If not, try it this way with an added step:

    1. Plug in your controller to your Xbox One via cable.

    2. As the controller is turned on, hold the Xbox button and turn the controller off, not the console.

    3. Have your Kinect plugged in and turned on and face it to your controller.

    4. Press the sync button on the left-side of your Xbox One console.

    5. Turn on your controller and hold the controller sync button, facing the controller towards your system and Kinect.

    Don't Accept Mandatory Kinect!

    I've been trying to find a reason why it can't be turned off. not much info but:-

    Kinect can detect when the controller is passed to another person MS said, infra red I think. It's possible that even when the features of kinect are turned off it still has some link to the controller. maybe the controller actually syncs via kinect, and
    needs to be plugged in for controller to work. even when the kinect features are turned off. It would explain a lot.

    Controller Stuck ON, Controller Does Not Respond to Button Presses, XBOX One Not Playing Game

    My controller was unresponsive, as well as voice commands. I unplugged the power supply while on the dashboard and plugged it back in. Turn on my system and the controller and kinect are responsive again.

    Xbox one strange controller issue

    I tried this several times but it only fixes it temporarily. It soon goes back to not turning the controller off when shutting down and then being unable to power on the system with the controller. Kinect is as unresponsive as ever.

    Cortana on Xbox One

    I turned it off right away. I hated how unresponsive it is. I went back to the old style voice commands via kinect instead. Shame too, I was super excited for Cortana but it turned out to be slow and buggy.
