Controller wont stay on. It will work if i hold the power button

Did not work , and its weird it happened all of a sudden. When I start playing I turn on controller but console does not turn on so I manually press power button on console and when I am done and hold down power button on controller and click shut down
console the controller stays on and i have to hold power button for on 5 seconds on controller to shut down controller. Not a major issue more of an annoyance that I wish it just worked.

My problem is similar to brydog23

my controller works fine until it disconnects, be it i disconnected it or it stayed idle for 15 minutes, after that i hold the xbox button and the controller shows its connected, however no buttons work, not even if another controller was connected, the
Kinect works fine however to reconnect the controller i have to power-cycle the console every-time.

It's because your controller is still on, i ran into this problem myself when trying to fully shutdown the console on a night, when you hold the power button to shut it down for some reason the controller stays on which then boots the console back up. To
sort this first turn off your controller first then hold the power button down, the controller then won't boot it back up.

Hey there Shermas.

Let's have you start out by resetting your display by powering off your Xbox One completely (hold power button for 8-10 seconds until it shuts off completely). Once your Xbox One is off, hold down the power and eject button until you hear a second beep.

I tried this and nothing happened.. Does it matter that my system isn't sending a video signal anymore? The white power button lights up, but the HDMI input source is now staying dark.

Ok you are supposes to hold the bind button and the eject button at the same time. The bind button is below the power button. It worked once, but would not reset to factory defaults and now wont reset again.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your post, if the controller is staying on after the console is powering off, try hard resetting the console with these steps:

1. Hold the power button on the console for 10 seconds (while it is on)
2. Release the power button after 10 seconds
3. Press the power button as normal to turn the Xbox back on
4. Attempt to power the console off as normal to check if the controller continues this issue

Normally if a controller stays on after the console is powered off the controller will time-out and turn off on its own, so it should not cause any harm.

I hope this information helps, thanks again.
