    Controller works in games not on dashboard


    I was playing Call of Duty Vanguard when my game freezes and crashes. Then my contoller buttons stopped working on the dashboard. So i need to use mouse and keyboard to navigate the dashboard, but playing any games the contoller works.

    :)

    Problem with quick resume and MGS V

    Same issue. The controller still works, as you press the Xbox button on the controller to get back to the dashboard, but you can’t control anything within the game.

    So it’s not a problem with a controller, the game has a bug.

    Controller won't sync, help!!

    hi everyone, see a few posts with no answers to the controller sync problems and games dropping back to the dashboard, simple fix, power up the console, wait for the dashboard to load, unplug controller, and then unplug the xbox power lead from the wall,
    plug controller back in, the xbox should load up and BOOM!! your controller is working and so are your games :)

    Controller lag?

    Yes! This worked and there is no lag at all on the dashboard. The second controller works great in game as well. Thank you!! Is this something to do periodically?
