  1. Controllers connected but not working


    Both controllers are powered, one by fresh batteries, the other by the plug and play setup

    Both are connected to the xbox

    Neither one work, and the one connected to the xbox via usb won't update either, even when using kinect to actvate the update while it is plugged in

    Tried replacing batteries, switching the pnp pack, and turning on and off

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    :)

    Controllers on and connected but not working

    I have turned off my controllers, turned off my console, turned the console on then turned my controllers on. Both controllers are connected and on but I can do anything with them. It doesn't matter what button I press, nothing happens.

    I can navigate the menu's with the Kinect voice control, so the Xbox One isn't crashing or anything. Any idea as to what I can do?

    There is a small button on front of controller press and hold until light flashes release button

    Controller connected but not working

    This has happened to me as well, I got a xbox one 20th anniversary controller a few months ago. This is happening on this controller.

    If I am in the party, I can hear them but, they can't hear me. Controls do nothing, according to my series X the controller is not disconnected. I can't do anything with it.

    I pull the battery, use my other controller and everything is fine.

    **** is going on here...
