    Controllers will not pair with console


    Have been using an Xbox on 500GB from day one and just brought another unit for my main lounge room for more space. I set it up as identical as I could to my 500GB version. I use the HD TV Tuner USB card for the Xbox, this is used for watching my live TV.
    I usually turn the console on with the Xbox remote as the kinnect will also turn TV on at the same time, and the unit jumps to the one guide and starts working as it should. The problem arises when I come to turn a controller on. They will not connect, I try
    and repair and nothing. It does this for all 4 controllers so it is isolated to more the console and not controller.

    The only way to correct issue is to turn console off, and turn on with the controller. Pressing button on Xbox to turn on wields the same results as the remote control turn on.

    There was an instant where when I first set up console, it was doing an update and kept saying something went wrong. After 2 restarts, it booted to the next stage of setup so I am not sure if this is related to anything, so I reset console to factory defaults
    and started again after getting these issues with remotes and has not resolved it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    I just received my replacement console. Controllers paired instantly with the new console and they work well.

    COD Cold War controller disconnecting

    Try updating the firmwares of both Controller and the Console. Then unpair the controller and again pair it by pressing the pair button on the controller and console.

    Controllers won't stay connected - Xbox Series X

    Updates:

    Paired both controllers to console at the same time. Both controllers lost and regain sync at the same time.

    Paired Elite controller to iPhone. No disconnects.

    Paired one controller to console and other to phone. Controller connected to console disconnected, controller connected to iPhone stayed connected.

    My Xbox one S wont connect to any controllers.

    Hello KMS10112! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

    Have you tried to pair your controllers to a different Bluetooth device and then pair the controller to your console again? Maybe try to do that, and then check if the console is now controllable with your newly paired controllers.

    Controller is paired, but console is unresponsive to it.

    You're welcome! I was ready to ship my whole unit back to Microsoft. I'm happy it worked!

    Controller is paired, but console is unresponsive to it.

    I'm so glad this thread is here, you saved me lol. I just bought the Astro A40's and applied the firmware update (after tons of struggle) then my controller did the same thing. Thanks for the info!
