    Every time I try to add a controller it turns the other one off instead of having 2 players. Am I doing something wrong? I try the start or options button but doesn't do anything. How do I get both controllers to stay on to play multi player?

    :)

    Yeah it's the most annoying glitch. A fix needs to arrive ASAP.

    If you have 2 controllers, turn one off and plug headset into the other one. (Fixes the issue every time and no need to reset).

    Hi Michael Bookhardt



    Thanks for reporting this issue in Microsoft Answers.



    I understand that you are having trouble with your Xbox controller not connecting properly, and I understand your confusion.

    You can try the following steps to resolve the issue you're experiencing:

    1. Re-pair both controllers with your Xbox console.
    2. Try connecting the controllers to the console using a USB cable.
    3. Connect the controllers to a computer, use the Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware, recalibrate, and add new profiles.
    I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and allow you to enjoy multiplayer gaming smoothly!



    We look forward to hearing back from you.

    Controller connection problems

    I had this problem before but I got it working after a while. Try turning off your console and turning it back on. Then, press the 2 sync buttons, one is on the controller and one is on the console itself, at the same time. If that don't work, turn off the
    console again and turn it back on and try to press each sync button in a different combination. Hope this fixes your controller problem.

    Xbox One X randomly turning off

    I have had the same issue. Every time i try to load a game it starts the splash screen and then it turns off. and so much that i cannot use the controller to turn in back on.

    Xbox live gold Charged automatically

    To avoid this in the future every time you add time to Xbox live it will automatically turn on recurring billing, every time. I just go in and turn it off when I add time to Xbox live.
