Help with connecting my controller in the app for streaming my game in my phone

My bedroom is my gaming space so it's pretty basic, but I don't need fancy to enjoy my passion. Even streaming hasn't gotten too complex. I just use the mixer app on my phone while I stream to connect with my viewers.

I have the exact same problem. Use to stream on my phone with connected controller all the time but now controller won't work except pressing B button to stop streaming.

Have you used the controller with anything else? E.g. laptop/PC, mobile phone? It could be trying to connect to another device. Mine did this sometimes. It tried to connect to my mobile phone for streaming play. I use a different one for Xbox now as the
GoW controller is the only one I have that is Bluetooth, so I keep that for my phone.

I also have the gmote app that allows my phone to control my pc using the same network. Now this app will no longer work, it can't find my network. This must have something to do with the connection between my phone and my network. I don't know what the
issue might be, my phone is connected to my wifi.

I am also experiencing Xbox App crash every 30 seconds. My Xbox is connected, I can play a game on my Windows PC, but the app crashes every 30 seconds, I have to keep clicking "Stream" and it's annoying. Then it refers me to "Test" my Streaming connection
and the App says it cant connect to my Xbox, when in fact, I hear my game music playing in the background in the App. Which can't be right.

I have streamed to my Windows PC since the App Launch and never had connection problems.

System and App are both up to date.
