  1. Hi what is the issue with the controllers disconnecting every 5 seconds


    I have a brand new controller and it still happens with that the controller with the series x same with that I've not even used that one yet I can't enjoy a simple game after just spending almost 500 pound and I can not enjoy a game because of the controllers always disconnecting on me. Before you say try this or try that I have tried everything people have said to try why don't you just sort out the cause of the issue.

    Hi what is the issue with the controllers disconnecting every 5 seconds

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

    Just a friendly reminder that this is a public forum and those of us who participate in it are ordinary gamers, I am not part of Microsoft support. My only mission is to assist and guide the community a little bit.

    Did you notice this issue starting to occur after the last firmware update?

    Microsoft is aware that the controllers have firmware issues and are already working on a solution, here you can see the announcement and a possible workaround.

    Disconnect every 5 seconds

    most likely a router issue , if your wireless , try it wired ....or visa-versa.......what is the brand and model of your modem and router ?

    Wi-fi and controller disconnecting constantly

    Update: Same issue today, decided to stay offline today, disconnected from my wi-fi, turned off online mode, controller does not disconnect but 'freezes' every few minutes or so from 10-30 seconds with whatever the current button input was. Not sure if it's
    related to the wi-fi/controller disconnect issue.

    XBOX one controller won't connect. I've tried everything.

    Because the NXE Update? I have also the Halo 5 Xbox One and the issue with random disconnects starts after the NXE Update on Nov 12. My old controller is working, my new halo controller isn't (disconnected every 30-45 min)

    Controller issues

    Hello - My controller has this odd issue with it, for whatever reason, it briefly disconnects for like half a second-5 seconds, and instantly re-connects to my console. This happens on it's own every second-5 seconds or so, and it used to do this
    on and off, but recently it has been doing it non-stop since June 7th. I've tried purchasing a new controller, plugging it in to my console, swapping the batteries, reconnecting it to my console, checking if it is updated, yet nothing has worked. Is there
    any fix to this? Thanks
    I have the same problem think its a software problem as it started after an update
