    Home button on controller and keyboard on Xbox One not working


    The home buttons on both of my controllers aren't working, not even when I hold it to shut my console off. Also the keyboard on my One freezes up my console every time I try to use it, and I have to restart my Xbox every time.
    Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks

    :)

    xbox controller home button issue wont resolve

    OK strange new development/observation

    it appears if i plug the controller into the xbox via usb, than still the home button doesn't work, HOWEVER if i remove the batteries making the controller dependent on the xbox for power then the HOME BUTTON WORKS IMMEDIATELY! while plugged into the xbox
    with a working home button if i put the batteries back into the controller, without hitting anything, the home button stops working again.

    and remember the controller will turn the xbox on via home button even while not connected by USB...

    what in the world is up with this controller?!

    Home button on controller and keyboard on Xbox One not working

    Have you tried doing a hard reset on your console? Hold the power button on the console for 10 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord back in and restart
    the console. Once it is back up and operational test for results. Let us know. Good Luck!

    I'll try that. Does hard resetting cause you to lose anything?

    Xbox one not able to run anything

    Hey they issue could be with the remote its self. if you have a keyboard for a pc you can see if this is to do with the xbox by plugging they keyboard into one of the usb slots and using the arrow keys to navigate, windows as the home button and enter
    as the a button. esc is your back key. this will help to get to your device settings once there look for your controller and then see if you can make it vibrate three times if that works open a game and test each button if it still doesnt work try restarting
    the controller or resyncing it to the xbox if that still doesnt work the controller could be damaged. By shaking the controller gently you can hear if there are loose parts. Another way to test if the controller is damaged is to use either a desktop pc or
    another xbox to use the controller. on a desktop pc plug a micro usb cable into your controller and the other end into a usb slot on a pc/laptop/notebook open a installed game or download a free one of the store and test the malfunctioning buttons if they
    dont work then the remote is unfunctional.

    HELP

    The problem is that the onscreen keyboard or virtual keyboard will not appear whenever I try to search, enter passwords, or text the virtual keyboard never appears the cursor flashes a few times then stops the controller is completely unresponsive the only responsive button on the controller is the home button in the center of the controller which pulls up an onscreen menu that I still can't navigate because no other buttons on the controller are responsive but like I previously said this is only temporary but as soon as I need to pull up the virtual keyboard it happens all over again my virtual keyboard will not appear onscreen
