How do i fix my Xbox one Controller significantly deceasing my fps the longer i have it...

Hi GlovenRTX, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, on your computer start bar, search for "Services.msc" and open it.

Scroll down to the bottom of the list and right-click the "Xbox Accessory Management Service"

Select Properties > On this window, change the initialization/startup type to Automatic.

Click OK and restart your computer.

Let me know if it works!

Hi Rodrigo, thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately my controller is no longer under warranty. I did notice there was an option to replace it for significantly cheaper, which is nice, but I'd like to see if there's something I can do to fix it before spending more money on an already expensive controller.

Hi PaulBartlett6

Have you run the steps in Update xbox wireless controller? All controllers you use need to run the firmware update.

I prefer the usb method.

I recently got a notification that a controller update was required.

Huh. I'm happy to say I found a workaround myself. Here's an example of how to fix this for Trials Fusion, which is notorious for exhibiting this issue. It seems when games use the default microsoft driver/configuration, on a bluetooth-connected xbox one
controller, there is major FPS lag. This can be tested by holding the controller behind your back and seeing the FPS drop significantly. However, using Steam's driver/config and adding the game as a non-steam product allows it to work. Bizarre.

The fix:

1. Install Steam

2. Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings

3. Check "xbox configuration support"

4. Games > Add a non-steam game to my library

5. Click Browse

5. Browse to your UPlay folder and select the Trials Fusion executable

6. Run the game from within Steam. Hold the controller behind your back. It runs at a solid framerate!

Hey Microsoft - could you please fix this issue natively? And not just leave us out in the cold to fend for ourselves?

The controller that I got with my console was absolute junk. The fit and finish was horrible and it whistled when in vibrated. My "fix" was to sell it to Gamestop for credit lol.

With that being said, I've bought two "limited edition" controllers (TitanFall and CoD AW) and I believe them to be of significantly better quality. It is as if those controllers are/were manufactured somewhere else (as compared the standard black controller).


My suggestion to you is that if you find yourself in the position to have to purchase another one do not by a standard black controller but instead pick up one of the "limited" ones. There have been 4 released to date.
