    How do I reconnect controller to series X remote play instance on PC when turned off via...


    Used Home Button to "Turn Off Controller" in remote play, but Controller was connected to PC. So this disconnected the controller from the Xbox and not the PC. Now, when controller is connected to PC, the remote play session Xbox Series X does not detect controller. I've covered all available troubleshooting steps.

    Where I'd imagine the "break" is, is when I errantly attempted to turn off the controller (connected to PC via Bluetooth) by holding down the center X "home" button, pulling up the Series X UI controller menu. When I selected "Turn off controller", the series X was sending the farewell message to the "controller" which is essentially the Xbox PC app. So, the series X turned off the "app controller", not the actual controller which is still linked to the PC. So now, the xbox app doesn't care that this message was sent through from the series x and is not sending anything to the series x saying that the controller is turning back on.

    Ok, that's the gist of the problem. About to reinstall the app as a final troubleshooting step. Any advice (deeper than "take your batteries out" or " just connect your controller directly to the xbox".... this is more like an API issue) would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Remote play

    Hi, thanks for the response

    I have a an Xbox series X.

    I can use remote play on my iphone fine the first time I connect remotely, games play no problem over mobile internet, I have a dedicated controlller set up for remote play

    But when I have finished that session and disconnect, the next time I try to connect it says it cannot connect. Only a hard reset will allow reconnection after that.

    I tried this once when someone was at home and I was remote and a hard reset allowed me to reconnect straight away, but it then reverted back to not reconnecting.

    I am wondering if it’s the way i am disconnecting that might be the issue or something.

    Currently I exit game to Home Screen, hold down xbox button on controller and then select turn off console, should just revert console to should mode? Not sure how else I should disconnect or how I can reset the console remotely.

    Xbox series controller turns on XBOX automatically after I disconnect from PC USB

    good work around but i am still surprised the controller is not turning off when holding the xbox button, as all my controller do and they are a mix of xbox one controllers and series controllers. regardless if connected via wireless or usb to the pc.

    Xbox series x controller disconnecting (latest firmware)

    I have the Robot White X Series controller, with all firmware updates. I use it on my PC via blutooth. I continue to have this issue as well as long as vibration is enabled. Try turning off vibration (we shouldnt have to) to stop the controller from disconnecting. But when will we have a REAL RESOLUTION MICROSOFT?!?!?!!?

    PC to XSX Remote Play - console turns on, only see a black screen, disconnects 1 min later

    Then remote.play wont work

    Remote play ala xcloud is only available on gamepass ultimate

    Game.streaming.via.the xbox companion app requires a xbox

    Keep in mind you can't.use.the.xbox while you are.using.the wireless gamestreaming
    Huh? Remote Play is nothing to do with Xcloud or Game Pass. And if it won't work, then how can they get it working on their Android device? And they have an Xbox so that's not the issue.

    They are trying to Remote Play their Series X games from their Series X console to their PC via the Remote Play feature and using the Xbox App. This should work without an issue, as it does with their Android device. There is nothing on the Remote Play page to suggest Game Pass is needed

    XBOX Series X remote play only works when connected TV is turned on.

    Hello Samy.

    I'm using Inside build. I was in delta.

    but my current firmware version is 10.0.22000.2285 . I believe this version is same version with official latest firmware version.

    I followed your instruction. cleared my MAC address but no luck.

    and for your information, as I said remote play works with android or iphone.

    but PC xbox app remote play is not working when my tv is turned off.

    if I turn on my tv first, then connect my xbox series x on my PC then it works perfectly.

    but then , if I turn off my tv, then network connection become very unstable (stuttering insanely)

    and become disconnected in about one minute.

    I tried unplug hdmi cable while remote playing(not turn off tv) . and it behaves same way

    and again, none of this issues occur in iphone or android phone xbox app. no matter tv is turned on or off.
