How to turn off the controller

Hi i have a question about how you can turn off the Xbox one controller there seems to be four ways to turn it off one is from the menu screen two take out the batteries three wait until it turns off during inactivity four or press and hold the guide button
for up to 6 seconds till it turns off the menu screen will also pop up during this process and some other people double tap and hold the guide button for up to 6 seconds till it turns off but this time the menu screen does not pop up which is odd and I'm not
sure if this is an official way or feature to turn off the controller other than the menu screen?

I just go into the menu and select turn off controller it's the easiest option to use.

What about pressing and holding the guide button for 6 seconds till it turns the controller off is it possible that's a glitch?

I press and hold the home button until i get the options of switching off console, controller, restarting console etc. I find it the best way of turning the controller off.

Is there a specific way you are attempting to turn off your controller because the easiest way that I have found is holding the Xbox button on my controller and pressing the turn off controller button.

I do use the same menu and turn off the controller from there but weren't you all unaware of that feature of pressing and holding the guide button for 5 6 or 10 seconds till the controller turns off existed or can anyone tell me if this is a glitch or
a hack i doubt it's both because when you press and hold the guide button for 5 or 6 seconds till the controller turns off is like when you power cycle the console when you hold the power button for 10 seconds
