i can not see my texts cus the search bar is in my way

Hi, I'm Miguel, community expert, I may not be an employee of Xbox, but I see you need some help, I'm Happy to help you.

Reading more detail about this issue I saw that the best recommendation that Xbox recommend are following these steps by the level of issues.

1. First Recommendation

Power Recycle the controller

Many controller issues can be resolved by putting the controller through a complete power cycle. To power cycle your controller:

Press and hold the Xbox button  for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off.

Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the Xbox button  again to turn the controller back on.

2. Update Controller Drivers

f your controller connects when using a USB cable but doesn't stay connected after removing the cable, reconnect the cable and see if there’s an update available for your controller:

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

Under Profile & system, select Settings.

Under Devices & connections, select Accessories.

On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller.

If it says there’s no update available, your controller is current. If it says “Update,” follow the steps provided.

Once your controller is updated, disconnect the USB cable and try connecting wirelessly again.

3.Check your controller button mapping settings

If you’re seeing unexpected controller behavior across all game and apps, it could mean that your controller button configuration has been remapped. To check your current controller button settings:

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

Under Profile & system, select Settings.

Under Devices & connections, select Accessories.

On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select Configure.

Carefully review the current mapping for each of the buttons on your controller. You can also select Restore to default to set the controller back to its original button mapping.

4. Update last version of Windows

If you’re experiencing no button input in games when using the Xbox Wireless Controller (the one packaged with Xbox Series X|S consoles) with a Bluetooth connection to a Windows device, first make sure that you have the latest Windows update. You can find available Windows updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates. You may need to select View optional updates to find the update.

Once you've installed the latest update, you also need to check for additional controller firmware updates using the Xbox Accessories app.

Hi Zander,

Is this something you're still experiencing? If so, can you see the search bar and it's not working, or can you not even see the search bar?

Hi Gethsemane,

Is this something you're still experiencing? If so, can you see the search bar and it's not working, or can you not even see the search bar?

Wikkiwild1 do you get a tray covering your youtube search bar too when you do your second search in youtube on explorer app? Reason i'm asking is because my live gold was up Nov.30 so i can't check if they left it that way since the update. I'd feel better
about getting a 12 month Live Gold card if i knew they were gonna stop Trying to block us.

.

Timekill X is there a button on chat pad that makes your cursor click in the youtube search bar, because if they make that tray any bigger on the next update, when they notice zooming can still get us in the search bar, there would be no way to click into
it to start typing. (or does the typing in youtube search bar just start as soon as you type a letter, without having to click in the search bar 1st with cursor?)

Whenever I try to disconnect or search again, it just stays there, with no bars. Is there a way I can delete it?
