If you’re having trouble with one of your Xbox One wireless controllers, this solution can help you troubleshoot a wide variety of controller issues. It can also help you replace a broken controller if none of these solutions correct the problem: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/controllers/wireless-controller-solution

You have newest update for your gamepad?

You have batteries in gamepad try change it for new battery or recharge.

Hey there Alan104ye,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community for advice on what to do when this kind of thing happens to your controller.

I can totally understand how your console updating to a controller lag such as this could be confusing.

I would recommend that if the steps previously posted did not resolve the problem then you might want to try performing a soft reset if possible. It's a less invasive method of resetting your console that
does not uninstall any of your games or apps. Just make sure that you know all the sign-in info for any gamertag you have on the console that is important to you, and that you have easy internet access so that it goes smoothly.

When you get the chance, try that by following the steps outlined in our How to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One
and selecting the option denoted as Reset and keep my games & apps.

Hope this info helps, let us know.

Thanks for reading!

Hi there welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Unfortunately, we are not Microsoft employees we are gamers just like you, I totally understand the frustration, my elite series 2 started malfunctioning after 1 month of use, had it replaced with the warranty, seeing that this is no option for you I could suggest using compressed air (it has different names on different parts of the world) it's electronic friendly and has heloed me with my joystick issues!

Do you know Compressed Air can fix a joystick that tracks wrong. Like I mentioned my joystick tracks when I push up-left it somehow track down-left. I also have one that when I push down, then push up it tracks a slow deadzone and I just tip-toe in-game ruining my fps experience. I don't have a problem with my joystick drift I wouldn't say. I have a problem with the joystick tracking the right movement.

I have this problem with both of my xbox one wireless controllers, particularly the left joystick and one also has a problem with the right joystick. The thing is, I hardly ever play games on my xbox one. I thought I was just crappy at all the games until
I started to fill out forms using the controller and would do left joystick and watch the highlighted letter on the alphabet screen light up once to the left and then quickly go back or down.

The joysticks are a mess and M$ has no way to report the problem or get it fixed, as far as I've been able to do. You go to the repair page, enter "controller joystick malfunction" and it gives me 2 options: 1. test console network connectivity or 2. send
in the kinect module for replacement.

WTF? FU M$.
