My left joystick is in an infinite command loop or something

Okay I see, I would recommend requesting a replacement

I know that can be inconvenient but from what it seems your controller is faulty, and it is the only option that Microsoft offers.

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

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

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

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

if the issue persists proceed to check your current controller button settings:

1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

2. Under Profile & system, select Settings.

3. Under Devices & connections, select Accessories.

4. On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select Configure.

5. 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.

If you have any trouble following any steps or the issue persists let me know!

No external storage, no. I tried the update a few more time, maybe it was a server error or something, but no succes. Xbox still in infinite loop.

Hi Josef, thank you for the reply, after looking at the guides i realized i had thought it was sticky buttons but it is something else.



My buttons and joysticks return to their normal place normally. But the controller acts as though the left joystick is still pushed or pulled even though it returns to it's position after release, and makes my character move forward even though it shouldn't.

Again though, if there is a fix please tell, as I have tried the troubleshooting methods and virtual assistant from the support page and they didn't work.

Just to make sure that I said I described it correctly, the buttons and joysticks return normally, but the command inputted into the left joystick continues for 10 seconds.

I am considering getting a new controller but would rather see it fixed. Furthermore, if you know what this is called and how to prevent this, please do tell. Again thank you for the reply and sorry for the confusion

Stuck in a damn infinite loop
