My left thumbtack on my xbox one keeps drifting, what can I do?

Heya!

How old is your controller?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Ian, if you have a USB cable, try to follow the procedures bellow.

First remove the batteries from the controller and for 1 minute keep pressing all the buttons on the controller and moving the knobs.

After you're done, plug the USB cable controller into your console and turn it on.

Look for controller updates in the Xbox accessories part, if you have an update available, do it.

Then clear the cache on the console and check if the control has any updates to be made.

1. Go to the Xbox press and hold the XBOX power button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off

2. Wait 10 seconds until it turns off

3. Wait 1 minute with it off

4. Turn it back on

After the console restarts and I'm at the console start screen, put the batteries back in the controller, remove the USB cable and see if it back to normal.

so an updated firstly I did a wireless update and hoped in destiny 2 to like any place to move and so far the issue seems to be gone if it happens again there might be a internal issue with the stick if not the update helped fix it and I saved a lot of cash

I will try that but first I have to unplug my current external hard drive to do so as the base storage for the xbox is a bit small

I have two controllers BOTH with drift issues. The one left thumb-stick drifts upwards and the other one has a right thumb-stick drift issue that drifts upward.

Like what the heck am I suppose to do. #SMH
