  1. My Xbox acts like A is being pressed even when no controller is connected.


    My xbox is acting like the A button is being held down. I have tried 3 different controllers and the problem persists even when no controller is connected. It also only happens in certain menus. This happens in the settings menu and when selecting a game in "my games and apps". It doesn't do it on the home screen. Connecting using a cord doesn't change anything.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    I have here steps that we can try, please perform a power cycle on your console by following the steps below:

    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    ​​​

    "1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​"

    If that didn't work resetting the console keeping games and apps will be the next option. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

    "Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

    Select Reset console.

    Reset and keep my games & apps."

    Cannot Sync Xbox 360 Controllers

    They are all different brands of wireless controllers. Microsoft to Amazon. NONE will connect. Yes the steps are followed perfectly and variants of the steps.

    Press the ON X button. Flashes in a circle. Press the Xbox Connect. It too flashes. Press the small controller sync. Flashes slow down. After less than 1 minute the Xbox stops flashing. Then the controller stops flashing.

    Only the one controller that came with it used connects. No other will. Even when I unpair, turn off, and reset the xbox. It will see NO controllers except the when I turn on the one it likes. One and that is it.

    These other controllers have NO issues with my PC or Xbox 1. Just the 360.

    Xbox remote play with touch controls like cloud gaming

    It was an idea for the Xbox app. The touch screen controls will act like a button in an Xbox controller when you connect it to Bluetooth while playing remote with your own Xbox.

    Error 105

    Hello, did you find any solution to this ? Because my son is having the same problem now.
    My problem started when my system was acting like the left trigger was always being pressed, no issues with games but apps and the OS was acting up. After trying controller update and then system update I tried the reset option to keep my games and apps
    that's when it hit me. tech support has been useless, even tried the offline update and its gets stuck at 53% applying update step. To make matters worse when I called xbox I keep getting my calls disconnected. Hope they are able to fix this soon.

    Xbox is scrolling right on its own all the time.

    If this occurs even with the controller disconnected it may be something like a RockBand guitar etc if you have that or even an Xbox remote that is laying around with a button being pressed.
