    Xbox One controller turn off when I press the bluetooth button (PC and Steam Link)

    Yes, I'm trying to connect my controller via Bluetooth on my Windows 10 PC (It worked before yesterday). When I connect my controller via USB Cable it works fine.

    The XBox Button flashing slowly when it's turn on. When I press the sync button to connect via Bluetooth, the XBox Button flashes for 1 second and the controller turn off.

    Xbox Controller Sync & Powering off from after pressing sync button five times....

    My sync button turns off my Xbox one X and won't connect any controllers.

    When controllers do connect they disconnect and flash.

    Had this problem since beginning of February.

    My Xbox controller just flashes for a split second before turning off and won't sync to either my computer or Xbox. What do I do?

    Hi Liam! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

    Please make sure that your controller's battery is fully charged. You could try to put new batteries to isolate the issue.

    Try connecting it as well using a USB cable if it will connect successfully and check for controller updates.
