My Xbox One controllers home button isn't working

RudyMoneyGarcia · Mar 3, 2016

if my Xbox is off the home button will still turn the console on but after that the home button wont work. I already updated the controller and I've tried another controller and I had the same problem. All of the other buttons work correctly on the controller
other than the he home button.

How is your Elite Controller holding up?

Sounds like these elite controllers are crap

I have the Xbox one S controller and it's ok, has allot of clicking noises especially the D pad and the home button doesn't respond unless you press it hard.
My two other original day one Xbox one controllers are working flawlessly and better than the Xbox one S controllerClick to expand...
Click to expand...

There is the light clicking but the home button issue must be a defect as my home button works flawlessly.

Using smartglass as a controller doesn't work either

Restarting my system fixed the problem

I'm have a similar issue! My home button won't work and my Xbox won't let me type anything on the Xbox key board but the YouTube keyboard works!

A lot of Xbox One controllers seem to be deficient in some way or the other. My last controller's home and select buttons weren't working properly, and the left thumbstick seemed to make a clicking noise without me pressing the thumbstick's button. It just
clicked whenever I moved it.

I just got a replacement controller and its D-pad isn't working properly either. I can't seem to get a perfectly fine XbOne controller...

OK strange new development/observation

it appears if i plug the controller into the xbox via usb, than still the home button doesn't work, HOWEVER if i remove the batteries making the controller dependent on the xbox for power then the HOME BUTTON WORKS IMMEDIATELY! while plugged into the xbox
with a working home button if i put the batteries back into the controller, without hitting anything, the home button stops working again.

and remember the controller will turn the xbox on via home button even while not connected by USB...

what in the world is up with this controller?!

Both my controllers home button do not work. I can not go to the home screen if in a game, nor can I open the side bar in order to make GameDVRs or check anything when playing a game. I have even tried using xbox one smart glass controller feature and even
then the home button on there doesn't work either. I have tried a few the suggestions about holding the home button and everything and NOTHING has worked at all.

Adding to what NewBlacksmurf said, have you made sure that your console and controllers are up to date?
