November Update broke Elite Controller/Console Sync/Power On

EGASSPAWN · Oct 31, 2018

same with me. Had to update controller and it loaded half way through then failed. Since then I have not been able to connect controller, even with charging cord. I have a regular 500 gb and 1 terabyte consoles which regular controller connects to, yet
the elite controller still refuses.

As an update, mine is still doing it. Just about every time I shut down, if i don't immediately turn back on, the controller fails to sync unless I do a hard reset.

Would really like the instant on to work. In the short term, will try disabling instant on. Though that is one of my favorite features.

Kinda stinks that its advertised as a faster than the old version load in, but can't use the best part of it....

Tweeted to @XboxSupport and THEY HAVE NO IDEA or have NOT HEARD of this, I provided them a link to this post.

I had to install a surge protector so if the controller doesnt work, I can just turn the switch on and off instead of reaching back and unplugging the wire! Can't believe I am having to do this on a $500 console.

Full reboot and controller has connected.

What happens when you connect the controller to the console with a USB cable.

If the controller does work when plugged in with USB cable than try and carry out a controller firmware update by going into all settings/Kinect & devices/Controllers and see what happens afterwards.

I can confirm that this is not only an issue with the elite controller. I got the Master Chief Collection bundle and after the update I have has this same issue I hope Microsoft would care enough to check these forums and fix their mistakes instead of making
us pay for it
