PLEASE HELP! How to Get controller to stop disconnecting Windows 11

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

Having tried multiple troubleshoots without any success, I advise you format your Windows.

Resetting your PC lets you perform a clean reinstallation and update of Windows while keeping your personal data and most Windows settings intact. In some cases, a clean installation may improve your device's performance, security, browsing experience, and battery life.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

I recently started having this same issue with Windows 11. I'm using a PowerA Fusion Pro 2 Wired controller. Sometimes a button will get stuck on disconnect. Looks like the light stays on the controller like it's still connected.

Hi Ekaterina! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.

If I may ask, does the disconnection still happen if you have connected your controller using a USB cable?

If yes, kindly try to update the controller's firmware using Windows PC to see if it works according to the official Xbox website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/update-xbox-wireless-controller

"Update your controller on Windows 10/11 by using the Xbox Accessories app:

If you don’t already have the app installed, get it in the Store:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NBLGGH30XJ3?hl=en-us&gl=SA

Open the Xbox Accessories app.
Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
When the controller is connected, you'll see the message Update Required if an update is mandatory. Install the update.

Things to keep in mind:

The Xbox Accessories app is available only on Windows 10/11.
Updating the controller over Bluetooth is not supported."

Then check if the disconnection would still occur.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Hi,

If a game is stubbornly using your integrated graphics you'll need to force it either in Windows itself, or via the NVIDIA control panel. Rather than me waffle on how to do it, these guides should be able to assist you:

How to set default graphics in Windows 10 and NVIDIA control panel

The NVIDIA control panel should allow you to set the GTX1050 for all games as well as individual titles . The Windows settings allows you to set the option per game or app.

The NVIDIA control panel is the same for Windows 10 and 11. However, to get it to show via the desktop shortcut in Win 11, you'll either need to right click and choose 'Show more Options' or hold down Shift and press the F10 key, then Click on the NVIDIA Control Panel.
