  1. (Rarely appears) Xbox One S controller tries syncing after turning off Xbox One S


    This is rarely popping up but sometimes when I turn off my Xbox one s the controller doesn't turn off with it and it looks for a console to sync to. Last time it happened I had to turn on the Xbox then shut it off again just because the controller stayed
    on.

  3. TV control not autoselecting correct AV input

    I have reprogrammed my Harmony 1100 remote so the one button press for XB1 turns everything on, changes the inputs and selects the right remote for the SKY box. I then pick up my controller and turn XB1 on. It works better than shouting to turn Xbox on, and then like you mentioned, your remote is all out of sync. Harmony remote wins for me for now.

    Hi Nathan,

    Thanks for your post, if the controller is staying on after the console is powering off, try hard resetting the console with these steps:

    1. Hold the power button on the console for 10 seconds (while it is on)
    2. Release the power button after 10 seconds
    3. Press the power button as normal to turn the Xbox back on
    4. Attempt to power the console off as normal to check if the controller continues this issue

    Normally if a controller stays on after the console is powered off the controller will time-out and turn off on its own, so it should not cause any harm.

    I hope this information helps, thanks again.

    October's update made my console garbage

    Same here... When you turn on the xbox one x (didnt check if it happens with xbox one s) from the controller, about 5 seconds after that it looses sync to it and wont re-sync until you shut down the controller and turn it on again, tried it on 3 different
    consoles with 6 different controllers, all that happened after the last update

    Xbox One X (Eclipse Edition) will not power on.

    Same thing with my Xbox One S minus the noise. Have you tried syncing it with your controller and then turning it on by holding down the Xbox Logo button on it?

    Xbox One S Controller Does Not Turn On Console. Also, Controller Remains On After Turning Console Off

    Hi, power the xbox and controller on, then press and hold the power button on the xbox for 10 seconds.

    When the xbox powers off pull the power cord out of the back of the xbox and wait two minutes. Reconnect the power cord and press the power button on the xbox to power it on. Power on the controller and then try using the controller to power on/off the xbox.
    This solution worked. Thank you!

    For anyone else reading having this issue, I still had to re-sync the controller after going through the above process, in order to solve that problem. After turning on the Xbox one with the power button sync it the normal way by hitting the sync button
    on the front of the Xbox One S, and then holding the sync button on top of the controller. Thereafter, the guide button on the controller will power on the console.

    However, the above solution did immediately fix the fact that the controller wouldn't turn off when I powered the console off.
