    Strange controller issue


    I have an interesting scenario.

    I had a computer running Windows Vista Pro next to me when I'm gaming. Sometimes if the battery is low on the controller, I would connect it to my computer for it to charge while I play. When I'm done gaming I would turn off my Xbox One from my controller
    and I would connect my controller to the computer for it to charge.

    Yesterday, I replaced my computer with one running Windows 10 Pro. I decided to connect my controller to my computer, with my Xbox still turned on, and all of a sudden, my controller wouldn't control my Xbox One anymore. I could see the orange light on the
    USB cable connector which indicates the controller was being charged. The guide button was also lit up.

    I had to disconnect the controller from my computer, remove the battery, add the battery back, and the perform a manual sync for it to pair with my console.

    I always charge my controller using my computer and will not use the console to do that so please don't suggest I use my console for charging.

    Can someone explain what's happening here? Also, I haven't done anything with the Xbox One app on Windows 10.

    :)

    Thanks for the heads up. I thought that might be the problem but could not find any news to confirm it.

    Xbox one strange controller issue

    I tried this several times but it only fixes it temporarily. It soon goes back to not turning the controller off when shutting down and then being unable to power on the system with the controller. Kinect is as unresponsive as ever.

    Strange controller issue

    It is probably because the controller is pairing with the computer since it is running Windows 10 and the drivers are available for the controller.

    Not sure why you don't want to use the console to charge the controller but another option would be to get a USB connector that plugs into a wall outlet and use that to charge your controller.

    In addition to powering my console off after each gaming session, I disconnect the power cord at the back my console because I believe when I power something off, it should stay off. The Xbox One does not adhere to this fundamental principal. I don't
    want it doing anything in the background.

    I did consider your suggestion of getting of getting a USB connector that connect to a wall outlet. I may have to end up doing that.

    Also, isn't this a Xbox One official support forum?

    If you put the xbox in power saving mode it does power off and stay off. If yours is not doing that then there may be other issues.

    Yes the is the "Official" XBOX Support forum but it is monitored primarily my gamers like yourself. Why do you ask?

    I do have energy saving selected however, this still doesn't make the the light on my external drive go out. Unplugging the power resolves that.

    How long does it take to get an official response or conversation going?

    I'd like an option to choose what I want to do. Surely Microsoft knows people may move their controller between their console and computer.

  10. Yes , to move it to the computer you plug it up , to move back to the console, unplug and sync. ..could get a second controller I guess , but there is no pop up menu that is gona ask you what you want to do....could post that on feedback though..

    Are you using a self powered HDD or are you using a BUS powered HDD?

    @Bimnog - I have several controllers but they all need charging don't they? Having to resync is pain because I have to do it everyday since I charge my controller every night.

    A popup asking weather I wanted to "Charge controller" or "Use with this PC" might be helpful. It would therefore be logical for it to pair with the PC and me having to resync with the console when I'm ready to use with the console. Even better would be
    to set a default action - charge or use.

    @Genesis - I'm using a USB powered external drive so it's BUS powered.

    Since this is an official forum for support can I get an response from "official support staff"?

  14. It's working exactly as designed , so I doubt you will get an "official " response , like I said above , if you want to see some sort of menu added, then you should post that on the feedback page ...
