    Telling me I need a controller..?!


    Why is it that some of my games are telling me I “need a controller to play this game” even though I have a controller on (yea know, since I used it to load the game) and I have to push A to continue. This started right after the last update..

    :)

    Hi LeadedBeast!

    What device are you using to play your games? Are you playing via cloud gaming? Via Xbox Game Pass app or via a browser?

    Hello, I believe it might have something to do with that specific account because I'm able to login into another one but its just that one that has an issue. Thanks

    Hello, I've tried everything you recommended me to try but this problem still seems to occur, before I attempt to log onto that account this shows up, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this issue but I thought it might have something to do with the problem I'm having. Thanks

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this SHADOW_SZS

    Please double check and do the next:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;
    Click Check for Updates;
    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    If you're able to access to the Store, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too. (If not, let me know)

    Then go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.
    Give it a new try.

    ------
    If the issue persists please try this:
    Open the Control Panel in Windows.
    After opening the control panel, set the “View by” on the top-right corner to “Large icons“.
    Click on the “Network and Sharing Center” option.
    Here, click on the “Change adapter settings” link on the left panel.
    Now, right-click on the active network adapter and select “Properties“.
    Go to the “Networking” tab.
    Here, uncheck the “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” option.
    Click on the “Ok” button to save changes.
    Then close all the windows, restart your PC and try again
