Turn on Xbox One S controller without turning on console?

Hey there Black Fire 44.

Do you have your wireless controller connected via USB to your PC or do you have an adapter? If you haven't already, try connecting to your PC with a USB cable, that should help avoid turning on your Xbox One with it.

The headset should work on an Xbox One controller and Xbox Series S/X controllers.

Turn off the controller by holding the Xbox button on the controller until the controller turns off and unplug the headset.

On your console press and hold the Xbox console button until the console turns off, remove the power cord from the console, and wait 1 minute.

Plug the power cord into your console again, turn on the console with your controller, and when you see your console's dashboard connect the headset to the controller and see if that solves the problem.

I have tried turning everything off and disconnected everything, turned on the tv and connected the xbox to the amp and connected the amp to the tv making sure I plugged in to a arc input and turned that on I made sure the hdmi control on my amp was turned on my xbox will turn my amp on but my amp won't control my tv my old one s console had option to separately control both tv and amp but my series x console only has one option for cec control

My wireless xbox controller will turn my xbox console (xbox one s) on, but will not operate the console after it is on. This started as I was playing and walked away from the xbox console with the controller in my hand. I cannot get the controller to connect to, or control, the xbox either wirelessly or with a USB-C cable attached. Also, this controller will not turn the console off. This controller may be 8-12 weeks old. I have a second controller that will turn on, operate and turn off the console, but it will not hold the horizontal so I can't use it. (This is at least the 3rd or 4th controller I've had to buy.)

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what your use case is, but I don't know of a way to remove the pairing between the console and a controller - only that you can overwrite it by pairing with a new console.

If for some reason you need your controller on, without turning on the console a "soft" touch of the Guide button will turn the controller on without turning the console on.
