    Unsync a 'Ghost' Controller


    We have synced someone else's controller onto xbox one. The controller is no longer in the building but the controller is still in the side select. When we go to play a tournament the 'ghost' controller is still controlling one side! We can't move the controller from one of the sides and it means that one player (on the pitch) is doing nothing. We want to unsync the controller - maybe unsync all controllers and connect ours back in.

    :)

    Unsync a 'Ghost' Controller

    Hi there Andy welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Try a soft reset.

    The first step in resetting an Xbox is to open the main menu. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

    Press the home button on your Xbox controller. This is the illuminated button with a stylized X that is centrally located on the front of the controller near the top.

    Alternately, you can press the left bumper until you reach the home tab, and then press left on the d-pad.

    Press down on the d-pad until you reach the gear icon.

    Press the A button to select the gear icon.

    With all settings highlighted, press the A button again to open the settings menu.

    Press down on the d-pad until you reach System.

    Press the A button to open the ​System submenu.

    With console info highlighted, press the A button again.

    Press down on the d-pad to select reset console.

    Press the A button to select this option and move to the final step.

    Press left on the d-pad to select Reset and keep my games & apps. Then press the A button. This is the less thorough of the two options, as it only resets the Xbox firmware and settings without touching your games and apps. Try this first, as it allows you to avoid downloading everything all over again.

    Xbox 360 controller won't sync to windows 10

    okay so I borrowed a friends controller and it works! So my two controllers just aren't unsyncing from the previous wireless receiver and computer I used them on, does anyone know how I can unsync them?

    Xbox 360 controller won't sync to windows 10

    Hey there TG SilentStorm.

    You shouldn't need to unsync the controllers. Once you sync them with another device they should automatically unsync from a previous device. Have you possibly tested one of these controllers with an Xbox 360 to see if they're able to connect there?

    Xbox Series X - No Signal, Keeps Unpowering

    Also, I forgot to mention that the controller became unsynced with the console, and will not reconnect.
