  1. Why does my controller keep de-syncing


    When I'm playing a game it randomly de-syncs for just a few seconds then starts working again normally. It's a brand new controller from the xbox store and sometimes it will go for hours with no problems and then it happens a dozen times in 10 minutes.

    :)

    Why does my controller keep de-syncing

    Hi Verified✔️T_Law, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, reset your controller pairing.

    To unpair it, press and hold the pair button on top of the controller for a few seconds until it vibrates twice.

    Then, pair it again.

    Turn on your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button.

    Press and release the Pair button on the Xbox.

    Within 20 seconds, press and hold the controller’s Pair button a circular button on top of the controller as you hold it in your hands) until the controller's Xbox button flashes a few times.

    That means it's searching for a console.

    The Xbox button stays lit once it's connected.

    I hope this helps.

    Wireless Xbox 360 Controller in Windows 7 with PC Gaming Receiver (Not working)

    I'm running out of hope here...

    First I'd like to make it perfect clear that I have installed the correct software and manually updated the driver.

    After that process, my controller synced perfectly and was working fine until I had the bright idea to re-sync it to the xbox...

    Well after that It wont sync to the received on PC...

    I cleared the drivers and uninstalled the software to install it again and it didn't work...

    The controller ended de-syncing from xbox with the many attempts I had to sync it to the wireless receiver.

    So now...none of my controllers will sync with the receiver even after following all steps for the software and driver. I keeps blinking (going in circles) and it doesn't sync...

    Anyone has any ideas why this is happening...I mean it was working and now it won't...

    Two Quick Questions

    If it says, "De-Synced," no, nor does it count as a loss. If it says "disconnected," keep your eyes on your record to find out. My game isn't freezing, but ALOT of people are being de-synced now more than ever, because of the update. They fixed king-of-the-hill
    lag, but now people can't even stay in a room for very long. I'd rather the lag come back.
