    Why does my controller suddenly not work after disconecting and then reconecting it?


    Hello, yesterday i was playing with my xbox series s wireless controller on my pc which ive had for about a year and had it connected to bluetooth. Suddenly my controller dies and i go to change batteries. When i come back i start my controller again but it wont connect (by this time it is still blinking normally) so i thought i needed to disconect and reconnect it from my pc. When i try to get it back to bluetooth it says that it is connected but it wont work in game or anything. I try to connect my usb and that works. so then i try updating its software on xbox accesories but then i get the problem of my controller constantly blinking twice constantly except for when i have it in usb or shut off. A quick google search later and i see that it is caused by low batteries so i go to change batteries and still that problem. So i go to get a pair of batteries that i know are 100% fresh and i still have that problem. and now when i try to connect it, it will blink twice constantly and when i hold the pair button it will show up and i connect it but it just says that it is connected and doesnt work at all except for when i plug it in with usb. I really dont want to have to plug into usb because ive spent alot of money to get this wireless and it will feel like a waist. Please help me i have been searching the web for about two hours and cant find anything on this.

    :)

    Hello, My name is Ingmar1123. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    Thanks for your reply. Just to be clear, you have tried to remove the controller from your PC's list of connected devices, then manually attempted to re-pair it to your PC?

    Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with your Xbox Series S wireless controller. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

    1. Reset the controller: Try performing a reset on your controller by pressing and holding the pairing button on the back of the controller for about 10 seconds. This will reset the wireless connection and can help resolve connectivity issues.

    2. Update the controller firmware: Connect the controller to your PC using a USB cable and check for any available firmware updates through the Xbox Accessories app. Updating the controller's firmware can address compatibility issues and improve its performance.

    3. Remove and re-pair the controller: On your PC, go to the Bluetooth settings and remove the Xbox controller from the list of paired devices. Then, put the controller into pairing mode by pressing and holding the pairing button until the Xbox button starts flashing rapidly. Go back to the Bluetooth settings and try pairing the controller again.

    4. Check for driver updates: Make sure your PC's Bluetooth drivers are up-to-date. You can usually find driver updates on the manufacturer's website for your PC's Bluetooth hardware.

    5. Test on a different device: If possible, try connecting the controller to a different device, such as another PC or an Xbox console, to see if the issue persists. This will help determine if the problem is specific to your PC or if it's related to the controller itself.

    I hope this helps, if the problem persists contact me again please.
    Best regards.
