    Why does my Xbox controller randomly disconnect?


    I recently bought this Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and it randomly disconnect after about 10-15 minutes of play. I have tried 3 different controller a Elite 2 and a brand new Xbox X/S controller and both had the same issue but the Xbox one has no problems. My controllers are up to date and I tried 2 different windows 11 computers (1 year old laptop and just built desktop). As well my computers are up to date in firmware too. This issue doesn't happen on my Xbox just my computers.

    :)

    xbox series x controller disconnecting pc

    I got 2 of the xsx controllers.. they used to disconnect randomly on the xsx.. but it seems like its fixed now. on win10 some games are basically unplayable.. randomly flashes and disconnects.. the older xbox one controllers have no problems at all. does microsoft know of this problem.. it should be pretty widespread.

    Xbox one disconnecting from wifi every 1-5minutes

    Does you controller disconnect as well?

    I have the same problem, whenever I am using an online connection for a game, my wireless connections just randomly drops, could be as quick as 1 minute or as long as 45 minutes. Also my controller disconnects along with my wireless connection.

    Why is my controller randomly disconnecting?

    Hi Ddrouillard, 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, follow these steps:

    On your Xbox console, press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then:

    Go to Profile & system > Xbox Support > Get help > Help topics > Hardware & networking > Controllers > My Xbox controller has connection issues after the last update.

    Select Check your controller’s firmware to open the controller firmware reversion screen in the Xbox Accessories app, and then follow the instructions in the app.

    Let me know if it works!
