    Hmm yeah it seems the external hard drive might be causing some kind of interference

    Hmm, are you able to use it normally when connected through a USB cable?

    Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

    Is that the only controller having those issues?

    If it is try checking for a controller update

    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

    Under Profile & system, select Settings.

    Under Devices & connections, select Accessories.

    On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller.

    If it says there’s no update available, your controller is current. If it says “Update,” follow the steps provided.

    Once your controller is updated, disconnect the USB cable and try connecting wirelessly again.

    If it is not try a factory reset on your console

    System > Settings > System > Console info > Select Reset console > Choose Reset and keep my games and apps.
