Why wont any of my 4 controllers connect to either of my two consoles?

Hi Odhran, 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.

Have you tried resetting the controllers and using an USB cable to connect them?

First, let's try a simple fix, please, power cycle the console and then reset the controllers.

To do it, follow these steps:

Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 60 seconds.

Important Be sure to wait at least 60 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

Plug the console power cable back in.

Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

Then, 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.

Remove the batteries, wait for a few seconds, and reinsert them.

Once this is done, try to pair it again.

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

Press and release the Pair button on the Xbox Console.

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.

Let me know if it works!

1. My controller wont turn on at all for any of the games on my pc

2.It was working perfectly but now (as i said) wont turn on after not using it for maybe 3 days.

3.The usb-c cable is connected properly

4.the controller dosent have batteries (its an xbox elite controller) and when i put the controller on the charger nothing happens.

My controller also dosent turn on at all so i cant check if it needs updated.

I can't gain control/use of either controller to access any menus. Should I try to reset the console after pulling off the hard drive perhaps? I've never had 4 controllers, let alone 4 of them assigned/connected.

thanks

Updated my controller and now all my apps close and my xbox wont connect to any of my controllers so i basically cant use it. HELP!

This is happening across two MS xbox controllers and two Rockband 4 controllers. When this happens none of the controllers can connect. If I plug them in via USB they work. Putting the system to sleep doesn't make a difference either. If I hard reboot the
console the problem goes away but comes back after days. It has all of the trappings of a driver issue with the controller system that is causing a memory leak.
