Why won’t my xbox one controller stop blinking

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good evening

There are a few possible reasons why your Xbox One controller might be blinking and not connecting:

The controller might be too far away from the console. Make sure the controller is within range of the console (usually about 30 feet) and try again.

There might be interference from other devices. Try turning off any other devices that might be causing interference, such as other gaming consoles or wireless devices.

The controller's batteries might be low. Try replacing the batteries with fresh ones to see if that fixes the problem.

The controller might be damaged. If none of the above solutions work, the controller might be damaged and need to be repaired or replaced.

I hope this helps!

why would i have the issue with both controllers i have. one of the ones i’m using is new.

The controller will also stop blinking as if it's connected then start to blink again.

Press the pairing button on your controller: On your controller, there is a pairing button (usually on the bottom of the controller, near the Xbox button). Press and hold this button until the LED on your controller starts blinking.

Wait for it to pair: The LED on your controller should stop blinking and turn one of four colors, indicating that the pairing was successful.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting, I did not know that it was "wirelessly" connected while connected to a USB C Data Cord. As soon as I unplug, it stays disconnected (in sync mode the controller also keeps blinking then turns off). If this is right I don't know why I also can't sync any of my other Xbox controllers to the series X unless connected with a cord (works on an One X controller also, stops when unplugged). I don't know why the sync button (blinking) stopped operating all together.

I replaced my batteries and tried to pull and place back in earlier with no luck. I also updated the controller as I set up as new.

The interesting thing is I am able to use the series X controller perfectly on PC wirelessly with windows 10/Xbox PC adapter. I have no problems on PC wireless.
