    Wireless controller does not work with YouTube on first launch


    I was not sure which specific area to post this, but this only occurs with the YouTube app on Xbox One.

    When I start my Xbox, main menu, launch YouTube application my wireless controller does not work. No dpad or joy stick movement, nothing until I use the Xbox button on controller to turn off and back on the controller. The controller does work with other
    application and the main menu nav so the controller does work, except with YouTube I can also use the front connection button to re-initiate the connection, but the same result.

    I originally had the first gen controller which had this behavior and I recently purchased a new wireless, Bluetooth enabled controller from Microsoft store. I assumed this might resolve this issue. Interestingly enough it has not as it exhibits the same
    behavior.

    Both controllers on latest firmware as well as Xbox running latest OS version.

    Any ideas? or has anyone had this experience? This is not a deal breaker, just an annoyance.

    :)

    Xbox one defective controller

    Xbox one wireless controller completely defective. Controller does not turn on at all. Tried it with the battery pack, did not work. Tried it with USB charging cable in the Xbox one still does not turn on. Not impressed with xbox one.

    connecting controllers

    what you should do is first turn off the Xbox 360. Then sync the controller if that does work good, but if it does not try going on Xbox 360 Wireless controller problems you can always change batteries if that's the proplem

    Xbox elite controller broken. Microsoft seemingly don't care. I tried to contact "Xbox gamers" thrice and no one answered.

    Hello. Thank you for bringing this to the xbox forums. I’m sorry to hear your controller isn’t working properly. Unfortunantly chances are you will have to buy a new one. There is a troubleshoot link here you can try if you like. Sorry man.

    Troubleshoot your Xbox One wireless controller

    In regards to the sync issue. I’ve found that some users in the past would launch an app first, like youtube, then switch over to a game and the data would sync. Don’t know how that makes a difference but maybe give it a try?

    My Xbox 360 Controller Recognized as USB Firmware Fpdater

    Hi

    Iam Fine Thank you

    Yes i connect the controller directly to the PC with a cable but its not work

    I searchd in youtube and google and i found pepole are use it with cable and why i need wireless adapter when i have cable

    Thanks you Mr. Samy for your Help
    Is the controller a Wireless controller though? The cable that comes with the Wireless 360 controller does not transmit data, only power for charging. The Wireless controller needs a Wireless receiver to work

    There are people that have connected the wireless controller via a different USB cable, that is true...however, it's not a straightforward solution and certainly not for anyone who doesn't know what they are doing

    Xbox one controller's left joystick broken

    Youtube does have a few videos to help you fix these controllers. Make sure you don't have a warranty on it first.

    Can i connect my Xbox 360 controller on my PC?

    No, the Play and Charge kit does not convert a wireless controller into a wired one, it simply charges the controller. If you want a wireless controller to work on a Windows PC you will need the Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows.
