Xbox controller. Automatic disconnect .

Nov. 18. 2021

Just got a new controller and Xbox automatically updated controller firmware and right away the intermittent disconnects started.

Compensation?

I am having this problem also. It doesn't automatically reconnect. I have to hit the xbox button on my controller and choose sign in every time it disconnects me. I never had it disconnect me before the october software upgrade.

If you have a charge cable, have player one hold the first controller and player two hold second controller with power off. Plug the cable into the usb slot on xbox and then on the second controller then see if it recognizes and binds it automatically.

The controller is up to date. On initial setup, it will automatically downlod the latest firmware. Got the controller last week. But I suspect the case is with the console, not the controller, because the headset disconnects at the same time as the controller
does.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are experiencing trouble with your Xbox controllers.

There are several reasons that could be causing the controller to disconnect. If the controller is idle, it will automatically disconnect after 15 minutes.

The most common issue may be additional wireless interference. You can reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAt_P8PFl38 to help troubleshoot, even though the video is a little older.

If nothing resolves your issue, your controller may need to be replaced.
