  1. Xbox controller glitching and spamming home button when I am in proximity of it


    Note: this is in behave of my cousin

    Xbox Series S

    Tldr: Xbox Controller glitch when I am in proximity of it (Only me)

    My cousins Xbox controller is acting really strange lately. The controller seems to press buttons on its own and open and close apps on its own. The most strange thing about this problem is that it works perfectly fine for everyone else but when I'm in proximity of the controller (Touching or hovering hand against) the controller goes crazy and opens and closes the home tab or opens random apps, I doubt it's someone messing with me or interference when I start recording a video of this problem the glitch goes away instantly. I am genuinely freaked out on what's happened (I'm not superstitious), Occasional it turns off on its own (also when I am in proximity of it)

    This problem is only happening to me and fixes when I am not using or touching the controller

    Please help I'm genuinely stumped

    :)

    Hello Romão.
    My name is Ezequiel. I'm an Independent Consultant. Have you tried to see if any updates for your controller? If the controller connects via a USB cable but doesn't stay connected when the cable is removed, reconnect it and see if a controller update is available:
    Press the Xbox  button to open the dashboard.
    Under Profile & System, select Settings.
    Under Devices and Connections, select Accessories.
    On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check your controller's firmware version.
    If it says no update is available, then your controller is up to date. If it shows "Update", follow the steps provided.
    After the controller is updated, disconnect the USB cable and try to connect wirelessly again.

    Buttons don't work

    I am still having this problem, controller works until it goes to sleep then when I awaken the controller no buttons work to control Netflix. The controller still works to get to Xbox home and functions fine in the menu, just not Netflix. Please help.

    Question about upcoming Xbox one remote

    Thanks for your reply, I understand that's the case however I was more concerned about the buttons that control the actual Xbox such as the home button and the navigation buttons. For example of I press the Xbox home button will it turn on my Xbox the same
    way it does when pressed on the controller.

    Can't navigate menu due to menu glitch

    Thank you for the response! Unfortunately even though I followed your advice I am still experiencing the issue. :( Would doing a factory reset be the next option?

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    My Xbox is set to not have a profile signed into it when it is turned on. When I try to navigate the home screen menus it will tab left once to the menu on the left that allows you to choose a profile to sign in, check messages, ect. But if I hit left again
    (it does it both with thumb sticks and d pad) it acts like I hit the A button instead, which kicks me back to the home screen. If I hit right it launches the my game/apps management page. From there if I hit any button, if I do anything, like try launching
    an app or game it just kicks back to the home screen like I hit the home button.

    This glitch feels like a controller issue but I tried multiple controllers. I did a hard reset (hold xbox power until it shuts dow, unplug for 20 seconds) for each controller used and ran into the problem each time. I also reset the controllers and re-synched
    them with the Xbox. Both these controllers have the messenger pad installed on them, I don't know if that would cause this glitch.

    My Xbox is a day one edition, could it be an issue cause it's the oldest of the Xbox ones? (I hope not! I love my Xbox!)
