    My xbox one controller keeps going idle during game play. It's updated with the latest update but seems like it disconnects. Any suggestions on how to fix?

    :)

    XBOX controller automatically turns off

    As mentioned a cabled controller will stay on - battery will always go off when idle

    Xbox controller turns off

    My Xbox controller generally turns off after I go idle for a few minutes but it doesnt do so when plugged in. So that is peculiar.

    Try the suggestions here and see if that helps?

    Play to going idle

    If there's no activity on the console/controller then the screen saver kicks in.

    Scroll to the right of your dash,click on the "system" tile,console settings then display & the screen saver menu is there,thats were you can disable it.

    TV turns black every 5 minutes

    It could because of the game or controls going idle.

    It will dim after a while of inactivity.

    If it's doing it while your playing, the HDMI cords could be moving.

    The controller update bricked my controller.

    I forgot to mention in my previous reply that my update went fine on my controller. When it went idle and I turned it back on it was now a brick, only the center button worked, same problem everyone else has. I called support, no joy, not our problem. So
    now I'm paranoid the other 2 controllers will do the same if allowed to go idle
