Xbox controller malfunction

HannahFeuerbacher · Jan 19, 2021

I’ve had my all digital Xbox one S for a year and yesterday all three of my controllers, wireless and otherwise would not turn on and connect to the console, we changed the batteries, unplugged and replugged the adapter controller, and tried resetting
the xbox itself. Today we hard reset the xbox and while the controllers are on and connected now, I cant seem to scroll any way accept right or left. Because of this, I cant sign in to my microsoft account and therefore can’t connect through the xbox app on
my phone to control anything. Is there a chance that all three of my controlers broke at the same time or is it my xbox? Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions? I cant get past the “sign in” page.

Well what kind of controller is this is it the original Xbox one controller or 3.5mm controller? If it is the original Xbox one controller it might be the controller malfunctioning with your Xbox because they are outdated.

I had the same problem..controller would poop out for no reason or couldn't hold the charge.FINALLY found a wired controller.This has been a problem since the 360 was first released,and i should know as i pre ordered the first version of the console and
have been dealing with controllers crapping out ever since.

When i bought the first system i was returrning controllers every 2 weeks because they couldn't hold a charge beyond 10 minutes.My brother in Law gave me his recharger cord and that worked for a couple years,but i think keeping it plugged in all the time
caused some funky stuff as it started not to be recognized recently and if i put in the battery pack the power cord would go red.

Found a Mad Catz wired controller,at one store,and so far so good...for now.
