    Xbox controller series S home button isn’t working when pressed?

    Hi, Lisa! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your controller. No worries, I'm happy to assist you with this today.

    Typically, this is a mechanical issue that cannot be resolved with a software update, but let's first ensure we isolate the problem before proceeding with a repair or replacement.

    - Inspect your controller to ensure it's clean, free of debris in the thumbsticks or buttons, and without any signs of damage.

    Won't it work regardless of which device it is connected to? Can you test it on your mobile phone?

    When did this start happening?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thank you!

    xbox one controller will not sync

    You might have to re-sync the controller to the Xbox. Press the little button on the top of your controller until the home button flashes quickly then press the little button on the front of your Xbox one s or x or press the button next to the CD drive
    on the Xbox one
