    Xbox controller turning off after idling for a while


    So whenever I am watching a movie via Xbox, after a while the controller turns off (I guess because it operates that way to save battery). I just want to know if there is a way to stop it form turning off after idling for a while.

    :)

    Looking for some suggestions

    Thank you for your suggestion but controller still turns off even when plugged in after it's been idle for 15 min.

    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?

    Series x freezes then shutdown

    I changed it to never turn off , but I’m playing games when it freezes . I’m not just letting it idle or turn off after media. The console seems to freeze after 5-6 hours of playing , then shuts down and I have to manually turn they system again again. When the console shutdowns the controller stays on.

    idle game drops to dahboard

    Yeah I googled around before posting and my xbox doesn't have the "shut off after 6 hrs" turned on. It's dropping to the dashboard after a few hours of minecraft idling. Very odd indeed.

    My next test is to leave another game running to see if it bails. Also might try putting my guy in a corner and taping the controller so he is constantly moving ie not idle...

    I guess I could pose the question this way: Does anyone leave Minecraft on for long periods so their buddies can join while you aren't around?
