I plug in my Xbox wireless controller to PC for gaming. Whenever I put it down or it reaches at a level angle, it immediately stops responding (all buttons stop working but the light is on). The only way to make it work again is to pull out the wire and replug it again. It is extremely frustrating and makes the controller very unusable. I tried to update the firmware but it didn't help. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Edit: It is not just level angle. It happens after certain movements too, like raising the controller up, or leaning it etc. The controller stays on and connected, but all buttons stop working until I reconnect the wire.
