    Xbox One Controller bricked after failed driver update


    I was using the Xbox Accessories app from my computer to update my controller, but not even half into the update it failed and bricked my controller, now it won't turn on either by USB or wireless.

    I have tried these methods:

    1) Uninstalled and reinstalled the bricked controller on my PC (which is now read as a USB not recognized, error 43)

    2) Troubleshooted hardware and devices

    3) Hard reset the console with the controller plugged in

    Any ideas?

    :)

    Bricked Xbox One Controller after Update Failed

    I have had this too, did all your steps as well. If I find a fix i will let you know, but seems very tedious to have an update that totally bricks the controller. I'm trying to play Fallout 4, I have new mods awaiting Xbox One Controller bricked after failed driver update :(

    Bricked Xbox One Controller after Update Failed

    I have had the exact same issue with my 2014 controller, however it turned off after the update and now will not turn on, similar to deano89's problem, I will be in touch if I find a resolution however my best advice is to contact Microsoft support team
    and push for a free replacement if your controller is still under warranty, if not push anyway as this is at no fault of your own and Microsoft have us by the balls here

    Xbox One Elite controller not working anymore after (failed?) Xbox Accessories firmware upgrade

    Another victim here. Received my brand new Elite controller today, bricked after the update from xbox accessories app.

    It may have been windows 10 anniversary update drivers that caused issue. Anyone here is facing the same brick issue without the anniversary update on their windows 10?

    Xbox one controller "bricked" after failed update.

    My first step in troubleshooting would be to remove the batteries and disconnect from USB, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. Then put the batteries back and try again, see if it'll sync up.

    I would also see if it'll connect to another device, either computer or mobile device via USB, if you have that available, to verify if it's an issue with it connecting or an issue between the controller and device you're connecting it to specifically.

    For clarification, were you trying to update via Windows 10 with the Xbox Accessories App or on Xbox One?

    Bricked Xbox One Controller after Update Failed

    just got the same problem but with the original controller, but the difference is that mine turned off as soon as I hit update and now wont power on whatsoever. So I guess I'm screwed.

    Xbox one controller "bricked" after failed update.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried disconnecting the battery pack, replacing with new batteries. Having no batteries in and connecting directly with a usb. All methods have the same outcome and the light remains flashing no matter what method of power
    is used. I have tried plugging it into my computer with windows 10 aswell as i read some folk are able to restart the firmware update from the windows accessories app there but that didnt work either as when the pad is plugged into the usb, the guide button
    light keepa flashing and the pad isnt getting the chance to be recognised.
