    Xbox One Controller is using background functions


    I installed my new Xbox One controller and started to play fifa. Since i have an Xbox 360 controller i tried to do a multiplayer session. Both controllers seem to work but in game it sometimes does "auto double button pressing" or when i play some time a
    keyboard appears suddenly and minimizes the game. Also now both controls seems to be pressing buttons or windows in background or moving stuff. When i move my triggers it also moves the page when i am in browser or RT and LT seem to work as right and left
    clicks. I don't know what to do.

  2. Xbox one controller won't work at all

    Hi there Thomasarus21,

    I want to first verify the batteries you are using, brand, power, etc.

    -I start here because this controller does not function off the same power as the xbox 360 controller. Also all batteries are not created to fully function on the xbox one controller. I assume you are using the batteries that come with the controller...but
    just in case....

    Here is something you've probably read but I thought to post it just in case :

    AA Batteries -
    support.xbox.com/.../using-aa-batteries


    Rechargeable batteries -
    support.xbox.com/.../wireless-controller-rechargeable-batteries


    In short the resolution is to first buy two batteries per the support link (based on your preferences) but I'm not trying to discount that you may have, in some way purchased a bad controller two times.

    Xbox One Controller is using background functions

    Hey there anfelab!

    Does this happen across multiple games or does this occur with some games in particular? Also, does this only occur if you have multiple controllers connected?

    It happens with every game. Actually the problem seems to be that the controller is also working when there is no game running. It also messes up some things in Windows and the Keyboard box also appears when there is no game running.

    Thanks for the clarification anfelab!

    Can you also specify which version of Windows you're running? If you haven't already, be sure to try removing the controller from your drivers, restart your PC, and then reconnect the controller to see if there's any change with it's performance.

    Amazon Music App and Pandora App Running but NO MUSIC. All other apps and sounds work normally

    Hi there,

    The Pandora app and Amazon music apps function as background apps or snapped apps as they are called on Xbox One and since the app is running in the background, the audio controls are accessed using a submenu since the app is not open on full screen. Accessing
    the audio controls can be confusing, but I believe it works similar on PC when you use these apps in a snapped format, playing in the background while you use games or other apps so its just the functionality of music apps that play in the background. When
    a background music app is playing, you can also access the Volume controls under the Display and Sound Settings, then look for Sound Mixer.

    We appreciate the feedback on how to access the audio controls for these apps that I'm sure will help many others, so I will go ahead and mark your post as answered and lock the thread. I'll provide some support articles on this topic for further information:


    Feel free to come back to the forums anytime you have any questions or concerns and we would be more than happy to assist you!

    Thank you and have a great day!
