    Xbox one controller keeps needing to update


    My controller won't sync to the Xbox one console, so I connected with USB to update the controller. I have gone through the update process 5 times on the same controller. Every time it says the update is complete, but then it won't sync. So I do a hard
    reset, try to sync again, and it still won't work. I plugged it back in via USB, and it keeps saying that my controller needs an update. All five times it goes through the process of downloading and installing the update, and says the controller is updated
    and ready to use. What am I doing wrong, or what can I do differently? Thanks

    :)

    Xbox one stereo headset not working and controller

    I updated my controller yesterday with the stereo adapter. Purchased the xbox one stereo headset . Loaded titanfall, it says I need to update my controller again, but it keeps saying it can't update the controller. Finally got into a match and I can hear
    everyone else, but no one can hear me. The icon that shows that it is picking up sound but no one can hear me and my controller won't update again.

    Xbox One Problems

    Hey there Haydenn, this could be down to the controller needing a Firmware update. You will need a Micro USb to USB cable (basically any phone charger cable or the Play and charge cable for the Xbox One Controller.)

    If you are on the 1409 update go to Settings>>>System>>>Update Controller.

    If you are on the 1410 preview update go to Settings>>>Devices & Accessories>>>Select the controller that is listed>>>Than select Update.

    Let me know if this works for you!

    Xbox One S Controller won't charge

    Same.

    The cable will keep my Xbox one s controller active but the light won't come on and it isn't charging.

    It sounds to me like the controller needs some kind of update to allow the old Xbox one battery.

    Hello Paulo,

    Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. A USB c type cable will not plug into the controller unfortunately. You would need a micro USB cable to connect the controller to the PC for wired connections and updates.

    If the controller is not updated, you will find issues keeping the controller connected, or even functioning properly at all. This is of course, only the case for your Xbox one controllers since your 360 ones would not require any updates.

    Hope this helps!
