Xbox one controller keeps pressing y button by itself

Hey Duncan, lets try to reset the video settings on the xbox. With the xbox off, grab your controller and press and hold the right trigger while holding fown the Y button. Then press the center xbox button to power on the xbox. Keep pressing down on the
trigger and Y till the console resets then release the trigger and y button. When the console finishes booting up see if you are still experiencing the video issue.

Hello again, one thing I don't see tried is a reset of the display settings on the console itself.

Remove any disc from the drive and power the console off, power the console on using the guide button on your controller, as soon as you hear the console kick into life let go of the guide button and press and hold Y and the right trigger, it's important
that those buttons are held down before you see the light showing that the controller is connected. Keep the buttons pressed, the console should restart and the display settings are reset.

This is a long shot but it may just work.

Lighter and smaller. Vibration like in Forza 5 is cool. Nice battery compartment. I thought that the white circle button on the top was just put their as a design image but it functions pretty much like the Xbox Guide button on the Xbox 360. The LB and RB
buttons sound more plastic-y when you press them. And the Y B A X buttons are not completely covered in colour like the Xbox 360 controller ones. I'm so use to seeing "press start" button on Xbox 360 games but with Xbox 1 games it says "press A". I usually
press A anyway for Xbox 360 games but for some 360 games that I've tried namely Mass Effect 3 the game would only start if I pressed the start button, wouldn't accept the A button. It's a more sleek controller. On the Xbox 1's Dashboard, it doesn't indicate
the battery power level your Xbox 1 controller has but with Xbox 360 it keeps a battery level indicator for the controller. That pretty much sums up my experience with it.

Hi, did you try resetting the display settings on the Xbox at all ?

With the Xbox powered off press and hold the large button in the centre of the controller, as soon as you hear the Xbox kicking into life let go of that button and press and hold Y and the Right Trigger, keep both buttons held, the Xbox should restart and
the display settings will be reset.

Does the problem also occur when connecting the controller to other devices?

You could test it on a console, PC or smartphone.
