    Xbox One controller randomly stops working mid-game


    For the past 2 days my buddy and I will be in a party playing AW together and then mid match my controller stops responding. None of the buttons work, not even the home button. I tried taking the batteries out and putting them back in, I've put brand new
    batteries in, I've tried re-syncing the controller and the Xbox by pressing the sync buttons, and nothing has worked. The only thing that works is shutting my system down completely and then turning it back on. Also, when it stops working my buddy can be heard
    over the TV speakers rather then my headset. It is a day one edition controller and headset came with the xbox. Any help would be appriciated.

    :)

    Xbox One controller stops working mid stream

    Hi,

    So I have the latest Windows 10 OS, installed the Beta Xbox app from the store and use the Xbox wireless dongle for my Xbox One S controller. The computer has registered the controller in Device Manager fine and works streaming to my Xbox One S perfectly
    fine however at least once during a stream the controller will stop working, the controller's light is still on and if I stop the stream and restart it the controller then starts to work again.

    Time frame I would say 10-15mins roughly before it stops working, the batteries are fully charged. I've not yet tried a stream with the controller connected by USB yet.

    similar issue. xbox light remains on and shows connected but controller is unresponsive, only solution is to shut down and reboot. Problem is that the problem does not go away. Any thoughts?

    Hey there BlindBoyGrunt68 and NITRO 187.

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble with controller disconnects. If a power cycle only provides a temporary solution you may want to test a different controller to see if there is any change. If you have any USB devices plugged into your Xbox One also try
    removing those to see if there is any change.

    If you're still having trouble please create a new thread, as this particular thread is over a year old. Thank you Xbox One controller randomly stops working mid-game :)

    Xbox One controller on PC Suddenly stops working

    I'm having similar issues with my xbox one controller connected through usb on my windows 10 pc. The controller just stops working mid-game. If I alt-tab out and into the program is starts working again but quickly stop working. When testing the buttons
    using the xbox accessories app - test mode shows no buttons being pressed. Not sure what's going on. Let me know if you found a solution. Thanks.
