Xbox One Controller Stops Responding.

An0n Gr1malkin · May 24, 2019

Okay, so I have a new Xbox One Wireless Controller. Every time I get on my Xbox One now, it will be paired and fine. Then I get to playing a game. A few minutes in, my controller stops working. The game is still running, just my controller won’t let me
play. The home button light is still on but when I click the buttons, nothing happens. Nothing works but when I restart my xbox/unplug it and plug it back in (even after that, it will still “Disconnect” mid-game. Or if it works for hours on end, any time i
turn of my xbox one and turn it back on, it stops working again.) I have tried two different controllers and even used a USB to see if it had updates (which it didn’t) or to just play wired up. It didn’t work and it still became unresponsive. I’m wondering
if I need to buy a new Xbox One. Many people are experiencing this same problem and it just keeps happening. I don’t know how to fix it and it seems hopeless.

Hi there,

I had this problem as well last year it is a very rare bug in the console system what splved it for me is a hardboot of the console and taking out the batteries, hardboot it by holding the xbox buttom on the console until it shuts down than after 5 sec take
the power cablenout just to be sure, when booting the console up connect your xbox controller via usb with it if it doesn't work try it with the connection buttom on the controller (located next to the charging port) and the same buttom on the console (located
next to the front usb)

Holf the buttpm on the controler first till it blinks and than hold the console buttom until your controller reconnects.

Hope this could help you

Best Regards

Edit: also check if there is an Controller Update.

I would try to update them on another console. I would try them on said console or a pc with a blu tooth connection. If they work, I would try once more to use on the console. If still a problem, try doing a factory reset and see if maybe driver corrosion
is the issue. Good luck!

Hey there,

Since you said you’ve had the Xbox for several years, is this an original Xbox one or an Xbox one S? And I’m just making sure I got this clearly down, your controller or any other controller and it does the same thing on your console, correct? Have you tried
your controller on another system to see if it works properly
