    XBox One controllers on PC connect then immediately turn off.


    The other day I was playing a game on my PC with my XBox One Elite Wireless controller connected to my PC using an official XBox One Wireless Adapter for Windows. Now for some reason every time I try to connect any XB-One controller to my PC it will flash
    on, connect (The xbox logo light will dim) then it will immediately shut the controller completely off. This does not happen on my XBox one console. The controller will stay lit and i can use it regularly. Nor does this happen when I connect any of the aforementioned
    controllers to my PC via a USB cable. Did my adapter just break? I've tried removing the drivers completely for the controller and the adapter and reinstalling them. The most recent thing I installed right before I noticed the issue was Tom Clancy's The Division
    which also installed the UPlay Launcher (Tried uninstalling it to no avail) I've also tried multiple USB Ports on my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Xbox one turns on then immediately off

    My Xbox one will turn on then immediately off. I’ve tried three different power supplies and they all give the same result. I’ve tried plugging it into a different wall and a different socket and this gives the same result. I’ve seen very outdated posts
    like these and was wondering if this issue has been resolved here recently.

    Please disregard this post. Rebooting the computer fixed the issue. (I'm a 15 year computer technician and didn't think to do that first... EPIC Rookie Mistake *Facepalm*)

    Xbox series controller turns on XBOX automatically after I disconnect from PC USB

    good work around but i am still surprised the controller is not turning off when holding the xbox button, as all my controller do and they are a mix of xbox one controllers and series controllers. regardless if connected via wireless or usb to the pc.

    Hello @Felho Infurnus, I hope everything is going well for you!

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

    I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

    According to the explanation you have provided, please make sure to follow the following steps in order to fix your issue.

    You will need first to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

    Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

    Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

    The last option would be for you to try and request a replacement for your controller from the microsoft website online.

    Xbox Support

    If nothing from the steps above help you resolve the issue please try to contact the Live Support in case you are the replacement is not successful from your side.

    Xbox Support
