    Xbox One controllers won't stay connected to the console?


    My Xbox One controllers won't stay connected to my console. Initially they connect, but after a few button presses they disconnect, and rarely reconnect, flashing for a few seconds before turning off. This issue is affecting both of my controllers, and is present even when the controllers are plugged into the console. Both controllers are up to date. The batteries are new. I have tried a hard reset on both the controllers and the console. I'm still able to control the console using my phone through the Xbox app, and havent noticed any other performance issues with the console. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

    :)

    Controllers don’t stay connected or will connect to my Xbox one s

    It won't even stay sync even when connected to the console?

    Do you have another controller to test? Or do you know anyone else with an Xbox One where you could try your controller on their console?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Griffindor67, if you have a USB cabe, try t follow the procedures bellow.

    First remove the batteries from the controller and for 1 minute keep pressing all the buttons on the controller and moving the knobs.

    After you're done, plug the USB cable controller into your console and turn it on.

    Look for controller updates in the Xbox accessories part, if you have an update available, do it.

    Then clear the cache on the console and check if the control has any updates to be made.

    1. Go to the Xbox press and hold the XBOX power button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off

    2. Wait 10 seconds until it turns off

    3. Wait 1 minute with it off

    4. Turn it back on

    After the console restarts and I'm at the console start screen, put the batteries back in the controller, remove the USB cable and see if it back to normal.

    Same here. It will connect but it won't stay connected for very long. I have an Xbox One X but I'm sure the controller is the same.

    Hey there Pig!

    Sorry to hear that you're having problems with your controller.

    If I were you and if you haven't tried this yet, then I would suggest trying out the steps here on our support page entitled

    Troubleshoot your Xbox One wireless controller.
    It has a pathway specifically for if your controller disconnects randomly.

    When you get a chance, give that a shot and let us know how that helped out.

    Much Thanks !
