    Xbox one s randomly won't power on from controller


    I've had my xbox one s for maybe 6 months now. I've had a random issue with powering it on using the controller. Sometimes if it's not used for a couple days the controller won't turn it on. Sometimes I cam play the night before and the next evening it
    won't turn on.

    Every time this happens I have to push the power button twice on the console to get it to turn on.

    I've tried the truck hiding in the power button to do a soft reset with no luck, I've even reset the whole console to defaults. Still happens. Ice verified there hasn't been any power outages or blips. I've replaced the surge protector with a new one,
    tried a different wall outlet.

    Whay else can I do?

    :)

    Xbox controller randomly won't be paired to xbox and won't turn xbox on

    I have had this issue for awhile now and haven't been able to solve it. Randomly (about 50% of the time) when I try to power on my xbox one by using my xbox controller (holding down the xbox icon), the xbox won't turn on. Then if I manually turn the xbox
    on then the controller won't be "paired" to the xbox again and it won't pair when i try to sync the xbox one and controller together. This problem won't go away until I hard reset the xbox.

    I have tried:

    1. A different controller

    2. Standing right next to xbox to avoid wifi frequency issues

    What else can I do? This is annoying.

    Hey there McSquirl Nugget.

    Surge protectors aren't supported and can cause issues such as the one you've described. Have you tested your Xbox One without a surge protector between the console and the wall outlet?

    yes. I unplugged it after I read your post Wednesday, it happened that evening. So its been plugged directly into a wall socket. I played it for a while after work today, and now 4 hours after I turned it off with the controller, once again I can't
    turn it back on with the controller.

    Xbox One S won't power on with controller

    Did you try that though ? The newer controllers work in the same way as the older controllers connection wise, bluetooth was added for connecting to a bluetooth enabled PC more than anything.

    Xbox One S won't power on with controller

    Hi Leon,

    Thanks for your post. To troubleshoot this, try a soft factory reset. This will keep your games and applications installed but reset the Xbox's operating system to defaults to eliminate any possible issues. Here's how to do so:

    Xbox One Factory Reset
    Be sure to keep your Microsoft account information ready to sign back into your account and choose
    "Reset and keep my games & apps" to properly perform a soft factory reset.

    Let us know how this goes, thanks again.
