XBOX ONE X BETA - Controllers always disconnect only able to play with cable

Connecting the controller with a USB cable doesn't work,

Controller still disconnects even with a USB cable connected,

I have the same issue with Series X using mouse and keyboard for Call of Duty Vanguard.

I played during the beta and there was no problems with the controller disconnecting but as soon as the game released, the controller disconnects,

I've tried a Xbox One controller Series X controller, with batteries and a USB cable, and the controllers still disconnects.

When you connect a wireless controller to an Xbox via a cable, it not only works as a wired controller (i.e. the inputs are sent via the cable), it also syncs the controller to that console, so once that's done you can disconnect the cable and use it wirelessly.

I had the exact same issue with an Xbox One X, so I know for certain this works.

So, yeah, hook it up to your console via the USB cable, then once the power light on the controller is solid, just disconnect the cable.

I do not know if it works with other wireless devices, such as headsets, but it definitely works with controllers.

It sounds like 2 separate issues, One being the controller disconnects, and the other being the console disconnecting.

Are you able to plug your console into router with an Ethernet cable?

as for the controller issues

have you tried connecting the controller to the Xbox via cable?

Hi,

I suspect you're attempting to connect an Xbox 360 wireless controller to your PC using a Play & Charge cable? Effectively making it a wired controller?

I'm afraid this won't work. Unlike Xbox One/Series X controllers, wireless 360 controllers are always wireless, connecting a Play & Charge simply charges the battery or powers the controller if no battery is present. Unfortunately the cable doesn't send data.

The only way to connect these controllers to a PC is via an Xbox 360 gaming receiver. The receiver for Xbox one controllers is not compatible.

Hi

What Xbox controller is it?

If it's an old Xbox 360 Wireless controller, note that these controllers are always wireless. You can't make them wired with a Play and Charge. The P&C only provides power. You need an Xbox 360 gaming wireless receiver. Note: it must be the 360 gaming receiver, the Xbox One dongles are not compatible.

If your controller is an Xbox One or Series X|S controller, try a different cable. Not all USB A to USB C cables are capable of sending data and power, many are just charging cables.
