Xbox Series X controller suddenly becomes unresponsive

ItaiBarel · Jun 5, 2021

Hey,

I have a problem with both of my Xbox Series X controllers which just become totally unresponsive at some random point while playing. It happened to me both in AC Valhalla and Forza 4.

While the problem happens the light on the controller and console remains lit and steady (not blinking) but doesn’t matter on what I press on the controller itself it just doesn’t seem to register on the console. Even trying to press the Xbox logo on the controller for 10 seconds to shut it off won’t do anything (and the controller light is still lit, it won’t turn off).

The only solutions I have found was either to connect the controller to the console via usb c cable or shut down the console.

I must state that both controllers are updated and the console itself is updated to the latest version.

Does anyone have a similar issue with the controllers?

Thanks

:)

I have issues as well. Can't play with controller more than a few minutes. It suddenly hangs and become unresponsive and game crashes without any error messages.

Same issue here just the one x controller has the issue, my elite and other controller seem to work fine.

So for sure the controller played find for multiple hours with old controller but as soon as I turn one the project scorpio controller start having issues. It will become unresponsive within a few minutes, 8f i leave it alone starts responding again after
a few minutes but become unresponsive if I try to use it. Any update if this will be fixible by patch? Or do I need to request replacement.

I can finally get in to the mods section as well as start or load a new game, but the menus are still heavily difunctionally, becoming unresponsive. Once a game is loaded, it runs like butter on my Series X though...

STILL needs fixed

I have same problem. Already went through three Xbox One Xs. Latest build 1711 did not fix it.

Ok....i read something and cant try it now but wanna share it with you: Put your Xbox directly into the wall power plug and NOT into a multiple power cable (We say Steckerleiste in Germany) should fix it!! Some users say it works on Facebook.

Maybe give it a go......?!

Already tried that. Didn’t work either.
