Xbox Stops Responding to Controller

Hi there,

I had this problem as well last year it is a very rare bug in the console system what splved it for me is a hardboot of the console and taking out the batteries, hardboot it by holding the xbox buttom on the console until it shuts down than after 5 sec take
the power cablenout just to be sure, when booting the console up connect your xbox controller via usb with it if it doesn't work try it with the connection buttom on the controller (located next to the charging port) and the same buttom on the console (located
next to the front usb)

Holf the buttpm on the controler first till it blinks and than hold the console buttom until your controller reconnects.

Hope this could help you

Best Regards



Edit: also check if there is an Controller Update.

I would try to update them on another console. I would try them on said console or a pc with a blu tooth connection. If they work, I would try once more to use on the console. If still a problem, try doing a factory reset and see if maybe driver corrosion
is the issue. Good luck!

Hey there,

Since you said you’ve had the Xbox for several years, is this an original Xbox one or an Xbox one S? And I’m just making sure I got this clearly down, your controller or any other controller and it does the same thing on your console, correct? Have you tried
your controller on another system to see if it works properly
