Xbox turns back on after shut down and controllers don’t work

also, don’t tell me this either i have tried completely shutting down my xbox and turning it back on.

Power cycling didn't help at all. It shut down fine the first time, but after starting it back up, the controller would not shut off with the console or turn the console back on.

I had a problem with mine as well. My bundled headset wouldn't work and after plugging in and unplugging it a couple times, my controller completely stopped working. I turned everything off, then unplugged the power for the console to make sure it was completely
shut down. Then when turning it back on, the controller worked again.

Someone posted a similar problem a while back. It seems it was the shut down preferences that were set. They had their system set to shut down after a certain amount of non use time. When their wireless controller shut off (during the movie) the console
recognized that as not in use and proceeded with the shut down.

Perhaps take a look at your preferences and see if you have it set up to shut down after an amount of time. If so, either increase the time or turn the auto shut down off.

Hey there. I don't know if you've tried this, but in the past when my Xbox refused to communicate with my PC, a hard reset fixed it. To do this, go to Settings, Power, Turn Xbox off. Wait until it is fully shut down, and turn it back on and try again after
a few minutes. If that doesn't work, do the same thing, but unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 2 minutes after it is shut down and then try again.
