Xbox should not be having these issues in 2024 smh.

[@xoild356]

FR this just happend to me and i have to use a charger😭

[@Mod_Kaos]

I know I just got a series x about a month ago I already had problems with not connecting to Wi-Fi now this happens

[@xoild356]

@@Mod_Kaos do you have this problem where you turn on your Xbox but for whatever reason it doesn’t connect to the internet automatically so you have to restart the Xbox sometimes?

[@SupraH4]

My controller turns on the Xbox but I can't select anything does that mean it's broken?

[@xoild356]

@@SupraH4 idk bc I’ve never experienced that before

[@ashlynwhite3815]

Literally the only how to video on RUclips that I’ve seen in a long time that actually works. Just resetted my Xbox and my controller started working after multiple failed connections. Thank you!

[@nathanlollar4728]

Mine is connected but the buttons don’t work such as A B X Y

[@Gatomoew300]

Bro thanks i had a mini heart attack all i had to do was pair the xbox controller and the xbox together and it worked u earned a new subscriber just for that man you a real one ❤

[@alphamarine4784]

Thank you so much for this information, I was scared when I couldn’t use my controller. You are a godsend to those in need. Hope you have a great day and a better week.

[@thisguy5837]

We looked up a few different ways to fix it and nothing worked. We followed all the instructions, and the third solution worked. Thank you!

[@themightyant.]

Thank you. Controller weirdly stopped connecting after a battery change and had to power cycle the whole box to get it to work. Thorough video.

[@user-bw4qp3ec2v]

Was about to sent my controller to the bottom of my fish tank until I did the hard reset n unplugged my Xbox thank you!

[@marioripani173]

since I didn't find any video that showed my case I hope that the comment can be useful to someone, my problem wasn't the connection, the pad was connected, stable light and it also turned on the Xbox remotely, it just didn't work in no way after the xbox turned on, disconnect the batteries, put them back in, etc... nothing worked, I tried removing the power cable for 60 seconds and everything went back to normal, thanks

[@user-qg1fg8kk7l]

Thanks bro that was exactly what I needed to do

[@Itsyourboy_izaiah]

Thanks the resetting the Xbox and taking all the cords out it helped it work. Thank you so much.

[@dashoot99]

Thank you! Unplugging the Series S for 60 seconds fixed it.

[@mingus3515]

my xbox has the controller "connected" like i can turn on and off the console from the controller this whole time but it just does nothing, i cant control anything so im stuck on the account select screen

[@jaedynleblanc5089]

very happy

[@walkingolga6235]

it’s so annoying that this happens so often. i “update” my controllers when necessary yet this happens frequently.
makes no sense how one of the most expensive game consoles can constantly have issues getting the controller to connect.

[@Jandos47]

I just bought a new controller and it won’t connect to to my Xbox even with a usb type c , it just vibrates and turns off
