Guys if you are unable to solve the problem with the update, you may have one of the mystery defective controllers that were produced. if it is still returnable I would recommend exchanging it. ITs sad for something so costly to be riddled with issues.

This was *EXACTLY* what I needed. the only thing you might want to specify is to turn the controller off before you plug it in or it won't detect it properly in the app

Perfect fix, thank you! I was so worried my new controller was broken, and so excited I had found it in purple!

no update available, problem hasnt gone. someone please help

Tested the controller after the firmware update you suggested and it’s works with a solid connection 🎉

I did need an update for all of my controllers, but it didn't fix the issue, ours disconnect even when using the official Microsoft adapter too. I think maybe it's a Windows 11 issue because they didn't do this until we upgraded.

I updated my firmware but it didn't fix anything, it keeps disconnecting and having delays

Thanks for the video, I had to do 3 things in order to get my controller not to disconnect. First i update my bluetooth drivers, then I update the firmware in my controller just like you showed me. After that I still had problems with bad connection and disconnecting and I realize I had to plug in my antenna for my motherboard. Now works like a charm!

This is the final solution for bluetooth keeps disconnects; Great finding on how to firmware update the controller.

you are legend! took me a year to fix this and because of your video it worked!!!

this seems to have worked. i had updated the firmware before without it working. but after updating the firmware, disconnecting the controller on the bluetooth screen, then repairing it seems to get it to work. thank you! Edit: I might have spoken too soon. It is still disconnecting some, but it does seem less. really not sure what to make of it.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CLUTCH BEST KZfaqRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GIBBYS TECH YOU JUST GAINEED A VIEWER

What if I've already updated the firmware before watching this video? I'm facing a similar issue now, it gets disconnected with just a slight movement.

Did not work. Controller is up to date. Windows is up to date. Controller is completely unusable wireless. Bluetooth disconnects in seconds and then does so repeatedly as it cycles between connected, connecting and disconnected.

Updating my controller firmware through the app indeed fixed my disconnection issues; thanks a lot for the video!

Updating the firmware fixed it for me, thank you! Crazy how following the product instructions doesn't work

I think what many youtubers are failing to tell you all is that if you have something like another pc or xbox that searches for bluetooth devices then your controller will disconnect a lot.

Thank you very much bro! I do this and my xbox controller working like a charm! Just like before im upgrading my bluetooth dongle to 5.3 one! You are a hero man, god bless you!

Finally something that worked! Thank you!

Finally found a valid solution to my disconnecting controller issue that actually works. Thanks for sharing this one with us mate 😉Ended up updating my Xbox Wireless Headset as well 😁

Awesome man, easy to understand, worked great, thanks!

I happened to stumble across this video in the very beginning of my search.. I think I love you . {in a professional way } you saved me hours of delete , add and delete

only problem is my controller won't stay on when plugged in with a usb-c, it just flashes and doesnt turn on. not sure the issue. it'll constantly flash but not fully stay on, any tips for this is appreciated, thank you btw it connects via bluetooth but not with usb-c

Hello there I am on windows 11 and unfortunately I had this problem too. Ive downloaded the app and I was very happy when it updated the controller. I was very sure that the problem was solved but unfortunately it keeps disconnecting. Any leads?? The controller is even flashing twice now when it disconnects.

**Solved Solution: I have added the WiFi 6E (additional antenna on my mb) it looks like it's also the bluetooth antena! Hello all, Sadly mine is still not working even with Bluetooth 5.3 (motherboard) I did exactly as you mentioned in the video but stil when i move the controller 30cm away from the PCi it disconnects and connects back, or nothing at all... In the Xbox accessories software it doesn't show any other update (there was 1 that I did installed as you mentioned in the video)so I guess I ended up with a faulty controller i guess! Any reccomendations here would be lovely! *Good to mention that I bought the controller today so I can just return it back tomorrow for a replacement (store policy)

My firmware is up to date and it's still doing this.. I can't believe I paid $200 for a controller that can't stay connected. I guess I'll return it.

I updated the controllers via usb c cable from the same app as yo mention but they still continue disconnecting randomly, less frequently as before. I am using an Asus usb bluetooth to connect them. Finally I fix it buying official Microsoft pc adapter for controllers.

going to test it thank you!! very frustrating problem for a brand new expensive controller

Thank you so much!! It worked right away. My controller did disconnect once but instantly reconnected where before it would disconnect and just sit there blinking mid game.

Man YOU ARE GREAT!!! Its exact as you said it! Thanks very very very very much!!!

I tried everything you said but nothing worked. My solution was go to Device Manager, Bluetooth, and remove all driver controllers. Then Windows update to correct version for my PC. Now the Xbox One Controller appear immediately on Bluetooth search and I can add to PC.

thank you so much for the help. youtube saves me once again

Thanks for the help. Worked perfectly!

I just had to delete my Xbox controller device from the Bluetooth device list from my PC and pair it again and it worked for me

This fixed my problem, thanks for the vid.

i've also bought the windows 10 adapter with the controller combo, everything is updated , but the problem still occurs. I have this problem ONLY with the series x controllers, i have two old xbox one controllers and they work perfectly fine.

Still helping in 2023 thanks friend

Problem 1 - controller turns off as soon as it pairs. Solved using your method, got it to Bluetooth pair but not tried the 2.4ghz yet 2. Accessories update stuck at 0%.........

thanks for the video. did the firmware update. no luck tho, still loses connection while playing, especially in menus on forza. seems less so while driving, which is weird to say the least. issue started a month or so ago. i had no issues at all with the controller for the last year. so weird.

I've updated Windows I've updated firmware Still disconnecting.

We had the same issue, downloaded the app, connected with a micro USB (guess the newer ones are USB-C), and I did have to manually run an update. It didn’t pop up with “update” but my guess is the newer ones do, we have an XBOX One X and haven’t needed to purchase a control in a while so my guess is it’s an updated setup with the newer controllers. Either way, it fixed ours so I’m running through ALL the controllers now!!! Crazy for this secret accessories app, why they don’t have it download automatically is beyond me. Or just integrate it into the XBOX app altogether. But hey, luckily it worked for us and for now…hopefully it stays that way! Also, when I went to add a new device, I had to disconnect from the computer, then held the pair button down, it finds it in the normal list but the pop up in the lower right corner from my guess is that new app picks it up right away like a driver update/download kind of box and asks to add it, then it’s done. Go back to the list and it shows up as a Bluetooth device! Much appreciated!!!

THAAAAAAANK YOU VERY MUCH! Finally something that works!

Thank you for this I really needed this since I play Assassin's creed 4 Black Flag

it is not a firmware issue, i have updated everything and still it doesnt work.

My issue is every xbox controllers even series 2, will rapidly reconnect and disconnect instead of staying connected.

My controller is stuck on " other devices" in Bluetooth in my device manager it seems in Bluetooth is not there but. I cant enter paring mode

bruh. this is how to fix it?? i dont even know what it fixed but its working properly now! thx alot bro

What a guy! 10/10 would recommend!

Thanks man - I kept getting disconnecting randomly in game and it would cause me to die in match, so frustrating. So I was checking out all the fixed EXCEPT update the firmware. This is hopefully the answer bc I did have an update waiting for me but time will tell if it disconnects or not. Thank you!

I have the opposite happening. I can connect through Bluetooth although it loses at times. I cant connect with my usb to usb c cable the controller came with. It was working fine up until about a month ago. Any suggestions

The quickest way is to use a type c to type c cored from the new iPhone or iPad and it automatically allowed me to click the configure on the xbox accessories app on my pc the click update.

Work first time bro Thanks

Yes, seems to work. Thx mate.

The USB C cord doesn't work on one of my controllers, it works on the other one though, it just flashes white slowly and won't connect with the cord, aby ideas?

Guys even if says no update is needed you should update it you might have corrupted firmware 😊

Just forgetting device in the bluetooth settings and reconnecting, it worked!! I had like 4 xbox controllers listed in there from using other peoples controllers. I wonder if that was screwing it up.

Every video on youtube advice to do the same thing, and I did it since I got it, but the same thing keeps happening. It keeps disconnected, I already tried it on my android and it doesnt disconnect.

found that having a external hard drive sat on top of my series s caused this to happen aswell, had me stumped for a while but eventually figured it out and sat it behind instead and no problems since

after return 2 controllers, your solution was what I need it. Hard to understand how using a microsoft windows I can't update de controller using cmd/device manager.... but I need another app...curious aswell hopw the shop took 2 controller back instead of being aware of this issue XD. Thank you boss.

The X turned blue and ever since then it’s randomly disconnecting from PC. There’s an xbox nearby so I assume it has to do with it.

Hey gibby, sorry to ask silly question, I had an wireless xbox 360 controller for pc, the usb c cable you are reffering is the charging cable ? si that correct? or there is another cable for this? thx a lot

It worked, man, thanks!

holy shit i love you man

It help out with the frequency of drops. However I still have this issue. It’ll drop for 5 seconds or so then after it reconnects itself the controller will have serious lag. I’m just reverting to playing it with a usb. I’m tired of playing my games and it drops out on me during a boss fight or parkour. I have origin pc with windows 11 and a Xbox elite series 2 controller. So much money and my shit is still ghetto.

Thanks. Worked on the Legion Go.

mine is an xbox elite controller it was working for years up until yesterday, now as soon as i turn it on it connects then turns off. i tried wired connection. the controller is detected i can run diagnostics and the pc detects the analogue inputs as well as the buttons. but it wont switch the the games now. this is really starting to piss me off

i already did that and i only play in usb cable without youtube but i still have the controller disconnect all the time

My Xbox controller suddenly dies even when it's wired

Good looking. This method worked for me.

THIS WORKS! GIBBEEEH!!!!

Problem is still happening after update.

I have an old xbox one controller that wont stay working for a minute, but the pc recognizes it.

THANK YOU! SAVED MY LIFE

I was even diconnecting with a wired connection. This fixed it. Thanks!!

Dont you think if i had a USBC, I would use it instead of searching the internet?

Damn. I thought I found a solution. Still not working for me. I keep losing connection and the XBOX logo on the controller flashes. I've tried with the XBOX dongle and with the onboard bluetooth without the dongle connected.

works like a treat! thanks!

This happens to me and the controller latency is nuts 😢

i dropped a like it worked for me thank you

It worked!!!! Thanks

Nothing pop off man im connecting the controller to pc with usb and its still on connect device nothing happening ...

Thanks for this!

What if it doesn’t pick up my controller at all with the usbc cord? But it picks it up on my Xbox

nice tattoo. crouching tiger, hidden dragon

when my controller turns off it doesnt reconnect, i have to do a full restart. any idea how to fix this?

Still not working for me. It's clashing with my Bluetooth speakers

I still have problems staying connected when I try to play a game on steam

It won’t let me remove the device. I keep getting failed to remove

I updated I am going to see if it works today! I am playing on a Scuf & I have it wired. Planning to move to wireless!

Jep drivers. Hadn't updated in like a year. Will check if it stays alright for now

I did that and keeps doing the same thing

Its still connecting and disconnecting I'm sort of confused.

Appreciate the video brotha

so what if I already have xbox accesories installed?

Legend!

thanks bro from 2023

Thank you sir

Did this and it's still disconnecting periodically for me

It keeps doing this even after firmware update.

Thanks this helped me out
