When an xbox one controller won't connect, it usually manifests in one of the following ways:

Xbox one controller won't turn on console. When going to the controller section on xss it doesn't display there either. Unplug thepower cord from the console, waitafew. New batteries (actually, an official microsoft rechargeable pak), so that is not the issue.

Hi joostjansen85, thanks for your post. You can try updating the firmware of the controller: Navigate to devices & connections > accessories.

If your xbox one wireless controller is powered by two aa batteries. Keep any headsets connected to the controller. Let's shut down the xbox one system completely.

Only 2 buttons work, the power on button ( but not power off) and the sync button makes it blink. Yes, i can push the button on the console itself but that's beside the point. Every other controller vibrates and turns on when.

This step will clear out any mismatched signals. Select the controller that doesn't work. Unplug the power cord from the console.

I understand you're experiencing an issue with the xbox one console not maintaining a connection to your controllers. For this, hold thepowerbutton for 10 secondsand wait for it to turn off. Try using the controller via usb.
