Controller connection

Hi,

If the controller keeps disconnecting when you use it on an Xbox One console, it may be due to outdated controller firmware. To resolve this issue, we suggest checking if there are updates available for the controller. Refer to

Update your Xbox One Controller for the steps.

In addition, keeping your console up-to-date can also help resolve connection issues with Xbox accessories. To manually update your console, kindly perform the following steps:

• Make sure your console is connected to the Internet, and then open the
  Guide and choose Settings > All settings.
• Select System > Updates > Update console.

If no update is available, your console is up-to-date.

See

Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to clear things up.
