  2. Xbox controller on pc disconnects everytime I move it

    So, I connected my Xbox one controller to my PC using the wire that came with the elite controller. (I am not using the Elite controller on the PC because it would not work.) I used it to play Flight Simulator X. It has been working for 4 months now, but
    just recently I have been having problems. Whenever I move the controller, it disconnects from the computer, but does not disconnect from the USB. So I push it back in, but then it disconnects again. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? (Also,
    I would prefer not to buy another controller or wire )

  3. 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    If the controller keeps disconnecting when you use it on an Xbox One console, it may be due to outdated controller firmware.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
    Xbox One Wireless Controller disconnects or can't connect
    for more troubleshooting solutions that you may perform.

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