Windows 10: Xbox One Controller disconnects after Windows restart or is turned off/on

Hello,


I've been playing on my WIndows 10 PC with my Xbox One S Controller for years


Now, after the latest windows 10 update 2004 whenever I restart or turn off and on again my PC, the Xbox controller won't turn on is always wire connected so I need to un-plug and plug again the USB cable in order to make it work again.


In the past, no matter what I did, the controller was always on and ready to game.


Is this known issue? anyone else experience this?


Thanks

:)

 

Xbox One Wireless controller keeps disconnecting

After reading some replies on here, there seem to be a lot of various theories. I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you, but I can confirm that exiting Steamworked for me. The problem is very repeatable.

• Connect and disconnect controller
• Sleep and wake up system
• Xbox One Wireless controller connects (as shown in the "Game Controllers" panel) and disconnects within 2 seconds.
• Exit Steam
• Xbox One Wireless controller connects and works.
• Restart Steam (controller still works)
• Disconnect Xbox One Wireless controller, then connects and disconnects within 2 seconds.

I'm narrowing my problem down to the Big Picture mode, so that problem is for another forum...

Hopefully this workaround helps a few people before the real solution is found.

your controller by following the steps below:

• Power off the controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button on the controller for 6 seconds.
• Press the Xbox button again to power it back on.
• Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller to your PC using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
