does this fix work?

When you connect via USB, where are you connecting to? xbox or wall outlet. If it works with wall outlet, it's likely the controller itself only. If it works only if plugged to the xbox, it's something about the wifi communication between the two.


For anyone dusting off their consoles, PSN now and xbox game pass are excellent options to try a bit of everything for a month or two before settling on considering purchasing a specific game. It's like Netflix streaming/rental of a ton of full games at a reasonable price.

PSN now and Game pass don't really make sense for someone who has a reasonable personal library built up already though IMO.
It stays connected when using usb with the Xbox but not wirelessly. I bought some long USB cables and I'm now resigned to just using it that way. It became too frustrating to try and troubleshoot this anymore unfortunately.
