Alright, here's the deal: remove the batteries from your controller, wait about 10-15 seconds, then pop 'em back in. If that doesn’t do the trick, try turning off the console and disconnecting it from power for a few minutes. After that, reconnect everything and see if it behaves!

Easiest way? Just hold the Xbox button on the controller for 10 seconds until it turns off. Then press it again to restart.

If you've got a USB cable handy, connect it to your console and controller, then hold the Xbox button for about 5-10 seconds to reset the connection. Works like a charm!
