Just go to the Xbox console, press and hold the Pair button on your controller for a few seconds until the Xbox button starts flashing. Release the button, and it’ll reset the connection. Easy peasy!

Pull out the batteries, put 'em back in, and voila! Sometimes the old-school power cycle works wonders.

Honestly, if you're having too many issues, just update the controller firmware through the settings on your Xbox. Sometimes it’s just a matter of software.

I've always just held down the Xbox button on the controller for about 10 seconds to turn it off completely, then pressed it again to turn it back on. This usually fixes any weird issues.
