When I play games with the 360 controller , it will randomly shut off in game and it'll keep shooting or going in circles and when I reconnect the controller it'll work for about 1 minute and do the same thing

Example : I was just in rocket league and the controller decided to randomly shut off in game and my car kept going in circles , when I tried to reconnect the controller , it went on for about 30 seconds of gameplay and then my car controlled itself , I could not do anything with the controller

No lights flashing on controller , no nothing it looked completely fine and was detected , but I could not have any control in game.

Have you tried using a different USB port? Maybe the controller is not getting enough power from that USB port.

I've tried that several times , also , I can not install .net framework 3.5 I've tried alot of different things and can't install it no matter what. Some games require it and the drivers for the controller require it. Maybe it's win10

I'm using Windows 10 and also use a wired Xbox 360 controller without issues, but my Windows 10 is also up to date. Have you manually checked for Windows updates?

Yeah I just did that , A simple restart fixed the controller I can now use it. But it happens randomly.

Oh okay, sorry. There might be issue with cables being broken in that wired part. I'm not sure tho. Does it happen when you move your controller?
