My Xbox One has been working great for about a year. In the past week, the controller has started disconnecting every five or ten minutes. It takes about 20 seconds to reconnect. This happens with two different controllers in multiple games. The controller batteries are good.
Nothing has recently changed with my setup. I'm on a couch about eight feet directly in front of the Kinect. It has a clear line of sight.
Any theories on what could be going wrong?
