If you are a member of the Xbox Preview Program, I recommend you update your Xbox One controller(s) with the latest preview build (OS version > 1502.150120) which provides the following updates:

•Quick Connect – previous controller connections to an Xbox One took 4-5 seconds when powering on a controller, now they should occur in ~2 seconds

•Stability improvements – the firmware also provides a number of fixes that address issues submitted by customers and preview participants

To update your controller firmware:

Connect a controller to your Xbox One with a USB cable. Keep any headsets connected to the controller.

Connect to Xbox Live.

Press the Menu

Go to Settings > Devices & accessories . Select the controller. If you have multiple controllers attached, you can select Buzz – which will cause the selected controller to vibrate.

> . Select the controller. Then select Update to download the new firmware to the controller attached via the USB cable, and the screen will show the Updating controller … progress screen
