Can't use Xbox controller after booting the device- Meta Quest 2

[AnimeKing18]

I Love the quest 2 every time I boot it up there's a new issue. I use to be able to use my xbox controller with side loaded emulators and gamepass via the oculus browser now the xbox controller when in use will navigate the quest 2 with a dot. The issue with that is now my emulators wont see the controller and gamepass wont see the controller it basically took what use I had for it (being my laptop) and threw it out the door

Hey there! I was wondering if you can check the firmware update on your Xbox Gamepad? 

Requirements: Windows PC, Xbox gamepad, USB cable

From the Windows Store, install the Xbox Accessories app.

Then go to the update section (push the ... button) and it should say the version at the top of the screen.

You’ll need to connect your controller via USB.
If your controller is out of date, it might not show you the version without first updating.

You likely don't want to update if you only have one gamepad.

Please let me know when you get this!

The controller is up to date but the controller still isn't being detected by gamepass nor my emulators I don't get it use too the controller would only connect in supported applications like the web browser emulators and supported vr games now I can control the quest with my Xbox controllers but now it won't work with the gamepass web portal nor my emulators anymore and here's the firmware version my controller is running

I am having the same exact issue I do know a while back that I was able to use my Xbox Sirius x controller via Bluetooth without any issues whatsoever now there is this like Dot everywhere I look this dot is following me and I can't use the controller in the browser or anything else it kind of works but it kind of doesn't I just want to get rid of this dot which seems to be like a pointer or a mouse it's very annoying this is something that never happened before and no I'm not going to reset my device

I have finally got a solution to this annoying problem and can now use the gamepad via Bluetooth in anything, especially gamepass. Heck I don't even need the app anymore, the browser should now just work. That stupid head tracking mode. Why hasn't anyone at Oculus told us about this...

So for the longest time, I have had this dot problem, head tracking dot as soon as I Bluetooth connect the Xbox controller. Couldn't play side loaded game pass and stuff, well I finally figured it out. I knew it had to be some sort of combo cause I would go nuts and it would work. So here it is.

If you try to use the Xbox Controllers via Bluetooth and after pairing you get a white dot that follows your head, you can use it in that mode to load up what you want but when you say load a Game pass game it does not recognize you when you hit the a button well here's the fix put the Oculus controllers down and on the Xbox controller hit the start button and the select button basically the one right next to the x and the one right next to the left controller if you hold those two buttons and you put them together they switch between the modes, one mode you get that dot which tracks with the head and the other is normal , am now playing again in gamepass with my gamepad again! yay. 

So all that time that's what's been bothering me those two freaking buttons have to be pressed together and they switch the Xbox controller into the one mode where it's tracking with your head and then the other mode where it's normally like the controller where you can hit the a button and so forth unbelievable so I cannot play a game pass again no problem hope this helps someone else been driving me nuts for a long time.

Thank you. That worked. I wish the support rep would have told me that.
