ugh. this is driving me crazy. My older Xbox One controller drops when i sit on teh couch and teh console shows:

Controller disconnected
Reconnect the wireless controller to continue.
Press the home button on the controller,
or connect it with a USB cable.
It happens on my Xbox One in every game. A wired USB connection works perfectly, sooo its smth wireless. Id rather not buy a new contrloler if its a setting. What should i check?
its especially bad in competitive games where a few seconds of disconnect mean losing a round. A cable works, but Id love to be wireless again. any ideas??
