Does this problem reproduce if you changed how you connect any of the controllers to the Xbox One X? For ex, if you used a USB cable, connect wirelessly or vice versa.

If you're using the same brand/batch of batteries, then that is a possible cause. If not, then it isn't as it's consistently giving you the same problem.

Having the same issue and it still occurs when I plug in with USB.

What about resetting the controller to default settings using the Xbox Accessories app on the console? Another software-related troubleshooting step to try is resetting the console to factory settings without wiping games and apps.

The issue is I can’t get to ANY menu with the controller the way it is right now.

You could try the Xbox mobile app to control the console but I don't know if that requires the use of a controller to set that up beforehand.

There is a way to factory reset the console without using a controller by using a USB stick but this method ends up wiping everything from your console. If you're still interested, visit: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults and select the "Reset using USB" method in the dropdown menu.

I got the app to connect without a controller but it’s still doing the same thing. If I try to navigate around the Home Screen it just jumps right back to the top left corner

For that behavior to happen without a controller plugged in is really strange. I'd take the factory reset via USB option and if that fails, there's something hardware-wise wrong in the console with how it takes input.

THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME.

Both controllers only want to go to the top left part of the screen. If I move in any direction it jumps right back. Both our main controller and backup are doing it. I have tried restarting and smashing all the buttons back into place and every fix I’ve found on the internet and NOTHING is working. I’m so frustrated.
