Console not turning on with controller

Hey there Art! I assume you're using a wireless controller here. Unfortunately there isn't a way that I'm aware of to disable the controller waking the console when turned on. When you take it to your computer, you could briefly unplug your console from
power. The only other option I'd have to give is to pick up a second controller, either another wireless one for your console, or a new wired one for your PC. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with, thanks!

The console physically restarts whenever I turn it off. The controllers turn off with the console. By phantom controller I meant that my console shows a controller being connected despite my two controllers being turned off.

Connect your controller by cable first. Turn on console... Then turn it off with controller and try to turn it on with controller. It should work

Hey there Ashford! Is your controller wireless? If so, your controller may not be synced properly with the console anymore. Try turning the console on with the physical button, then try syncing your controller by pressing the sync button on the console and
controller. Once they sync up again, turn your console off and try turning it on with the controller. Let me know the result of this, thanks!

so say no controller is on the dock, and i hold the xbox button on the controller, select turn off console....will that power the console back on, or will the controller turn off? When i am having this problem, the console and the controller both turn off,
and then only the console logo lights back up, not the controller, if that helps clear up my issue, thanks 24hrs2live.
