Xbox button not powering on controller

I just got a new Xbox one controller v2, but it won't turn on when I press the Xbox button.

When I connect the USB cable it starts and works just fine, I can even remove the cable once the controller is up and running and it maintains its connection to my Xbox. But as soon as I turn it of I need the USB cable to "jump start" the controller again.

The Xbox button and everything works as intended after I turned on the controller (with the cable), it just doesn't work as an "on switch" for the controller.

It is updated to the latest firmware and I've tried different batteries.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Try a new controller. If it happens with that controller only, replace it.

Thanks. The problem is just with this controller. But since the button works after I turned it on it seems like a software problem that could possibly be fixed (by a smarter person than me) without needig to replace it. Perhaps
