Xbox360 Controller Manager

One of the drawbacks of using an Xbox 360 controller on your PC is that the device cannot be turned off manually; you have to wait for it to power off on its own, which causes the battery to be drained quicker than you would like.

Xbox360 Controller Manager is a small, unobtrusive utility that provides you with a simple solution – it runs in the system tray and enables you to turn off your gamepads using the Guide button, supporting up to four devices.

Installation isn’t a requirement, as the program is distributed in the form of a single executable file that can be launched from any location on your PC. Moreover, it won’t leave anything behind when you stop using it.

Since Xbox360 Controller Manager only runs in the system tray, you don’t have to worry about it interfering with anything. If you add it to the startup list, you can just forget about it altogether.

Users who own Xbox One gamepads know that they are very easy to power off – just keep the Guide button pressed for a few seconds and you can turn them off at any time. This application brings a similar feature to your Xbox 360 devices, allowing you to switch them off manually.

It is important to note that this application may not function correctly if the Game DVR feature is enabled in Windows 10. To be sure there are no issues, you should disable it from the Xbox application or Windows settings.

Overall, Xbox360 Controller Manager may be just the thing for gamers who wish to be able to turn off their gamepads at any time. It is very unobtrusive and can be used with up to four controllers at once.
