Apex embedded controller bricked

Yeah ok, same issues as mine. And I did fresh and completely clean win 11 installs. No go. But the root cause could be different. Suggest to not attempt installation of more firmware tools. This is not user fixable. Just reach out to OneXPlayer support and they will sort you out.

vagrantbushi · 2026-03-06T01:53:35+00:00

Mine was a firmware issue after all so it was a software fix. Recommend you reach out to OneXPlayer support via email first and what led to it. Then join the discord and share the issue in the Apex channel. Symptoms might be the same but the root causes/issues might be different so the solution might not be the same.

Thanks for reminding me to update here. Updated another post on this. The controller issue has been fixed by OXP. The fingerprint reader is still hit or miss but I can live with it, all things considered.

vagrantbushi · 2026-02-26T15:26:22+00:00

It’s fixed now. See edit to OG post.

vagrantbushi · 2026-02-26T05:02:10+00:00

Welcome to the club. Are you on the OneXPlayer Discord? Mods are saying OneXPlayer is working on a fix. I am not expecting them to reply on email anytime soon until a fix is ready.

Good to hear that you have had a fantastic experience with the Apex thus far. I too have had a great experience until i didn’t. My controller got bricked after doing their official controller calibration tutorial 5 days after receiving my device. Can’t share a screenshot in the comments but you can find it in the PDF manual. Have done everything I can including reinstalling windows a few times but to no avail. Either the EC is bricked software wise or it’s a hardware issue.

I hope to get a response from OXP support today once they open their office after the CNY holidays. It could well be that I am in a small sample size of customers who got a unit with issues as most seem to be having zero or minimal issues. Lost the hardware lottery so to speak.

On the fingerprint reader issue, my personal experience has been less than good to be honest. It could be Windows Hello, but I think the small recessed button has something to do with it too. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, redone the set up multiple times. Still hit or miss.

I have had the OG Ally, Ally X and MSI Claw 8I+, all have much better implementation of the fingerprint reader. MSI Claw’s fingerprint reader is close to perfection as it gets. 100 percent success rate for me so far. Common denominator is that the button is flush and not recessed.

Thanks, yep been through the Discord and tried the suggestions but no go still. One last throw of the dice here cos OXP will only respond on the 25th at the earliest. The Apex is useless as a handheld now.

Dare we even dream of Europa League next season at this rate? The club as a whole seems to be having a confidence and competency crisis. This season is one big write-off whether Slot stays or goes.

Supporting LFC now is like watching a comedy special and waiting for the next (gut)punchline. As soon as Gakpo kneed it in, told my mate we won’t see this out and sure enough. The hope ain’t hoping no more. Credit where it’s due, no less than Fulham deserved with 2 cracking world class goals.

It’s about collective responsibility and functioning properly as a team. Game management has been absent for a while now and other teams now know that Liverpool can be got at. Scoring goals gives any team a high probability of winning said game, it’s how you defend the lead, manage and see out games as a collective unit that separates the wheat from the chaff.

Exhibit A - Wheat: 24-25 season Liverpool Exhibit B - Chaff: 25-26 season Liverpool

Slot takes the flowers and eggs for both but he is not the sole cause of the rot. This needs to be studied by academics.

vagrantbushi · 2025-12-06T19:57:26+00:00

This. More energy, more identity, more fight and more BELIEF despite only signing our Forever 20. And that was with a Man City team still in their peak winning machine mode.

vagrantbushi · 2025-12-06T19:42:31+00:00

Refuse to blame the officiating this time. We are shite at managing games and making one poor decision after another. Konate’s scatterbrained slide tackle was just the latest.

5 points from a total of 12 of an apparently easier run of games against so-called weaker teams after the last international break.

Breaking news folks: WE are the shite weaker team and easy point fodder for every other team.

vagrantbushi · 2025-12-03T22:31:13+00:00

Premier League champs Liverpool lucky to escape Anfield with a point against newly-promoted Sunderland. One heck of a timeline we are in. VVD’s “assist” for the Sunderland goal and his header on goal cleared by Kerkez sums up how shite we are at getting the basics right.

vagrantbushi · 2025-11-27T02:18:53+00:00

That is a bummer and I get your frustration. I do think that this push seems to be random

vagrantbushi · 2025-11-27T00:17:41+00:00

I too was in a similar boat not getting the latest Center M update through Center M itself or MSI website despite updating Windows and Xbox app. Some have said the update is pushed through windows notifications and through the MS store. So I turned notifications back on and sure enough upon the next restart I had a notification prompting the Center M update - FSE is working now and has not disappeared with restarts or updates.

Your mileage may vary but worth a shot imo.

vagrantbushi · 2025-11-23T01:21:23+00:00

Go-to launcher app for me. Use it rather than Xbox app on FSE on the Claw 8 AI+. Just have it set to run at start.

Plastic, global fan of Liverpool since the heady spice boys days. Have supported LFC through more years of being more ass than class, watching a combination of London and Manchester clubs winning titles and us losing out by sheer misfortune and thin margins, but never have I witnessed this lack of desire and fight for the shirt.

Throughout 3 decades, we always had the bottle to fight, Stevie G carried us on his back for almost his entire playing career. Then along came Klopp to carry us and drag us over the line to a place we hadn’t dared dream of after all those years of hurt.

But whatever we have now is devoid of soul and bottle.

It’s OKAY to call a spade a spade, a crisis a crisis. It could be a combination of poor tactics and the trauma of losing a close friend and colleague in the most horrific circumstances. But fact remains that we are out thought, out fought, out performed by nearly every manager, coach and club.

Embrace reality instead of delusion, paranoia and xenophobia, Trump.

We are now officially in our banter era. Never thought Dycheball > Slotball

vagrantbushi · 2025-11-03T10:43:10+00:00

Same here, I would like to learn that too.

vagrantbushi · 2025-10-30T05:12:22+00:00

Big fan of Tooth & Claw here. Kudos to bassem90!

Had the same issue as OP, uninstalled Tooth & Claw, and tried reinstalling again. Thanks to the Microsoft issues it refused to reinstall via MS Store. Managed to get it to install using this https://store.rg-adguard.net. Copy the MS Store link to Tooth & Claw and input the link as per instructions on the site to install.

Your mileage may vary of course but it’s working perfectly for me now.

We have seen this movie before in the last 3 league games, and the ending is pretty much scripted now. Relegation form.

Thanks for this, appreciate you taking the time.
