Do you have the auto turn on when using the controller setting on?
I think there is a place where you can set in the Xbox to turn on automatically when the controller is on.

You can most definitely turn the Xbox on with the controller, so I'd assume you can turn that feature off. That would be my first port of call anyway.

i had a look in the settings but couldnt find anything. although i did discover that the control pad and headphones needed an update. i never knew that was a thing.
