Anybody else having problems with getting their live to connect in controller mode?

It’s 50/50 chance each time I try to put it into controller mode that it actually works. Sometimes it connects but then the touch screen etc doesn’t work and sometimes it just keeps looking for computer :hmmm: And every once in awhile while it’s in controller mode the connection fails and I lose my session...

I’ve tried 3 different cords because I heard the one that comes with live is defective, still doesn’t help.

I’ve only recently started to have to use controller mode for my live sets and it sucks I have to stress out about it not connecting and/or when it does just crashes (hasn’t happened yet during a show but has during sound check )

Running most current OS with a MacBook Pro. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated
