    "Turn off after" using sleep, not shutdown.


    I originally addressed this in an Alpha Skip-Ahead comment, but it didn't receive any attention. "Report a Problem" tickets have been filed, so hopefully u/neonepiphany might have some information on this.

    General->Power options

    Console is set to Shutdown (energy saving).

    ->Customize power options

    'Turn off after' and 'Turn off after(media)' are both set to X hours.

    What actually happens:

    The console sleeps. The easiest way to tell is if you see the startup animation when you turn on the console, it was powered off and not waking from sleep.

    Additionally, the consoles misreport their power status to Xbox for use in the app. Powering off the console via the 'Turn off Console' command DOES turn off the console, but the Xbox app reports that console as 'Standby On', and remote connections are refused/unavailable.

    Consoles that are set for sleep also report to the Xbox app as 'Standby On', though you can wake and connect to them via the app.

    These steps were also used to confirm the 'Sleep vs Shutdown' bug in Customize Power Options.

    I've tested and confirmed these on two separate consoles (Series X and Series S), but could always use another verified test.

    Tl/dr; Auto shutdown timers are not using the selected power profile, and auto-sleep instead. Xbox app reports 'Standby On' even when console is shutdown.

    Hi i just want to ask that does the fan in the xbox series x always on or turns of when you shut down the console.Because my one turns off in about 2-5 minutes after i turn off the console

    Hi Arjit!

    The fan is already programmed into the system. If it's not necessary to use it, it will not turn on. It's normal that it's turned off if it's on minimal usage like in Shutdown mode or Sleep mode. If you play games or use apps that use a lot of power and resources, your fan should start to work.

    Screen auto-dimming after 10 minutes

    Doing a full shutdown fixed it for me. When you use the xbox controller or the power button on the front of the xbox it goes to sleep/hybernation. Doing the full shutdown completely spins down the xbox operating system clearing all drivers from memory
    and reloading them. This is a common problem with sleep/hybernation on all systems including xbox.

    The fix:

    Go to Settings > All Settings > Power and Start Up > Turn off or restart > "Full shutdown". Then power your xbox back on.

    Xbox one issue

    Try holding down the power button until the console turns off, then power it back on and see if that helps. Holding the power button does a hard shutdown and not just a sleep mode, usually this solves most issues.

    Auto Update Not Working

    When turning the console off do you just press the off button on the console or hold it? Or is it by controller since there are 2 ways to turn off the system and leaving it.

    One puts it in a sleep mode while the other fully shuts down the console. When you turn your system on do you get the green boot logo if so then it has been fully shutdown.
