0x80040900

I'm Having the same issue. Is there a place where support says that is the only way to fix it?

Interesting that searching for this exact error code on https://support.xbox.com/en-US/error-code-lookup?code=0x80040900

"Sorry! No Support articles were found for "0x80040900".

Tips for trying again:

If the error code begins with the letter “E,” try searching on the first part of the code.

Example For “E305 L: 0000000080000001,” search for “E305.”

If the error code is 24 digits long, try searching on the last 8 digits.

Example For “Error 417f-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8007-2746” (where the letter “x” can be any number), search for “80072746.”

Hi, i had the same issue a few days ago. I followed these steps to restore my xbox. You can do it via USB as well if the home screen takes to long or keeps freezing like it did with me. After doing this my xbox went back to normal. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults

I’m having the exact same issue, but it persists past reboot. When I turn the console off and wait. Then power it back on the screen immediately says yellow michael and then goes black. The only function that works is long old the Xbox button and it displaces
the turn off the console or controller screen.

Unplugging and reseating the power cable brings it back to normal.

Looks like the OS's GUI fails, and one needs to fully power off (power button for 6 seconds, wait 20 sec, power on).
