  1. Apps and games won't start


    Hello everyone,

    My Xbox One keeps having an issue with opening apps and games. Whenever I try to open one it gets to its splash screen and then goes back to the homepage and sometimes we'll say game is "getting ready". It will then try reopening the app on its own and continue the same process over and over again. And the only way I can get out of that cycle is by manually restarting the Xbox. The only way I have found so far to temporarily fix this issue is by going in uninstalling and reinstalling the apps and games. Can anybody help me find a better long-term solution?

    :)

    If none of the above solutions worked, I suggest you try the alternatives listed below.

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
    Select Reset console.
    On the Reset your console? screen, you'll see three options:

    - Select the option to keep your games and apps so that they are not deleted, make sure you know your email and password as they will be removed from the console and you will need to add them again.

    - If the above option does not work, try the alternative below.

    Try to update your console offline by following the instructions below.

    Hey Space thanks for taking the time to bring this issue to us!

    We suggest a reset of the console since the problem might be on the actual OS of the console so we would suggest a

    Soft Factory Reset
    (while keeping games and apps) IF AND ONLY IF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA IS MET:

    • There is a stable network connection.
    • The information for all profiles is known (email and passwords)
    Once the setup is complete it will ask if we want to keep settings or manual setup lets do manual setup. Give it a shot and let us know of any changes!
