Black screen instead of home screen

LimitableLion90,

While waiting for them to come out with a fix officially, I would like to say that this happened to me as well. You can try the steps below which managed to fix my blank or black home screen issue to see if it fixes yours as well. I have the original
Xbox One.

1. Unplug the network cable if you're using a wired network connection.

2. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

3. Wait at least 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.

4. Press and hold the BIND button and the EJECT button, and then press the Xbox power button on the console.

Your system should boot up to your normal Home screen. Please advise if this has resolved your problem. If it doesn't work the first time try one more time before you give up.

Good luck,

First thing's first, perform a
power cycle on your console, and see if it helps.

Are you on preview updates? You'll want to check if this problem happens with others on the same build on the appropriate subforum (private Insider forum).

This exact problem happened to me. I just updated and boom just black screen instead of home screen. I click report a problem and it goes to open the app then black screen. I put in a disk and loads up the game screen and then black screen.

I don't know if this will be helpful for anyone but I went through all of the methods to get my screen back to no avail. After months and months of the black screen of death, the problem seemed to be, at times, related to my television. I changed the setting
in my television menu to turn off the "video noise reduction" setting and the "dynamic light control" (DLC) setting. So far this seems to have eliminated the black screen issue. I suspect it was my noise reduction setting that was reading something from the
Xbox One as "noise" and blocked video content. I hope this helps at least some people with this problem.

This issue often is caused by corrupted data in the console which prevents the home screen from loading correctly, this can often be fixed by a factory restore. Now as you can't actually access the settings to do this there is a way to restore to factory
defaults using a USB flash drive.

If you visit the offline system diagnostic support page you can download the Restore Factory Defaults file:

support.xbox.com/.../offline-system-update-diagnostic-tool

Read through the process of formatting the flash drive etc thoroughly and follow the instructions as if you were doing a system update but using the file you downloaded you may find that your console will then boot correctly.

Hope this helps you!
