    Can my xbox one be accessed by the previous owners pc?


    Evening.

    I may be asking a daft question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

    A friend of mine discovered he was being spyed on through his laptop by an x friend. We have loads of logs as evidence and the police have been informed

    However as my xbox was the x friends before I bought it and was set to his home xbox and basically used as a streaming and storage unit linked to his pc, could that person access the xbox remotely and see what I'm doing?

    Thank you

    :)

    I would also go to security and privacy and make sure you have passwords and possibly two factor authentication going.

    no, they shouldn't be able to access your Xbox, but if you want peace of mind you can do a Factory Reset to delete all accounts, saved games, settings, and home Xbox associations.

    this link will guide you through the process, but make sure you have your account email and password as you will need to add your account back on to your Xbox after the reset.

    you can select the option to keep games and apps so that you don't need to download them again.

    hope this helps

    it may also still be set up as the previous owners Home Xbox. If your friend bought it with access to digital downloaded games, the shock will come once the owner makes their new Xbox as the home one. Digital games can not be transfered to a new owner.

    Thank You Xbox for nothing.......

    It sounds like you bought a used Xbox and the previous owner bought a new/different Xbox, once he made that new one his home console, you lost access to the previous games. At least, that's my educated guess on the matter.
