    So I have question, my brother lives with me and if I make him mad somehow he uses a remote app that I don't know which to shut off my xbox series s, how do I block him?

    Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

    Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

    I understand you need help with removing who can access your console remotely.

    People can access your console remotely if their account has previously been added to and signed in to your console, and they turned on remote features while they were signed in to your console.

    If you want to turn off this ability for these accounts, you can do it two different ways.

    Solution 1: Ask the person to sign in to their account on your console and turn off remote features

    From your console, they’ll need to press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features.

    Turn off Enable remote features.

    Once they’ve done that, they won’t be able to access your console remotely.

    Solution 2: Remove the person from your console

    From your console, press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Remove accounts.

    Select the account you want to remove and select Remove to confirm.

    Once you’ve removed the account, that person can’t access your console remotely.

    Hope that helps!
