clearing the cache

So i go on my xbox one to play some games yet nothing will load so i have to do a hard restart. I have my xbox one in instant on mode and i am wondering why it doesnt clear the cache when like this

:)

 

Clearing the Cache

So recently I cleared the cache on the Xbox One just to get all the junk I don't need out, but ever since I cleared it I can't sign in to my YouTube account, Twitch account, etc. And it is really bothering me. Can anyone tell me whats going on or how to
fix it?

 

Clearing Cache

not your saves or your cheevos.......All downloaded game updates will be removed. So if you have downloaded an auto-update for a game, in order to play it on Xbox Live you will need to re-download it.

 

The system cache is actually beneficial. It should only be cleared when there is an issue.

 

How do you clear it when you are having issues?

 

Unplug the power for a minute while it's off.

 

There would be no point in instant on if the X Box One didn't keep certain resources in memory. I have one X Box in Energy Saver and the other in Instant On...the one in Energy Saver is flawless, while the other has to be restarted every so often; more often
if I use a lot of apps/games.

I don't understand the advice of unplugging it or holding down the power button for 10 seconds...if you go to settings under power/startup there is a option to "restart". Had to use it this morning when the dash started lagging and my controller was acting
funky.

Peace, J.R.

 

Put simply, a Force Shutdown. It's a common hardware option especially on PC's when the OS or system stops responding, you are left with a Force Shutdown, a fail safe option when the OS/system doesn't respond which involves pressing a button for a few seconds.
But others will tell you "you know that (force shutdown) is not good for your machine, right?".

 

I actually google Force Shutdown. It's like an emergency feature manufacturers put in their devices in case the OS or system freezes or becomes un-responsive (or if you're too lazy busy or impatient to wait for the OS to shut it down for you).

It can cause data corruption, it could damage chips and highly sensitive circuitry inside.

It seems from posts on this forum is answer 'do hard reset' 'do hard reset' 'do hard reset'. I think lots of people have done this lots of times to their Xbox 1 console. Maybe they should have opted in for a processor with a much more manageable cache size
or is Xbox 1 still using L1 cache or something (just kidding).

 

And since Xbox 1 console's have a non-removable internal 5400rpm HDD (these have been around for Y-E-A-R-S) I'm just curious if this hard reset thingy aka Force Shutdown is a good idea after all. Of course you could open up the console and pull it out, call
that removable, but I think messing around with inside your Xbox console is against the Xbox Rule Book and it automatically voids your console's warranty. Xbox 1 has external HDD support, but it isn't much fun running a console with a dead HDD inside of it.

 

I think Xbox 1 should have a UI/Software/OS function under settings to Clear the Cache without having to hard reset the console. Xbox 360 has this option where you can under settings clear the cache on your console without hard resetting it. Sorry for the
multiple post peps it feels like I'm the only one on this forum (at this time).

 

D33dles has it right, there's a restart console option in the settings I think that it clears the cache.
