    Digital Game and Apps won't open.


    Hi

    I've just come across a new issue that I've never come across before. I ran into it last night where I tried opening one of my downloaded games and received the message "Just getting your game ready. Your game will start soon!" Except the game does not open
    and when pressing cancel, the message pops up again. Cancelling again will do nothing to stop the notification as the message now continues to spam my dashboard. I tried hard resetting my console to try again but that hasn't changed anything to my system and
    my digital games still won't work. I also tried my downloaded apps and they also don't open in which the message spams again but saying "Your App will start soon!"

    It appears that all my downloaded games and apps have this problem and at this moment I haven't found any issue online that people have had in common before or at present. I wanted record a video to show the issue but you can't record footage on the Xbox
    dashboard. Hopefully what I've said has enough clarity.

    If anyone could help troubleshoot this problem that would much appreciated. I'm in the process of reinstalling one of my downloaded games to see if that will help solve it. However if that does solve the issue, that would mean using a lot of download data
    to reinstall all my digital games. If there is a work around, I'm up for it.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Games & Apps won't open

    Hi so my xbox one has been having trouble turning on. It takes about 10-15 minutes to start and even then the dashboard isn't completely loaded in. The system will not let me make any actions with the controller but instead after an additional 5-10 minutes
    it attempts to open the Games & Apps application and ultimately fails. when I try to show help, the help app also fails to open, and then I get a frozen black screen. This has been going on for at least 2 weeks now.

    games won't load

    I was playing Dead Rising 3 until textures stopped loading and it went all black. I restarted the game and now it won't stop loading. I quitted and tried Forza 5 and Killer Instinct. They won't load! I can go to the dashboard and open other apps but my games
    won't load! Please help! All my games are digital.

    Xbox Ones future... whats your thoughts?

    @Goat

    I will be willing to bet that the Xbox app won't be just a streaming client but rather a digital client allowing people to play Xbox games on the PC......that's how they'll make money.

    You open up the Xbox exclusives to a player base with 100's of millions of gamers and you'll make money.

    I have the same issue. I have no idea what the problem is and I've tried dozens of troubleshooting. This is unacceptable!

    Rewards app won't open

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    Make sure that you're also physically located in UK, Chris.

    Also, I have here steps that we can try, please perform a power cycle on your console by following the steps below:

    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    ​​​

    "1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​"

    If that didn't work resetting the console keeping games and apps will be the next option. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

    "Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

    Select Reset console.

    Reset and keep my games & apps."
