Energy Saving vs Stand By Mode

Gamer73 · Sep 1, 2022

Hello I have Original Xbox One, there are settings there for power consumption I guess, and the choices are Energy Saving and Stand by. I understand that with Energy Saving, the console will take less power and therefore take longer to start up, I don't mind that, however if I leave my setting on Energy saving, will it try to dim games or give me darker screen when I play games? I don't play games often just once in a while so I think Energy Saving is a good choice for me but I just want to make sure it won't make games look bad.

Thanks

:)

Having it in energy save mode won't affect game play at all. It just affected the way it's shut down.

That happens sometimes when an update occurs. Go into the power settings and put it in energy save mode which means it will completely shut off and will not remain in stand by.

xbox one is constantly updating your friends and feeds and so on , but it should not be doing it in energy-saving mode , it should be ALL the way off , that's why it takes so long to boot up in that mode...maybe yours isn't in that mode or it isn't working
properly...

Energy-saving power mode

In energy-saving power mode, your console is shut down to save energy. In this mode:

•Updates are not downloaded and installed until your console is turned on.

•Your console takes 45 seconds to start up.

•You must press the Xbox button to start the console.

Notes

•In energy-saving mode, the PSU is in off/standby mode and the solid orange LED on the PSU is bright.

•The console uses 0.5 watts of power when in energy-saving mode.

so if the psu is off , I don't see how it could use the internet...

Additional, whilst troubleshooting, make sure to set your console's power energy mode to energy-saving mode

OP, do you keep your XB1 in stand by mode or energy saver?
