    External hard drive problems

    do you have that box checked that says "turn off external devices on standby" or something like that? That might be the issue.

    External hard drive problem

    Hey there!

    I'm sorry to hear about the issue. It sounds like the button you pressed was to format the external HDD for use with an Xbox One console. Unfortunately, if the data has been erased, there is no way to recover the content. You'll have to reinstall/re-download
    the content.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

    Memoria esterna non rilevata e il controller non risponde ai comandi [Translation - External memory is not detected and the controller does not respond to commands]

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that the issue is persistent on the External Hard Drive.

    Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a PC?

    Does the PC recognize the external hard drive?

    Does the external hard drive meet the specifications for the Xbox One?

    If the problem persists, I recommend to try a different external hard drive on the Xbox if possible. One thing we want to make sure, Are the ports on the Xbox One functioning?

    Let us know.

    Game pass downloads

    Do other games you own that aren't from game pass have the same problem? Do you have an external hard drive. If a game I install to my external hard drive is very laggy I will move it to my internal hard drive which usually fixes the problem.
