For some reason XXXX took too long to start.

This happens CONSTANTLY?!?! Why doesn't this "revolutionary" product know how to properly switch between apps/games?? This isn't specific to any app or game it seems to happen across the board when switching between applications/games. I am constantly
having to wait ....wait...wait... get the error and then re-launch the app/game. Where is Microsoft getting its dev team these days? Devry?!?

It's a problem on your console...

Make another tenative, try deleting the local data related to the game (not the Cloud, but only "Delete from console"). It could also be a problem with data synchronization.

I happen to have had the same issue that you are speaking of and I have a fix for what you are seeing. If you can turn your system off and unplug the power cord from the back of it for about 15 seconds. Plug it in and you are good to go. Its called clearing
the system cache.

This is the only way I've seen to supposedly correct this issue. What are the next steps if this doesn't resolve the problem? My next step is quickly becoming a sledgehammer to this POS console.

I've plugged it in the wall, I've opened ports, could it be DNS? Whatever that may be..

DNS would be the tech equivalent of the Phone operator in the old days....basically, it helps connect you with the website you happen to be trying to access. Some DNS servers are better than others to their larger size enabling them to handle more DNS requests. For those having DNS issues (or network issues or undetermined causes), it's always worth manually changing the DNS in Network settings to that of Google, Cloudflare or any other one.

Try Cloudflare first 1.1.1.1

The Google 8.8.8.8

You can try this: The first step in resetting an Xbox One is to open the main menu. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

Press the home button on your Xbox One controller. This is the illuminated button with a stylized X that is centrally located on the front of the controller near the top.

Alternately, you can press the left bumper until you reach the home tab, and then press left on the d-pad.

Press down on the d-pad until you reach the gear icon.

Press the A button to select the gear icon.

With all settings highlighted, press the A button again to open the settings menu.

Press down on the d-pad until you reach System.

Press the A button to open the System submenu.

With console info highlighted, press the A button again.

Press down on the d-pad to select reset console.

Press the A button to select this option and move to the final step.

Press left on the d-pad to select Reset and keep my games & apps. Then press the A button. This is the less thorough of the two options, as it only resets the Xbox One firmware and settings without touching your games and apps. Try this first, as it allows you to avoid downloading everything all over again.
