  1. Game or app took too long to start


    I have a problem where everyday everything on my xbox “takes too long to start” and it stays that way until I restart the whole console. After that I am good for the day but the next day it repeats the same thing. Is this a known problem for insiders who get the latest console updates? It is really annoying having to restart my console once or twice a day just so I can use it.

    App/Game took too long to start

    The only thing that I can suggest is a hard reset performed EXACTLY like this.

    Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

    If that doesn't work then try another factory reset and if that doesn't work contact support for a repair. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us

    Already did it a few times, sometimes the games works but only for a few days, then I start getting the same error again.

    I'm from Brazil, will check if this service is available here, will try to test with a external drive first.

    Thanks.

    Twitch app took too long to start.

    Hello Dylan_933,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It appears that you are experiencing delay in launching Twitch app when signing your account in your Xbox console. Let us check and see on what we can do to help get this fixed.

    We would like to ask few questions to help us isolate the issue further.

    1. When did the issue start?

    2. Has there been any changes with your console before this issue happened?

    For the meantime, here are some troubleshooting steps that we can perform:

    1. Check the server status: Sometimes, server issues can cause delays when launching the Twitch app. You can check the server status by visiting the official Twitch Status page. If the servers are down, you may need to wait until they are back up and running.

    2. Update the app: Make sure that you have installed the latest updates for the Twitch app. You can check for updates by going to "My games and apps" > Highlight the app > Press the Menu button > Go to "manage app" > Select "Updates" .

    3. Clear the cache: Clearing the cache can help resolve issues caused by corrupted app files. To clear the cache, press and hold the power button on your Xbox console for 10 seconds to turn it off. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console and wait for 10 seconds. Plug the power cord back in and turn on the console .

    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    Hi Grunt989! Does the problem come up with all the games that you try to start while you're upgrading? Try deleting the system cache with the power cycle and try again. Hold down the power button for 10 secs, wait for the console to turn off, wait for 30
    secs, and then turn it on again.
