    Hi

    Can anyone help with a problem my son's xbox s has developed.

    Most games bring up an error message that "for some reason the game took too long to start"

    We have tried all the standard fixes of power cycling resetting the console and reinstalling the games, none work.

    Microsoft have suggested I buy another console,they call it a repair/exchange. As the console is 13 months old and less than a month out of warranty this is ridiculous I can't be buying a console every year!

    Any ideas? Occasionally games load and it plays perfectly so I doubt there is a hardware issue.

    :)

    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.

    Hello, have you tried restarting the xbox. I found this usually solves a majority game starting issues. If you are unsure how to go to this link for step by step directions, https://t.co/Av13Y8CrVg

    Try clearing the cache of your console by holding down the power button on your console for 10 seconds.

    Hi there Barr0w, thanks for reaching out and we're sorry to hear about the frustrating experience.

    To check, can you please send us your Detailed Network Stats (Settings>Network>Network Settings>Detailed Network Statistics) as seen on your Xbox One console? Is this happening with any games you try, disc, or digital?

    yeah it happens with any game I try to launch. I've had the problem ever since I got the console though and I've tried resetting it like that in the past but it still happens
