    Check if your console its on instant on or energy saving,in instant on mode your console keeps a little bit of energy to download games and start faster if you dont let the console to shut off properly you can even damage the console
    hard drive.

    My games and apps won't load up and when I try to play a game it goes into a black screen and then after a few minutes it tells me "For some Reason (Game) took to long to start." I waited a few days and nothing has happened. I also can't see my games and
    apps to delete them all please help.

    Hi there,

    please press and hold the power button on the console for at least 10 seconds until you hear the console powering down. Wait for the light on the power supply to turn and remain orange, when this is the case please wait at least 30 seconds until you power
    the console on again.

    That should solve the issue with games/apps not starting

    Let us know the results

    Just to be sure, is the power supply connected directly to a wall socket or via a power strip or surge protector?

    Be sure to try it when directly connected to a wall socket.

    It might be the way your account is set up in your account settings, or the way your Nintendo switch account may be set up.

    If you cant fix it try to contact Xbox support: https://support.xbox.com

    Hi there. Sadly this is a hardware fault that has exsisted since day one. What happens is that the drive wont read certain disks and then refuse to read ones it used to later. The only 4 things that might help would be to either remove your account and
    re add it again. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds or when it turns off this will clear cache then turn back on. Uninstall and reinstall the game. Or do a soft reset of xbox and select to keep games and apps. If none of these help its the hardware.
    I hope this helps in some way and hope you are safe and well during these difficult times.

    Which game doesn't work? Games are taken off the service every month.
