have to hard reset series s xbox every time i open minecraft.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Do you have any third-party accessories plugged into your console? Examples are third-party headsets, external hard drive, or mouse and keyboard? If yes, kindly unplug them and then try launching the game to check if there will still be an issue.

Hey there MichaelFancher

Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for advice on how to clear up this strange sign in problem.

I can totally see how having to restart your console all the time could be somewhat frustrating.

I agree with @Vinny #1 suggestion in favor of a factory reset. If you know all your gamertag sign in information and your network is solid, you
can always try a soft factory reset by following the steps outlined in
How to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One and select the option denoted reset and keep my games & apps.


When you get a chance give that a shot and let us know if that helped.

Thanks!

Set your console to start your profile when you turn on your Xbox.

I already faced this problem, a factory reset solved and never had problems.

Are you connecting your console by WiFi or wired to your router, because this sounds more like a networking issue?

Networking support may assist.

I have the same issue with Minecraft on my Series X. I tried all of the above multiple times, including trying a hard reset on my 2-day-old Series X and it still isn't working. I've resorted to playing on my Xbox one. Please help, I'd like to play Minecraft on my new console!
