Home Screen Intense flashing

JohnC223 · Jan 16, 2022

So when I turn on my Xbox the Home Screen is flashing intensely very bright white and very rapidly it hurts the eyes. It just suddenly started when I turned on my Xbox this morning, nothing I can think of triggered it. I tried power cycling but it didn’t work. When I go into a game it’s fine. But when I go into an app it still flashes. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I'll suggest you try doing a factory reset keeping games and apps on your console. This will refresh the console and remove all potential bugs without deleting any game data.

- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

- Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

- Select Reset console.

- Choose Keep Games and Apps

Once that is done, you'll need to sign into the console using your Microsoft account credentials. If the issue is with your console, that should fix it.

It reduces the intensity and length of time you are flashed/stunned.

I tried it on our other tv and it happens there too, and now I'm getting white lines flashing across the login screen and home menu.
