How to Reset an Xbox One S without getting rid of games

Hi there Q, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

I'm sorry to read that you're experiencing this issue with your Xbox One S console!

If it has been stuck for a long time and is not progressing, the only option left is to attempt an offline update of the console using the instructions from the following link:

https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/offline-system-update

However, this procedure will erase your games and apps, requiring you to reinstall them. Unfortunately, there is no other option if the reset while keeping games and apps does not work.

Please keep in mind that in this public forum, we are just fellow players like you, trying to help other players with our best intentions.

I appreciate your understanding and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

I don't have it game pass ultimate on the xbox one s console and it is hopeless without and so I want to get rid of xbox one and buy series x on the upgrade.

Resetting to factory settings should get rid of the passcode.

I got rid of all my original Xbox One's. I have an X and 2 S's now. I am getting the Xbox Series X on day one.

Now that MS has announced an Xbox One WITHOUT Kinect hopefully we can get an update to have auto sign-in without it. Also getting rid of that stupid indicator that says the Kinect is unplugged would be nice.
