    I've tried everything and seek guidance

    If it's an original model Xbox One I would suggest trying a different power supply if you can find one. Retailers like GameStop usually have them for fairly cheap (under $20 in my experience). I've owned several original Xbox One units and the weak link seems to be the power supply. If it's an Xbox One S or X then please disregard this suggestion - your unit probably needs servicing. Depending on the model and age this may or may not be worth the expense vs buying a new console at this point.

    I guess if I would look at what forum you posted in I would know that... Sorry about that :) I know that you said you've tried all of these steps, but sometimes the order is important. Try uninstalling, holding the Xbox logo on your console until it powers
    down, unplugging the power cable from the console for 2 minutes (at least, longer won't hurt), rebooting, and then reinstalling the app.
