Make it easier to switch between standby and energy saving

I find myself always switching between "Instant On" and "Energy Saving". Sometimes I want a short break, other times I want a full shutdown. The only workaround I've found to partially mitigate this is to go to Settings and do a "Full shutdown" from there.
But this isn't as convenient as it could be. I don't think I should have to manually switch "modes" every time - why can't it be like PS4 where you get the option between "Rest mode" and "Off"? Why does Xbox make it such a pain to switch between them?

It'd be better if the "default behaviour" for "Turn off console" was replaced by two separate options when holding down the Xbox button: "Full shutdown" and "Standby".

Xbox One's HDD still spinning when it's off, normal?

The xbox one is made to always be on even when its off. It will auto download updates when in standby. If you go into the settings you can actually disable the instant on feature and it will FULLY shut down. This will make it so it has to boot longer
since it wont be in standby, but turning the instant on feature to energy saving mode it will completly turn it off. Note: when energy saving mode is on the "Xbox On" kinect function will not work for obvious reasons.

 

Standyby and completely off?

I think this is toggled in "Settings" from the videos I have seen. If you go to the power settings, you can either choose to have the standby mode, or energy-saving mode. Energy saving allows the console to completely turn off and consumes about .3 watts,
while standby uses about 17-18 watts.

 

Hi

Can you please either create a new idea on the
Xbox Uservoice web site below or vote for an existing one.

 

<b>I would have to agree with you on this one, until Microsoft gets around to adding a feature like this you could leave your console in instant on mode and when you want to do a full shutdown hold the power button the console for 5 seconds, this should
be more convenient to navigating to the setting to shut down your console</b>
