Here to help.

Hello Brian B, My name is oskayra and it would be a pleasure to help you.

I tell you in advance so that there are no misunderstandings, this is a public forum for user-to-user support. We are users who help other users. We don't work for Microsoft.

Your Xbox Series X may have a hardware problem. If you've tried both recovery methods and neither works, you may need to send your console to Microsoft for repair.

Before shipping the console, you can try the following steps:

Check the cables. Make sure all cables are connected correctly, especially the power cable and HDMI cable.

Try connecting the console to a different power source. If you have another power source available, try connecting it to the console to see if that resolves the issue.

Try restarting the console. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to restart the console.

If none of these steps work, you may need to send your console to Microsoft for repair.

Microsoft will send you an email confirmation when it receives your console. Repair time will depend on the nature of the problem.

I hope the information provided is helpful to you.

Merry christmas.

Sincerely,
Oskayra.

My Xbox X series just said update an I pressed update console but it won’t update

So just to double check - if I get a Series X and I plug my hard drive into it, I won’t be able to play MWII? I will have to re purchase the game as the Series X version?

I’m having the same issue. I got a series X about 2 weeks ago and it won’t stay connected to WiFi. It usually will only hold connection for a few minutes, anywhere from 2-20 maybe? A couple times it has maintained connection for multiple hours though that is very rare. It sits next to my Xbox One X and a few feet from my PS5, all of which connect to the same WiFi network without issue. Due to location of the router, a hardwire connection isn’t possible.
