My Xbox app when trying to connect to an existing console that was already connected to but...

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this RHYSIE

This can be a bit dumb, but can you try turning off all the remote features (make sure to have instant-on power mode enabled)

After you turn off the remote play features. Power cycle your Xbox console
1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.
Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.
3. Plug the console power cable back in.
4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

After that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

Also disconnect your router from power for about 3 minutes. Then connect it again an when everything is working, reinstall the Xbox app in your phone and try again

In case you need detailed steps about how to re-configure remote play.

I am not trying to connect it to my console. I can connect it to my console wirelessly but i want to connect to my pc (Windows 10) and play through the xbox app but when i pressed the buttons when connected to the pc it just blinked for a few seconds and
then shut off.

I can see the console on my xbox companion app but when I try to connect, it says "We coudn't connect to your console. Make sure the console is still on and connected to the same network as this device"

It is on and connected to the network. This started about 2 weeks ago it worked fine until then

Confirmed this issue as well. When trying to link my account on Xbox console and thru Xbox PC/app, when I enter in the code to verify twitch, it spins and never finishes.

After reading this forum, I tried connecting through the Xbox app on iphone, and it auto-connected to my twitch account.

Currently connecting via your phone app seems to be the only way. Hopefully Microsoft fixes this soon.

Hi Mario

Sorry to hear about that, however, you can try following these steps on your console:

You might need to reset your console but keep your games and apps. This will delete any corrupted data in your console's OS. Ensure that you know your Microsoft account and password before doing so and your console is connected to the internet.

Press Xbox button> Go to System> Settings> System> Console Info> Reset Console> Keep Games and Apps

Once it restarts > Sign In > Choose your last settings

Once done, check your remote settings by going to Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features > Ensure that "Enable remote features" is checked.

See your power mode option if its set to Sleep, if its on Sleep, you can turn on the console and turn it off, however, if its on Energy saving, you can only connect to it if you manually turn the console on.

Then try to connect to mobile data on your phone while your console is connected to your home wifi.

Let me know.
