    My Xbox One just turned itself on and the TV wasn't even on. Its happened to me a few times before but I just always thought I must had left it on. Reading through other xbox forum posts this seems to be a common problem. How is this problem fixed?

    Xbox one turned itself on

    I was at my parents house and they had an Xbox one on and Xbox live running. Out of nowhere my gamertag popped up and said I was online. I went home with a loaded gun to make sure no one was in my home since I live alone. I found everything in the house
    off, lights, tv's, etc. My Xbox one was the ONLY thing on in the house. My controller was off, tv was off no explanation as to what caused this. I found out searching the internet this happens a lot. Need to find a way to fix this or else I'll be getting
    rid of my Xbox and going back to Playstation.

    My Xbox one turns on by itself

    Hey there,

    That's an interesting one, is this an original Xbox One model, or an Xbox One S model? If it's an original model, try unplugging the console from the power source and cleaning the power button with a soft try cloth to remove any fingerprints or debris.

    If that doesn't help, make sure your console is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector/power strip. The Xbox One console has a built in surge protector, so if it's connected to another one, it's very possible that there could be a
    power issue going on. Aside from that, it's also possible the console is downloading updates in the background. Do you have the console set to Instant On mode or Energy Saving mode?

    Let us know!

    My Xbox One turns on by itself.

    Hey there Jack!

    When was the last time you cleaned your console? If it's been a while, go ahead and unplug it, then spray a soft, clean cloth with regular household cleaner. Wipe down the console and make sure there are no fingerprints over the front of your power button.
    If your console still turns on, go ahead and put it in
    energy-saver mode
    . Hopefully that does it but if it still happens, you'll want to try
    factory resetting your console next.

    Let us know how it goes! :)

    My Xbox one turns on by itself

    A few people have reported this. I would just unplug my power cord before I go to sleep.

    XBOX ONE turns on my TV but after a couple of seconds it turns off again

    It's also been happening to me. I say "xbox on" and everything turns on (tv/receiver) then the Xbox One turns itself off. repeating "xbox on" does nothing. trying to turn the X1 via the controller did nothing. had to press the button on the box itself
    for it to boot up....which then turned off my tv and receiver. This has happened twice (just now and yesterday).

    Xbox One turns on by itself

    try to clean the front panel - power and eject areas with damp soft tissue, also make sure it is not close to things that can cause interference, like if console is next cell phone , house phone, audio receiver, etc, make sure it has some distance between
    console and other electronics. Also maybe move console and see if the same thing happens. ,
