It will have all the steps to try and fix the issue

Hey there!

Thanks for posting. Has there been any performance issues that have occurred in correlation to the fan noise? If the fan kicks in while idle, that mainly indicates that your Xbox One S could be in the process of applying any pending updates.

One thing we can try out is fully powering down your Xbox One S console by holding the power button, remove power from the back, and let it sit for 5 minutes before plugging everything back in. Aside from that, my main recommendation is to keep an eye on
the behavior of the Xbox One S. If you notice that the fan noise becomes more and more audible as time goes on, or performance related issues start popping up, your Xbox One console may need to be repaired.

Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions!

My issues also started just after the update. system keeps turning itself off. Tried a factory reset, which seemed to keep it running longer, but not long enough to install a game or do anything. This patch practically bricked it, even if they release a
fix I don't know if my console will stay on long enough to get it. I've been a huge xbox fan, but what good is a console that won't turn on, this is crazy.

If it's a S or E model console, the console has a thermal sensor built in. So if the console detects overheating, it will automatically shut down.

So you can keep your Xbox 360 running for as long as you like continuously.

But keep in mind, that there are still mechanical components like fans and the hard drive, with bearings that eventually wear out.

So if you're not actively playing on the console, I'd still turn it off.

If you want to keep it running because of large downloads, just enable the background downloading in the settings. That way, you can start a download, and turn the console off. The console will then go into a low power mode, and continue downloading, and
won't run as hot as during interactive operation. Less heat means less fan movement, which prolongs the life of the fan's bearing.

Or do you have other reasons why you would keep the console running for 10 hours?

Hello Sadruddin1,

Thanks for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your Xbox One S is turning off as soon as you try turning it on. We have a support article that provides

troubleshooting for an Xbox One that won't turn on. Also, we suggest making sure that the console is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Be sure to let us know the results
