    My Xbox Series S randomly stopped working


    2 days ago, my xbox was working fine, and then yesterday it randomly couldn't connect or find any networks. I tried my hotspot as well, but for some reason it couldn't find that or my 2 home networks. I figured it was just a one night thing and got off for the night. Today, I tried again and it still had the same problem, no matter how many times I restarted my xbox or my router (my network was fine as I was connected on my phone and my roommate was on his playstation). I tried resetting my xbox and now I am stuck on the set up phase to connect to a network. Anyone know why this could be happening? Thanks.

    Edit: If I try connecting through manually entering the SSID, I can get it to the "Checking Connection" part but it will still fail to connect. Also an ethernet is not an option for me unfortunately because I have apartment provided internet and the router has no ethernet port My Xbox Series S randomly stopped working :(

    :)

    Elite 2 controller not working on game on Halo 2

    I have a problem with my Xbox elite series 2 controller. It works fine while playing any other game but when I play fortnite it randomly stops working while playing, none of the buttons work even when I plug it in it doesn’t work but out of nowhere it starts working again and it happens over and over again. I’m also playing on the Xbox series S

    Hi Jeff, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you.

    Is an external hard drive plugged into your console? If yes, please unplug it and perform a power cycle on your console.

    Please follow the steps to Power Cycle your Console:

    ​​​

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

    If there is no external hard drive plugged into your console, I highly recommend trying to connect your console via wired or LAN cable. If it worked, kindly check if there's a pending system update on your console.

    If you've managed to connect a LAN cable to your console but there is still no connection, there's a possibility that your console has a hardware or software issue and it would be best to have it checked or repaired.

    for a series X I have three different headsets that all allow me to hear the game but wont allow me to talk to my friends, how can i fix this?

    They are wireless and all work, in fact I was using my newest one earlier the same day. While I was on hold for an hour and 15 minutes it randomly started working again. The only thing I did during that time was dust my Xbox series x. So I don’t know if it just needed to be cleaned or why it stopped working but it randomly started working again.
