My xbox series x won't play games when i press them directly and the menus slow down

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 MAHMOUD_145

This can be a bit odd, but may I know if you tried connecting your Xbox Console to a different wifi network?
For example sharing mobile data via wifi hotspot and connect your console in that way

Or, what about using a different DNS address :
go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings

Once you’re inside the Advanced Settings menu, go to DNS settings and select Manual from the list of available options.
When you get to the next screen, enter 8.8.8.8 in the box associated with the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 in the Secondary DNS box.

Once the default DNS addresses have been changed, restart your console and see if the issue has been resolved at the next console startup.
(If that doesn't work use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1)
----------

If you don't mind, please answer the following questions :
Are you part from the insider program / beta OS installed?
When you said that you reset the console, are you referring to factory reset or power cycling it?
And what else did you tried to fix this?
In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

Fair enough, a slow internet connection is as good excuse as any.

Be aware however that while that drive will work on Series X, you won't be able to play Series X games directly from it. Series X games will require faster access and read speeds. My understanding is that the Series X games can be 'backed up' on an external
drive and then need to copied/moved over to either the internal SSD or the External SSD's that will be available for the machine.

The Series X will read and play Xbox One games from an external drive though.

Yes it is very slow - I found the issue when I set up the xbox app on windows 10 and remote play and it said after testing the connection "Are you kidding??" (It works though.. It said "will work best inside network, not outside of it")

Anyways - I doubt this is an issue with the series x since ALL the consoles have the exact same issue. (Oddly it's just gaming consoles) I directly connected at least the series x to the modem with ethernet cable - the same issue - so router configuration won't matter will it? Nor would resetting the series X it if it's happening on all consoles. Or maybe I need to reset them all? Even my ps5?

I'm going to call my ISP and ask them if some type of gaming console throttling is happening, Is that even possible?

Hi Aman!

Make sure to enable cross-play in your game.

Go to FIFA 22’s main menu.
Press RT on Xbox One, Series X|S.
Go to the Friends tab.
If you do not have your friend, add them:
Press Y on Xbox One, Series X|S.
Write your friend’s Xbox Live Gamertag.
Highlight any name on the list
Press X on Xbox One, Series X|S.
Pick the Enable Cross-Play option.

To set your expectation, the game's cross-play may be limited to Online Seasons and Online Friendlies modes only.

The games on the SSD will run fine on it. You won't need to move them to the Xbox Series X storage to play them. Only the Xbox Series X games & games optimized for Series X will need to be played on the consoles own storage.
