"No Thanks" for Cortana numerous numerous times?

HandheldSoup771 · Mar 15, 2018

How many damn times does one need to say "no thanks" to the Cortana invite? 6 times a day? 7? 8? Each time I turn on my xbox one I get an invite to join Cortana. I am not interested in joining any social media outlet be it Cortana,
Scambook or Twitter. Xbox and Microsoft should accept a one time No Thanks and stop pushing social media on people period!

Can not turn this notification off and it is becoming very irritating to say the least. With this push push push of social media, one might push push push their xbox out the door and into the trash.

Just asking to stop the media invites on my xbox period.

NUMEROUS issues

I'm assuming you've already done this, but just to be sure, have you done a hard reboot? (Holding power for 8 seconds, letting go and waiting for the power brick to turn steady orange, then starting back up.) That is a very common fix, especially for the
"things took too long to start," and games not loading.

As for the December hack, that support rep was basically selling a line, it sounds like to me, because the "hackers" were doing nothing directly on our consoles, they were initiating a Distributed Denial of Service attack, which just, as you said, floods
the servers with incoming connection requests and causing the Xbox Live servers to go offline. That would prevent us from connecting to the service, but would have absolutely no effect on the hardware of our consoles themselves.

NUMEROUS issues

I have the same issues man mainly with the slow download speeds which happens almost daily. One of my friends told me after talking to xbox support that after the hacking xbox got during the holiday that a lot of people have these troubles and that they
have had to send out a bunch of new consoles to angry customers. I might be one of them soon honestly. I don't understand how the hacking could affect it this bad if all the hackers did was flood the servers until it couldn't handle it any longer. I would
say try a factory default because I'm about at that point, but I really don't feel like downloading all the games and apps again if my download speed on the one is still going to be slow. Maybe the april update will help fix some stuff, but we can only hope.

Hi Modified! I'll see if I can help you here, but I would also recommend posting a separate thread specific to this (in the networking support forums) just so your issue doesn't get lost.

Port Forwarding can be a bit intimidating, especially if you've never done it before! But, no worries, as there is a GREAT resource out there that tells you exactly how to do it specific to your brand and model of router. (That's one of the tricky things
- every single company has a different firmware/settings page that has a different way of forwarding ports. But that's okay, because the following site has ALL of them!)

The site is www.portforward.com

Now, the only thing that gives me a bit of concern is the volume of ports they said you need to forward. On Xbox One, typically the ports that need to be forwarded are:

Port 88 UDP

Port 3074 UDP and TCP

Port 53 UDP and TCP

Port 80 TCP

Port 500 (UDP)

Port 3544 (UDP)

Port 4500 (UDP)

Additionally, ports 3075 and 3076 (TCP and UDP) need to be forwarded for certain manufacturers (namely Activision.) I've never heard of having to forward all of those other ports on Xbox One... it's entirely possible that those are ALL of the Rockstar-related
ports, whether you are on Xbox One, PS4, or PC, but you shouldn't need them all just for Xbox.

I would recommend going with the list I posted (which is from the main Xbox support site) and if you have any issues, try adding the additional ones (but again, I'm betting you won't need to.)

Let me know if you have any issues forwarding, or any questions!
