Not letting me start up a game

Try removing cache. Put your finger on the console's power button for 10 seconds. Then wait another 30 and turn it on again.

Most of the time you really don't have to uninstall the game. If it force Closes on you its either your network, a corrupt file, or a developer issue that you just have to wait for epic games to fix.

Try this trouble shooting
Game crash solution. If this doesn't work you would need to go to
www.epicgames.com

it does sound like the drive is failing tbh, ca you transfer any of the games from the external drive to your internal one and the see if they start up? if they do then it sounds like the drive could be on its way out.

Try a full xbox power cycle and also try a different usb port on the console too

Hi there,

if you haven't yet be sure to try the following steps:

1. try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:
   
   http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console
2. Also try and see what happens when connecting the external storage device via a different USB port on the console
3. Try and run a tool (via PC) to test the hard drive. This may result in all content be removed from the drive though.
   
   I had weird issues at some point, slowness, games crashing etc. and eventually I narrowed it down to the external drive, Ihave a Seagate drive and on their website there is a tool to test the drive which did show drive hardware issues. So I had the drive replaced.
   

Let it know when there are any results

It just let me start up the game now.
