    'Offline' when not Appearing Offline


    Hi there. Honestly going mad over here and I desperately need someone to either say 'hey, this happened to me' or just an explanation.

    So. For months now I've had an issue where, when my Xbox is turned off, sometimes it will randomly show me as 'Offline' rather than 'Last Seen etc'. I know that when you Appear Offline it shows this, but on both my Xbox One & Smartglass for Windows 10 I'm
    not set to Appearing Offline. I haven't set myself to Appear Offline in months.

    It's only when my Xbox is turned off.

    What could be causing this? Has anyone else experienced this? It's honestly driving me insane and anything, theories or explanations or empathy, it'd just help so much.

    Thank you!

    :)

    You are showing as last seen at present, i think this is the windows 10 xbox app casuing the issue here, i think this means when you use the xbox app on W10 even when you close the W10 xbox screen it sort of just goes into offline mode, you would need to
    close the app actually by stopping it via the task manager manually via pressing these keys together....Ctrl Alt Delete then finding the xbox app and stopping it.

    Fairly certain it's not to do with the app, to be honest, as I went through a couple of months of not even going on my laptop and therefore wasn't accessing the app, yet it would still sporadically show me as 'Offline' every now and then throughout those
    months.

    Thank you for trying to explain it, though! 'Offline' when not Appearing Offline :)

    You could possibly try a hard reset to see if that fixes the problem or try contacting support to see if they can help

    Friends Status

    Does your friend appear offline? The appear offline feature will still increase in day count if they play while appearing offline. If he is not appearing offline, sometimes (very seldom) will the friends list show people with a wrong status, but when
    it does it usually updates within a few hours when this issue occurs.
