Power settings and unplugging the console

Hi there,

since the Xbox One has two different power settings (instant on and power saving mode), I'd like to know whether is it safe to unplug the console while instant on is active. If not, I want to know which steps I have to follow to safely unplug the Xbox One
from the mains.

Thanks in advance

:)

Did you try hard setting your Xbox? (Holding the power button until the console shuts off and unplugging the power cord for 5 minutes) you could also try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it.

1. Make sure your console is plugged into an outlet, NOT power surge or power protector.

2. Settings >disc and blue ray > blue ray > persistent storage > clear persistent storage.

3. Settings > power and start up > turn off or restart > restart now

4. Repeat step 2

5. Power cycle the console by holding the power button for 10 seconds, and unplugging the console from the wall for 30 seconds.

 

May one ask, what's the reason to unplug the power cable from your console?

 

I just feel it's more safe to disconnect all the appliances I have in my room... just in case. You see, the consume very little power while in stand by, but they still use power. I just switch the multisocket off.

 

Hi

the Xbox One can be left in instant on mode without any issues however if you intend to disconnect the product when not in use I would personally set the console to power save mode.

 

Then there's no reason for you to have your console's power mode set to Instant-On. If you haven't already, switch to energy-saving mode instead and thereby, your contrubution to a better planet
