Remotely turn on XBOX One from Windows 10 but NOT the TV?

Otakuon · Aug 29, 2015

Hi All,

Is there some setting I am missing in the Windows 10 XBOX App that allows you to turn your XBOX One on remotely but NOT the TV (and AV Receiver)? If so, I am not finding it. I am hating the fact that every time I turn on the XBOX from the XBOX App on Windows
10 I have to run all the way downstairs to turn off the TV and AV Receiver because the XBOX One is still telling them to turn on even though they don't need to. It seems like a pretty simple thing that Microsoft would have just included in their coding of
the XBOX that if you turn it on remotely, it doesn't send the commands to the Kinect to also turn on the TV and other devices. Super annoying...

Also, anyway to stream the sound via Dolby Digital or some other surround sound format? Seems like right now the sound is streamed in Stereo only.

Thanks!

:)

[Rumor]Microsoft to unveil new XB1 dashboard at Windows 10 event in January

DX12 will ship with Windows 10 and be compatible with Windows 8.

DirectX 12 will not be supported by Windows 7 | PC Gamer

What this means for Xbox One owners is more apps, PC games, and the likely possibly of better versions of multiplatform titles. Simplified porting + Less manpower = Superior platform.

Forza 5 Runs at "Static" 60fps on DirectX 12; Future Xbox One Games Could Benefit

"One game that was demoed on PC was Forza 5. It took a “4 man-worth effort to port our core rendering engine from Xbox One D3D11.X to D3D12,” said Chris Tector, Chief Architect at Turn 10 Studios."

I also expect to hear about web-based backwards compatibility as well as remote play.

Hey,

This features is actually not part of the Xbox App. However, If you want to turn on the TV at the same time as your Xbox you can. The way you would is by setting up the TV with the Xbox One. You can do this by going to the TV app. Once you have setup everything
and TV information. Every time you turn on the Xbox it will send a signal to the TV after a few seconds and turn on. When you trun the Xbox off then the TV will turn of with it. You can find out more here:

Hi Otakuon, that's a good idea to put that feature in. Post on the feedback website about this, and you never know, Microsoft just might put that feature in. Here is the link

I'm having the same issue.

but I figured something about this.

When TV that connected to XBOX is turned on. remote play works.

but when TV is turned off. remote play is not working.

if I turn on my TV first, then remote play from my PC . it works perfectly.

then if I turn off my TV. suddenly Remote play become very unstable and stuttering.

and it disconnected automatically in a minute.

I tested wireless and wired , both behaves same.

and most importantly , this issue not reproducing iPhone and android phone remote play.

mobile phone remote play works perfectly no matter TV is turned on or not.

My wife's console does this (Samsung TV) but it doesn't do it on my console and Panasonic TV and it is for the reason Jaymo1978 mentions, some TV's use the same command from the remote to turn the TV on and off. So when the Xbox One powers up, it sends the
command and turns your TV off if it was already on.

You can do as Jamo mentiones and disable the option altogether or you'll need to remember to use your TV remote to turn your TV off before you turn your console on.

Wow you are right! I recreated this behavior exactly.

It would appear that PC Remote Play has some dependency on the XBox's TV being on. This is a great find @DaewooKim1!
