  1. Settings is not opening


    I recently wanted to check my network settings when I clicked on settings it opened a window saying I need to download game or app with error code(0x80270254) You need to install the game or app for this Make sure you're signed in to xbox live and look
    for it in Microsoft store? I also wanted to download YouTube and when it finished downloading it said there was also an error? My Xbox one s console is only a year and a half old. Everything seems to work fine but settings is not accessible?

    :)

    Let’s Power Cycle the Console: Please unplug from the power supply for two minutes then try again.

    Please Reset your Internet Connection also.

    Hey there, Nitro Tommy 007!

    Sorry to hear about that.

    That powercycling step that was previously posted would be a great step to try but if that doesn't work, then you might want to try going through a soft reset through the troubleshooting menu.

    Here are some steps on how to do that straight from our page
    Troubleshoot Xbox One startup errors
    :

    1. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
    2. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the power cord back in.
    3. Press and hold the BIND button (located on the left side of the console) and the
      EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the
      Xbox button on the console.
    4. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
    5. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the
      BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
    6. The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.
    When prompted, select Keep games and apps. This option will reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps.

    Give them a shot if powercycling doesn't work and it should clear up your issue.

    Thanks!!

    Can’t open settings

    Hello! I couldn't understand it directly, the problem is just that your control is not working? After clearing the cache and resetting, did you try to synchronize the control again?
