    Sidebar won’t work


    I left my Xbox on for two days and when I turned it on all I saw was black. I kept turning it off then on again and eventually it showed the Xbox Home. I still am not able to access the sidebar though. I have disabled high contrast mode and I do not know
    what to do. Please help!

    :)

    No Sidebar, but the sound is there

    Exactly the same problem here. The sound effect for the sidebar but no sidebar. I tried a two year old work around that involved turning off high contrast in the accessibility tab under settings but it had no effect.

    Gamerscore won’t work

    my Xbox got hacked a while back and my gamerscore got modded which resulted me in a ban so I was wondering if I could get it sorted

    How do I remove an uninstalled game from Xbox App?

    The game isn't installed. It's been uninstalled for months.

    One day the shortcut for it started showing up in the Xbox App sidebar.

    I would like to remove shortcut from sidebar. There was a folder leftover in WindowsApps that I was finally able to get rid of, but that didn't remove the shortcut from the Xbox App sidebar.

    Sidebar not popping up and games not working

    I... hmmm.... didn't think of that, sorry. Do you have a mic or Kinect hooked up,

    or a digital assistant    , where you might be able to open settings via voice commands? "Xbox, open Settings"

    If not, then with a USB drive you might want to follow the
    Offline System Update process     which would boot up into a different menu to process that, since you can't get to the guide.

    For this, since you've tried a full power cycle,
    I'd recommend resetting the Xbox to factory defaults.     The process has an option to perform that reset, but keep your games, save files, and profile info on it so you don't have to re-install/re-download them all. Take those steps and let us know if it
    resolves the issue you're seeing.
