Standby mode not working, (included full settings in post): Alexa connection & remote play...

Hello,

TLDR: I am experiencing two issues that I believe revolve around Standby mode with my Xbox Seriex X not being able to receive remote connection commands/ staying connected. And it doesn't work when powered on either.

After literally having spent 2 days of fiddling, double and triple checking, and searching the depths of this glorious place we call Reddit, along with the broader internet, all to no avail; I now must succumb to asking for some advice & opinions please...

Here are my two issues that I have, I suspect they could be connected to Standby mode, but they may not be, and really in my mind they should not be as I can't get core features to work even when powered on...:

1. When in Standby mode, by Xbox Series X disconnects from my Alexa setup and any routines I create. It reappears and Alexa detects it when I turn the console on manually though.
   1. This is the reason it all started, I was trying to integrate Alexa with my Xbox. I have some splitters going on to integrate Philips Hue, but I've also disconnected all of that and gone with a direct connection and it still yields the same issue.
   2. So I then checked remote play via the PC Xbox App, and checked turning on remotely via my Companion App, (Companion app hasn't really always worked consistently in powering on my Xbox over the time I've had my Xbox anyway but just assumed it was buggy app stuff); and neither of these work either, so that is thus problem two, below:
2. Cannot remote play using the PC Xbox app, even when switched on, nor remotely power on - I get an error code I cannot trace online: "cV: uFCK2PFL6ZTY+R6x1B4uw6.21"
   1. This is the case even when the console is switched on.
   2. I can't remotely turn it on from either the Companion App or my PC Xbox App.
   3. Sort of an irrelevant check I did: I can however connect to it from my PC when it's switched on, when using the Windows Remote display over WiFi from my PC. The Xbox is also visible on my network via wired too. I have tried these separately too with having only one connection type. Primarily I have done everything on wired (both going into the same router), I just tested the wireless remote connection for shits and giggles.

I can find a lot of references online to ensuring 'Instant-on' is set in the power mode, but I don't have this setting on my Xbox, only 'standby mode', which I think is simply a recent rename? Does this mean some other things have changed? I was able to remote play from my PC in the past.

Here are the settings on the Xbox:

• Sleep mode: standby
• Enabled remote features: on
• Allow connections from any device
• Allow play to streaming
• No account access or content restrictions
• When xbox is off, turn off storage: unticked
• Enable digital assistants: ticked
• Network: Wired, same router directly via ethernet cable.
• Nat Test: Open
• Test remote play: all green ticks, "good to go"
• Device control: HDMI-CEC ticked with all sub options ticked.
• Tried changing HDMI cables. I have just purchased a bunch of new 48 Gbit/s ones. They work as I can stream and play 4k HDR UHD content to my TV fine in 60hz with my Xbox Series X.
• Network speed: over 450Mbps, the super quick stuff.

Have I tried restarts, full power offs, plugs out = You bet I have, so many times I've lost count.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be missing or where I go from here please?

Thank you!
