The hdmi in on Xbox X doesn't work properly after playing a game from the cloud.

I'm very sorry to hear that your Xbox doesn't seem to be displaying... have you checked the following?

• Verify HDMI cable works with another device
• Verify the HDMI input on your TV or Receiver works with another device
• Verify that the HDMI cable is plugged into the HDMI IN port on the Xbox One X
• If you have another display (like a HDMI computer monitor or another TV) try connecting it to that
• Try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable while the Xbox One X is powered on

Check if it's just the display having issues... if if the Xbox One X isn't booting properly:

1. Turn on the Xbox One X, and connect a LAN cable to your Xbox One X and to your router
2. Log into your router and check to see if your Xbox One X is showing up on the network
3. If you can see it on your network than that means that there's an issue in your display chain specifically
4. If you can't check it that way, see if the Xbox App can detect your Xbox on the network

Do controllers wired to the Xbox One X power on and light up properly? This is another way to check and see if it's a display issue, or if the XBox One X isn't even booting properly

Hopefully one of the items listed above will help us get closer to the source of your problem 🙂

I plugged my HDMI from my xbox into the HDMI port on my laptop and went to the XBOX app on my laptop and the controller works it even let's me play cloud gaming games on it. I just don't understand why neither of the TVS are showing signal if it obviously works.

If the adapter is built properly, it will work. There are reports of adapters not properly pinned that result in strange behavior - the 360 rebooting when the HDMI input on the display is switched to something else, or HDCP not working.



If you go the adapter route, try playing a DVD on the console after hooking up the adapter. If it plays over HDMI, the adapter's ok.

Hi LAPIII,

The Xbox One doesn't work like the 360 in terms of storage. Saves are all saved to your console, and then sync'd with the cloud (provided you're online and signed in). If you play another Xbox One or factory reset your Xbox One your game saves will sync
back from the cloud and save your game locally after you start playing.

I have tried playing the game on a desktop and there are no scaling problems, I even tried plugging my laptop into my desktop 1080p monitor via a hdmi cable and the game worked on the monitor with no scaling problems.

It is just when I try and play on the laptop screen it doesn't work properly.
