    I have a multiport usb accessory plugged in to be able to use keyboard and mouse would that be the reason?

    There is also a headset usb dongle plugged into the accessory. I will turn the xbox off but within 15 - 20 minutes it turns back on.

    The xbox series S turns on by itself.

    Hi there Ogre O.

    I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

    I am so sorry you are having issues with your Xbox turning on.

    Sometimes, certain USB hubs or accessories can send signals to the console, causing it to power on. This can happen due to voltage spikes or other electrical anomalies.

    If the keyboard or mouse sends any input (e.g., a key press or mouse movement), it could wake the console from its sleep state.

    Similarly, the headset dongle might be causing interference or sending signals that the Xbox interprets as a power-on command.

    Try unplugging the multiport USB accessory and the connected devices to see if the issue persists. If the Xbox stays off, you might need to test each device individually to identify the culprit.

    Power Settings:

    The Xbox Series S has an Instant-On mode, which allows for quick startup but can also cause the console to turn on automatically for updates or other reasons.

    Switching to Energy-Saving mode may prevent the console from turning on automatically, as this mode fully powers down the console.

    Go to Settings > General > Power mode & startup, and switch from Instant-On to Energy-Saving mode to see if this resolves the issue.

    Automatic Updates:

    The Xbox Series S might be turning on to download and install system updates.
    Similar to system updates, the console might power on to download game updates.

    Check the settings under System > Updates & downloads and disable automatic updates temporarily to see if the auto power-on stops.

    If your Xbox is connected to a TV with HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) enabled, the TV might be sending signals that cause the Xbox to turn on.

    Check the HDMI-CEC settings on both your TV and Xbox. On the Xbox, you can find this setting under Settings > General > Power mode & startup > TV & A/V power options.

    Controller Input:

    If your controller is connected wirelessly and gets disturbed or moved, it might send a signal to turn on the console.

    Ensure your controllers are properly stored and not prone to accidental inputs.

    I hope this helps.

    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

    Why is my headset only playing background noise

    It's an Xbox Series S, I can turn my TV volume on and I can hear it perfectly fine, I think it's something wrong about the Xbox itself, and it happens when I connect it, I don't know how to use wireless

    Later via xbox cloud perhaps, but not on the console itself. Series X/s only.
