The xbox turned on by itself, what do I do?

Hi, I'm a user who plays from XBOX ONE S, and today I encountered a strange problem, while the Xbox is off, it turns on by itself, so I'm forced to unplug the power cord, and remember, it's Xbox One S, so it has a PHYSICAL power button, that means it can't be turned on with powder, so I'm afraid it could be a paranormal thing, or anyway, whatever it is I want an answer to help me because I'm really anxious.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

We may just need to switch your power mode to shutdown mode.

"Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Power options.

Select the Shut-down (energy saving) option."

You may have set your console to sleep mode all this time wherein the console:

"Sleeps instead of turns off

Uses more power

Needed for remote wake and fast boot

Starts up faster

Wakes your console with your voice (where available)"

That would be great. If that still didn't work, if you can try plugging it in on a different wall, we can try that.

I had already selected energy saving

Tomorrow I will try, for now I had to disconnect the power cables because it turned on every 20/30 minutesTomorrow I will try, for now I had to disconnect the power cables because it turned on every 20/30 minutes

I appreciate you letting me know. If it's already set to energy-saving mode, please perform a powercycle on your console. This should do the trick.

POWERCYCLE CONSOLE

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.
