  1. The xbox turns off when I launch some games


    Ok so when i turn on my xbox everything seems fine until i try to launch one of my games like sonic frontiers or marvel rivals etc it turns off my xbox when i try to get in a match or load in a save. Some games i able to play like brotato and sonic mania but i dont know why almost every other game on my xbox is turning it off. this has been happening for two weeks now and i am starting to think the xbox overheated but i didnt get a warning for overheating and its in a open space. Can someone please help me i just want to play with my friends

    :)

    it's not overheated, but there's likely some capacitors failing. When you start a game the power requirements greatly increase and that is likely causing your problem. You would need to send it in for repair

    Splitgate will not start whatsoever.

    New problem. When I did this, the game launched, and when it launched I started up a game of casual, and when I loaded into the game, my Xbox completely shut off on me. This was also happening when I was in the tutorial stage of the game. The Xbox completely turned off 3 times before this 4th occurrence.

    Anyway to fix it? It is currently on my internal storage drive, and I am playing on an Xbox One S. I just want to play the game and my Xbox keeps shutting off.

    Also when it is turning off, I turn it back on, and it chimes and I have the chime feature off on my Xbox, and the chime makes a very scratchy Xbox on sound also, just thought I should throw that in there.

    every time i want to play an xbox 360 game on my xbox series x it forces me to start from the beginning

    i have tried to close the game but keep the xbox on, and that also works, when launching the game after closing it, it keeps the saved game and i can load the last checkpoint.

    so the problem only happens when i turn the xbox off, regardless of i close the game or not before turning the xbox off.

    Xbox Series X Allow Dolby Vision/Dolby for Gaming and Allow Auto Low Latency Mode

    Another Nuance came up. Now when streaming with dolby vision Off. Wnen I stream Dolby Content with Netflix through XBOX, within the XBOX settings upon launch of Netflix Dolby vision turns off ALLM in my XBOX and plays Dolby regardless of setting in the XBOX. And launching a game there after it does not turn off dolby vision for gaming or allow dolby vision, nor does it turn back on ALLM. I wanted to try to avoid changing the 4K options everytime I want to do something else.
