    Turn off after inactivity?


    I have it set to turn off after one hour of inactivity which worked for the most part until I got an external storage drive and it would turn off while updating and restart the update so I switched the external drive to be on all the time too. Well now I
    wake up at like 7 in the morning with my xbox still on and it's not downloading anything at all.

    So does getting an external drive not let the xbox turn off by itself? Id rather that not be the issue seeing as I can fit like 8 arcade games on my xbox

    :)

    Can connect to internet, but NOT LIVE. (Not a customer of Virgin)

    Turn off UPnP, after that turn off the router and turn it back on, then turn the UPnP back on.

    Xbox Turns on after i turn it off.

    The same thing is happening to me. The power is off then the console just turns itself on. I turn it off at the button and a little while later it turns on again.

    Download Games from PC to Hard Drive?

    Absolutely! It appears you don't haven't adjusted the "Turn Off After..." setting.

    To do this:

    1) Double tap your Home button to bring up the Guide.

    2) Scroll down to Settings. Select All Settings.

    3) Select Power. Under Turn off or restart, you will see "Turn Off After" - This allows you to set your console to turn off automatically when not being used. Your options are 1 hour of inactivity, 6 hours of inactivity or Don't turn off automatically. Select
    the "Don't turn off automatically" and that will keep your console on even when you are inactive for extended periods of time.

    Turn off after period of inactivity

    I have been in contact with Xbox Support and they are suggesting that running the TV app in full screen is making the XboxOne consider that activity and therefore it'll never turn off... despite whether it's actually receiving a signal or not (my TiVo shuts
    itself off after 4 hours). Doesn't seem much use for an entertainment centre to never turn itself off when you're using the TV app even if no TV signal is being received. It should really look for button presses or if the controller hasn't been connected for
    a period of time then it's likely the XboxOne could shut itself down. I might try tonight putting the XboxOne to Home and switching to another source to see whether it's off by morning. If it is then it's unlikely I'll be using the Xbox to watch TV anymore.

    Turn off after period of inactivity

    The Ambassador I chatted with had me do this:

    1. Hold the Xbox logo on the console for 10 sec

    2. Press the xbox logo once to turn the xbox back on. This cleared the cache

    3. Go back to setting and change it to 1 hour if not already and see if that works.

    If that doesn't work try changing the power mode to energy savings and see. I don't know if this will actually work but thats what they told me to try. Worth a shot to see if that fixes the problem. I have shut down my xbox several times since friday but
    I would like to wake up in the morning and see my xbox turned off. The ambassador also said if this didn't work to came back and tell support that we already cleared cache and tried both power modes. Hope this works for both of us and anyone else who has this
    problem.
