    Xbox Turns On Randomly

    Hey there RoastedToast16,

    That's an interesting one, we've not seen many reports of that issue happening at all. Is this an original Xbox One model, or an Xbox One S model? If it's an original model, try unplugging the console from the power source and cleaning the power button with
    a soft try cloth to remove any fingerprints or debris.

    If that doesn't help, make sure your console is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector/power strip. The Xbox One console has a built in surge protector, so if it's connected to another one, it's very possible that there could be a
    power issue going on. Aside from that, it's also possible the console is downloading updates in the background. Do you have the console set to Instant On mode or Energy Saving mode?

    Let us know!

    Turning on randomly

    So, you do not have any other controller that you know of? When you go to bed take the batteries out of all of your controllers. If this does not work that night, try taking the batteries out of every remote in your house that you can think of. If this still
    does not work, it might be your Xbox that is malfunctioning. It is vary unlikely that someone else is using a controller and messing with yours because you have to sinc them to the Xbox.

    Does this solve your problem? Yes | No

    Randomly Turning On

    Hey there Buir!

    When was the last time you wiped your console down? Go ahead and unplug your console and then spray a soft, clean cloth with a household cleaner and wipe down your console on all sides. Be sure that there's no dust or fingerprints or anything over the power
    button. Then go ahead and plug your console back in, being sure to use a wall outlet (not a surge protector or power strip), and see if the issue persists. If so, is your console currently set to instant-on mode? If it is, you'll want to swap it over to

    energy-saver mode    . If after all that your console still decides it doesn't like to sleep, go ahead and try

    factory resetting     it. You can keep your games and apps so you won't have to reinstall everything.

    Keep us posted! :)

    Ok, does it turn on only when your TV is on? Or does it randomly turn on anytime?
