    Unable to sync worlds after system reset keeping games and apps


    Hello, so I am trying to sync the data of my nine year minecraft world. I bought a realm on my xbox one so I could download the world on my xbox series X because it said that the data was corrupted. Now it is saying the same thing about the same world I have put countless new hours on after the transfer to my xbox series X. Any new worlds I have made are not present as well as the original world I have put so much time into. This all occurred after I reset my xbox while keeping games and apps so I could sync data to another game (Fallout 4) from my previous xbox.

    :)

    Unable to sync worlds after system reset keeping games and apps

    Hi, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I'm sorry to know that, Jacob. To fix this, we may need to perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

    1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

    2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

    3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    If that didn't work, you may need to check this link from Mojang support: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    XBOX One - Minecraft (bedrock edition) - Lost a world yesterday

    Hi thank you. I will try that. I'll try reset but keep games and apps first to see if that fixes my problem. Then I'll try more aggressive reset to factory.

    if that doesn't work I'll just accept that the minecraft world is gone. I chatted with support 30 minutes ago and they say I probably had a corrupted file that synced to live and that is why I can't get my game world back because the saved data sync as
    corrupted data.

    But this reset to factory may clear out something that was keeping me from getting my game world. I'll give it a shot.

    Thanks!

    Xbox Controller Disconnects, but it is Still On?

    Thanks, please try after the update.

    If the issue persists, try performing a factory reset but keeping games and apps

    Open settings > system > console info > reset, then select reset and keep my games and apps

    After that, please re-sync the controller with your console and test how it goes.

    If none of the above works, try instead performing an offline update for your system:

    In that way Xbox system will be installed from scratch.

    For this you need a USB and PC to format it and transfer files provided in the link below (with steps):

    Wordament is not saving games.

    To reset your Xbox data, go to Settings, APPs, Apps & Features, scroll to Xbox icons. You will see two or three Xbox icons each one will need to be reset. Click on the first one, select advanced options,
    click Reset button, I did it twice to make sure. I should show app: 0 bytes and data is 8.0 KB.
    Once you have reset all three, reboot your system. Restart the game."

    In addition to resetting the three xbox apps, I also reset the Ultimate Word Games App and the Microsoft Store App before restarting (I read on another post that this can help as well).

    Once I restarted the game the Sync Data screen popped up and began to sync again. Once the sync was done I did get the error message about being unable to sync, I clicked "Try Again" and then the
    game finally opened with my saved progress.
