    Update broke Xbox 26/08/2021


    I left the Xbox to install the latest update and came back to find a black screen that won’t go off. I’ve tried turning the Xbox on and off, turning the power off at the wall and unplugging it and have messed around with all the useless suggestions given by the Xbox Virtual Chat.

    No matter what I do I can’t get off the black screen. Even the pressing the eject and sync buttons thing stays on a black screen. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this as I can’t even do a factory settings reset and I’m guessing Microsoft releasing a patch to fix this screw up won’t do a thing as I can’t see anything to know that it needs installing?

    :)

    Hello @Evermore3872! I hope you're doing great today!

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience this situation is causing you. Here's a solution for the black screen. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes!

    You can reset your console using the Xbox Start-up Trouble-shooter. To bring up the Xbox Start-up Trouble-shooter, follow these steps:

    1. Power off your console, and then unplug the mains lead to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
    2. Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the mains lead back in.
    3. Press and hold the Pair button and the Eject button on the console, and then press the Xbox button on the console.

      (Note The Xbox Series S and the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition do not have Eject buttons. You can bring up the Xbox Start-up Trouble-shooter on these consoles by holding only the Pair button (steps 3 & 4) and then pressing the Xbox button)
    4. Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10-15 seconds.
    5. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the Pair and Eject buttons after the second power-up tone.
    6. The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Start-up Trouble-shooter.
    To reset your console from the Xbox Start-up Trouble-shooter, use the D-pad and A button on your controller to select Reset this Xbox. When prompted, select Keep games and apps. This option will reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps.

    Make sure to keep us updated!

    I hope this helps you out!
