What does resetting your console do?

Luce Daddy · Apr 26, 2018

I am planning on selling my Xbox to my friend and I have already deleted my account off of my Xbox but I want to know if I reset this console back to factory settings, will I lose my account and all my games? Also, when I get my new Xbox how will I get my
games back?

Xbox Controller Randomly Disconnects

thanks a lot for answering. But hard resetting and unplugging does what to the console?

Resetting it to factory settings will make it so the console will act like it did outside of the box. As long as you have an online account, your account is saved on Xbox's servers so resetting your console will not delete anything on your account. When
you get your new console, you would just sign into your account and all of your game will be able to be redownloaded for free.

Did you try holding the bind and eject longer than mentioned? Since it is having some trouble starting up it could need to be held in longer than normal.

Barring that, i would suggest contacting Live chat support or Phone support, as they will know more about how to help you.

Hope you get it fixed.

Does it tell you to buy it again on the Xbox console? What does it say on the website, does it not say you owned it?

You can also try using an Xbox app to your mobile phone and check if you can do remote installation from there. If not, you can try doing a reset on the console too.

NOTE: This will remove the profiles on your console, make sure that you remember the email and password to your account.

No data or game saves will be lost doing this, everything is backed up to the cloud servers.

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select System.

4. Select Console info

5. Select Reset console.

6. Select Reset and keep my games & apps

This will also help sync the data on your console properly.

If that does not help still and you want to request for a refund, you can do that here:

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Mark, when it says you did a reset on your console, did you reset keep games and apps or what do you delete everything?

Is it only Fifa 23 that is not recognized on your console or does this happen with other disc games as well?

Hi, have you tried to hard reset your console? This could help stabilize your download issues, at least this is what I do if I am having difficulties. If that does not work, let us know.
