    When I try to play games it sometimes kicks me back to the menu without warning or reason

    Hi, Marleymon2003! thank you for reaching out.

    My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues with your console.

    I'd suggest doing a soft factory reset, like this:

    - Go to Settings > System > Console info > Reset console > Keep games and apps.

    Just keep in mind you will need an internet connection and your account details (email and password) to complete the setup process.

    *** Resetting your console to its factory defaults erases all accounts, saved games, settings, and home Xbox associations. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. If your console has been constantly connected to the internet and Xbox Live services, your saved data should be backed up on the cloud.

    //

    If that doesn't work, please answer the following questions:

    - May I ask which Xbox model you have?

    - Do you have any external storage units plugged into your console?

    - Is this happening with both disc-based and digital games?

    - Is your console enrolled in the Xbox Insider program?

    Thank you!

    Best regards.

    Hi, Marleymon2003! thank you for your reply.

    To clarify, did you try the factory reset I mentioned?

    //

    Sometimes a corrupted/malfunctioning external storage unit can cause this kind of problem. Please unplug your external storage unit and run the games from the console's internal storage instead.

    If it's only one game that you are currently having trouble with, you could also try reinstalling it.

    Please let me know if that works.

    Hi, Marleymon2003! I’m glad to hear that.
    There might be some corrupted data in your external hard drive that is causing games to crash. You could try formatting your hard drive to prevent this from happening in the future.

    Thank you for letting me help! Have a good day/night and take care.
