    Why does my Xbox keep saying something went wrong?


    So I got a Series S about a month ago and today all of a sudden whenever I tried to enter any game of mine it’d always say “Something went wrong”. I’ve tried everything, power cycling, factory resetting, etc. and the issue still persists. What is going on??????

    :)

    Why does my Xbox keep saying something went wrong?

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    Kindly try clearing your console's cache by following the steps below;

    1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Plug the console power cable back in.

    4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    If it still doesn't work, kindly try using both a wireless and wired connection (if possible try using a mobile hotspot as well) and see if it will make any difference.

    Why my game keep saying something went wrong

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I would like to clarify, what is the title of the game? Also, what device are you using?

    it keeps saying something went wrong

    Sorry to hear it. If power cycling the console by holding the power button on it for 10 seconds doesn't work then you may need to try a factory reset. There is an option to keep installed games and apps on the console so you won't need to redownload
    them.

    it keeps saying something went wrong

    The solution to this problem is a factory reset (keeping games and apps):

    If you can not reset your console via the settings menu as seen here:

    Settings > System > Console Info & Updates > Reset console > "keep games and apps".

    You will need to reset your console in a pre-boot state:

    1. First, eject any discs.

    2. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

    3. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the power cord back in.

    4. Press and hold the BIND button (to connect controllers) and the EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox power button on the console. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.

    5. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.

    6. The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.

    7. Select to reformat the console keeping games and apps.

    If that does not work you will need to factory reset the console using the USB method. This will erase everything on the console:
