    A few days ago, my console was working just fine. Now all of a sudden it takes eons to do literally anything including booting up, and it keeps hanging on menus all the time. Is there a fix to all this or is my console literally dying before my eyes?

    :)

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

    Sometimes a simple power cycle can help resolve similar issues, please try the following steps:

    Please try the following steps:

    1. Press and hold the Power button on the front of your Xbox until the console turns off.

    2. Unplug the power cord from the back of your Xbox.

    3. Wait a minute, and then plug the power cord back in.

    4. Press the Power button on your Xbox to turn it back on.

    If the problem persists, please try a soft reset.

    Go to Settings > System > Console info.

    There select the option to reset the console while keeping your games and applications.

    This process will remove the accounts on your console, you just need to re-enter them with their respective email and password.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    Xbox series x controller disconnecting (latest firmware)

    Yep same issue here, cuts out every 5-10 mins and takes sometimes takes a re-sync to get back to normal.

    Three controllers tried, all three same problem. Worse on certain games, which is weird...

    Why on EARTH is it taking so long to fix? For a lot of people this makes the console redundant, my S is in the living room so I cant have silly long cables lying about the place.

    Do you know how long it would take to "Google" every applicant? There were 3000 applications when they had the change 3 weeks ago.

    Yes, I do. Every one that I checked myself here only took a matter of a few seconds to do the search itself and then just a minute or two to verify the information. It wouldn't take long at all.
