Why wont my xbox one preparing console pass 50%

Hi Richard! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

Have you just performed a factory reset? Are you able to change your network on your console? It may be a network issue and changing it may fix it.

im having a similar problem on my series x. when i turned it on i got the e200 system error and mo matter how many times and methods i tried to reset the console, the preparing console screen wont make it past 50%

Ive tried factory reset the console got up 50% and failed so im guessing ill have to get a new xbox

Hi TomBowler1,

Thanks again for your reply. If you've got your USB loaded up and inserted into a USB port, but its still not being recognized & allowing you to proceed with selection of the OSU, then that would surely be frustrating.

Have you attempted to
select a factory reset for the console? It should provide you the option that allows you to
keep your games & apps installed and it will remove any potentially damaging files from the console's OS that may be holding you up in proceeding with the OSU. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend that as the next step. Lastly, if
it does continue to misbehave, a full factory reset (removing everything) may be worth a try as well. Be sure to remove your USB from the console prior to trying this out, as well as knowing your profile log in credentials (email address & password) as all
profiles are removed during a factory reset.

Should you try absolutely every option presented but the console still will not continue to update, then you may need to replace your Xbox One console as Microsoft no longer services the Original Xbox One.

Give these additional troubleshooting options a try and please let us know the results.

I hope that this helps you a bit more.

Is your shipping still under warranty?
