    Why won't YouTube work AT ALL on my Xbox S?


    When I open YouTube on my Xbox S I can't play anything. Sometimes it will give me audio but with a blank screen, other times the screen will go black and after a moment it will go close and return to the Xbox home screen, and other times it will just freeze in which case I have to return to the home screen manually. I have checked for updates, I have uninstalled YouTube and reinstalled it. Nothing works...help?

    :)

    Why won't YouTube work AT ALL on my Xbox S?

    Hi, Richard! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with YouTube.

    • Do you have any external storage units plugged into your console? If so, may I ask where is YouTube installed?

    • Have you checked if the app works correctly when using a different account to launch it?

    • May I ask if you have already tried the following troubleshooting steps?

    Power cycle:

    - Press the Xbox button to open the guide
    - Highlight the app, press the menu button, and select "Quit"
    - Press and hold your console's power button until it shuts down.
    - Unplug your console's power cord for 5 minutes.
    - Plug the power back into the console.
    - Turn your console on and try launching the app again.

    Soft factory reset:

    By "Soft" I mean that none of your games will be uninstalled, but accounts and local save data will be removed from the console. This would help refresh your system as well as clear any temporary files that may be causing this. To do so:

    - Go to Settings > System > Console info > Reset Xbox > Keep games and apps.
    - Just keep in mind you will need an internet connection and your account details (for each account) to sign in again.

    * Note: 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 the Xbox Network, your saved data should be backed up on the cloud.

    ------------

    I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards.

    win 10 game bar captures gaming ok but to capture desktop it does audio with black screen - how to fix

    It's peculiar my HP 8300sff the win10 capture will work for youtube and fibre tv(tvbell.ca) on desktop, to watch live golf, but my gaming pc (i5,16ram,gtx780ti) win 10 capture will record gaming on steam, youtube video but will not record fibre tv(tvbell.ca) on desktop (audio with black screen)

    Why it won't work fibre tv(tvbell.ca) but works on youtube and steam games is I think is too weird to troubleshoot.

    Thanks.
