Xbox turns it's self on

I've found people are having same problem but can't find any answers as to why it's happening! Mine has now started doing it today, so far happened twice but why is this happening and how can it be fixed?

Hey there UnkleSimo!

If you haven't in a while, unplug your console and wipe it clean using a soft cloth sprayed with household cleaner. Make sure there are no fingerprints or anything stuck over the button. Next, if your console is plugged into a surge protector or power strip,
plug it straight into the wall instead. And finally, check to see if your console is set to instant-on mode. If it is, you'll want to try swapping it over to

energy-saver mode.

Hopefully something there does the trick for you.

Hey ChuchaDe2Madre3! Is the console plugged directly in to a wall outlet? Is the console set to Instant-On or Energy-Saver mode? Post back and let us know!

Not sure what make is best i brought a seagate 5TB usb 3 off amazon for £130.

Really good easy to format just plug it in to the xbox 1 and it dose the rest its self.

Turns on when your xbox is on and turns its self off when you turn your xbox off.

Hey there ozzie!

I'm sorry to hear about the issue. It sounds like your console may be in instant-on mode. Try switching it over to

energy-saver mode to see if that helps at all. If that doesn't do it, I'd recommend

factory resetting your console while keeping your games and apps.

Let us know if that helps!
