Turn off your console. Press and hold the sync button (the small one you use to connect your wireless controllers). While holding press the power button to turn your console on. Continue to hold the sync button until the console is completely booted up.

Go to System Settings and select Storage.

On your controller, press the following button sequence:

Press the left bumper.

Press the right bumper.

Press the X button.

Press the left bumper.

Press the right bumper.

Press the X button.

Restart your console and try update.

Let us know how that goes.

 

Thanks for the reply.

No joy. Uninstalled and re-installed. Still starts fine and plays for 2-5 minutes and "loses connection". Also tried to connect with update not applied. Still failed. Checked Windows 7 server and applied all updates. Only clue was an unfinished Media
Center update that disappeared on shutdown and reboot. Can't find a way verify if update completed.

Would appreciate and additional ideas.

Thanks.

 

Found the issue! The Windows Update push 12/10 was the issue, Roll-Back before the updates and everything is working now. So something is wrong with the Windows update 12/10.

 

Anyone know how to give Microsoft this information so they can fix that security patch?
