Xbox boot screen not showing when turned on

Hello @The Swann! I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums.

If your Xbox one X console won't turn on, your power supply may be faulty or improperly connected! It may simply need a power reset.

Often, power issues are due to the power supply resetting after a power surge.

To reset the internal power supply, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the power cord from the console.
   
2. Wait 10 seconds.
   
3. Plug the cord back into the console, and then press the Xbox button on the front of the console.
   

If the issue persists, please follow these steps in order to reset your console:
1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.
2.Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

Note : If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

Important If your console is in Instant-On power mode, the above steps will shut the console completely off. Instant-On mode, or the ability to turn on your console by saying "Xbox on," won't be enabled until you restart the console.

If the issue persists, here are some points to check:

• Check that the wall outlet you’re using is working with other devices.
  
• Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the wall outlet and to your console.
  
• Ensure that you're using the power cable that came with your console, and that it's the correct cable for your region.
  

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming

If your console is not on stand by it takes longer to boot up. It will show the green screen with the loading dots and then go to a black screen for a minute then show the xbox logo. Are you turning it off on the black screen before the logo appears? If
you can turn it on then quickly hold the power button on the front of the console until it turns off then unplug it for 30 seconds from the outlet then plug back in and try powering back on again. Hopefully it will be able to boot up no problem.

Hey i had the exact problem. Instead of turning it off when nothing shows up on the screen, I just left it on for a good hour and it eventually came up on the screen. I guess the xbox just had some kind of booting up issue amd it took a while.

The power button on my Xbox started flashing when it got to the startup screen after that the screen turned black and it booted up normally

Does the game simply show the splash screen and returns to the dashboard before the game's main menu appears, or is the game actually starting and crashes to the dashboard when you are supposed to press A or otherwise start the game?

Can you also try to hold the power button on the console for about 10 seconds, then turn the console back on, and make sure it shows you a green bootup screen with the Xbox One logo.

If the green boot screen is not appearing, hold the power button on the console again for 20 seconds.

After the console has finished starting and shows the home screen after the green boot screen, try to launch the game again.
