Hi Bfoxxtrot, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Have you tried to check the controller test on the Xbox Accessories App?

Press the Xbox Guide Button > Settings > Devices & Connections > Controllers & Headsets > Enter Test Mode (Click on the Conical/Lab Flask Icon beside the three dots ...).

See if the Xbox button is being pressed on its own ro not registering the input.

If it's damaged, and your controller is still under warranty, please, submit a repair request.

Please, register your device on this link: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/warranty-service/register-your-product

Then, fill out the repair form: https://account.microsoft.com/devices/select-device-for-repair

You can check the warranty terms here: https://support.microsoft.com/help/...ce-plans-and-terms-conditions-for-your-device

I hope this helps.

Hi SzaboSandor,

I would try hard power cycling the console as below:

To perform a hard restart, hold the power button for 10 seconds while the system is on. The system will turn off. When you hit the button again, it will start and display the green start-up screen. All your data is preserved, but cache is cleared and some
settings are reverted and log-in or game start issues are resolved.

Alternatively, you can perform a full shutdown by going to SETTINGS > POWER & STARTUP and change POWER MODE from Instant-On to Energy-saving. After changing the setting, choose "Turn Xbox off". It can be powered back on by holding down the GUIDE button
on the Xbox controller or the button on the front of the Xbox console. Once it's back online you can go back to SETTINGS > POWER & STARTUP and re-enable Instant-on.

You can try cleaning up your video game. Turn it on, and then press the xbox button until it makes a noise and then it will turn off completely, then turn it on again and it will take a long time to enter again, because it is doing an internal cleaning. This can solve the problem

It's easy to tell by how long it takes to come back on. You hold down the power button on the front to turn it off completely even with instant on enabled.

The power brick light is green when it's running, also lately the Xbox seems to take quite a long time to turn off completely, most of the time double tapping the power button pad thing it'll turn off immediately, I'm wondering if it doing this is a symptom
(for lack of a better word) of the malfunction.
