Xbox One is stuck in a System Update loop

JasperScard · May 23, 2021

My Xbox One has recently been having problems and I cannot use it. One day after I hadn't used it for a month or so, it

said it needed a system update. When it restarted halfway through the update (as it's supposed to), it turned off and I had

to turn it back on manually. It said it needed the update again. I went through this loop many times, then searched for

help. One article said to do a factory reset, so I did, but the same predicament arose once again. It no longer allows me to use the Xbox with no connection, which was an option before, and that's how I reset it. Now I can't. Please help me.

Is there any other fix besides the offline system update because these updates are literally making my xbox one usable im stuck in a loop are there any other fixes?

We recommend going over the steps mentioned below:

Press the Pair button and Eject button at the same time forces the console to look for the USB drive update, as the console won't look for a USB drive unless it needs it. This helps to decrease console start times for all startups when this step is not needed.

The first power-up tone occurs approximately 10 seconds after powering up. This indicates that a USB update has been detected. The second power-up tone indicates that the update file has been copied and mounted. This is important, as it confirms you have successfully initiated the process.

If the reset wasn't very helpful as well, it's time to follow the steps mentioned in the link below to perform an offline update on your console.

How long have you had the Xbox for?

Sounds like it's stuck in a loop. Are you able to try an offline update with a USB stick? That should do the trick for you. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/system-updates-solution
