    Xbox one is turning on by itself


    Bought my regular body Xbox One December 2015. It turns on randomly by itself. I thought it may be to automatically update, but it appears to just be turning on for no reason. I leave it plugged into a power-strip that is off most of the time when not in
    use, but even if I leave it on for a day or two, the Xbox turns on in that small time frame, so I have no clue how often it would do it if plugged in all the time. I saw other threads that said to start a separate support post, so here I am. Thanks.

    :)

    Firstly, how is the Xbox connected to power? Is it plugged directly to the wall outlet, or behind a power strip/surge protector? The latter can cause electrical "hiccups" with the system, as the Xbox One's power supply already has built-in surge protection.

    Xbox One turns on by itself

    try to clean the front panel - power and eject areas with damp soft tissue, also make sure it is not close to things that can cause interference, like if console is next cell phone , house phone, audio receiver, etc, make sure it has some distance between
    console and other electronics. Also maybe move console and see if the same thing happens. ,

    Hey ImWatchinYou69! Is the console plugged directly in to a wall outlet? Are you using Energy-Saver mode or Instant-On? When the console turns on, do you hear the chime from the console as well? Post back and let us know!

    XBox one turns on by itself

    Hey there leogaboardi,

    That's an interesting problem for sure. Is your console in Instant On mode or Energy Saving mode? It's possible the console is downloading updates so it appears to be on. Is this an Xbox One S console or an original Xbox One console?

    Xbox one turns itself on

    My xbox one also turns on at seemingly random times. It did it this morning while I was still in bed and last night while I was on a different floor of the house. No schedule that I can tell. Two changes that happened recently the fall update and I changed
    to energy saving setting.

    Xbox one turns on itself??

    Yep, definitely sounds like a stray signal from something else.

    There are now that many devices that have remote control or use wireless signals that it`s entirely possible for one to cause interference with another.
