Xbox One S shuts down after sleep when starting an app

Hey there,

Sorry to hear about the odd issue. Are you in the Xbox Insider program? If so, please be sure to report this through the Feedback app and post in our

Xbox Insider forums for further assistance.

Hey Blitzernnn, thanks for answering.

Yes this is helping, but only exactly one time which is the next start after the procedure. When I shut down to light sleep afterwards I have the same problem again after starting.

BodenAssassin make your own thread :-D

It's not a sleep timer, but there are options on your console to have it automatically shut down after a certain period of non-use. Just use that.

I believe the options are "1 Hour" and "6 Hour". They don't work if you have a open app such as Netflix; who would want Netflix to shut down one hour into a movie. A sleep timer would be a great idea.

Can you try clearing your system cache by performing a power cycle by following the steps below?

To do this:

For Xbox One:

- Go to the Home screen.

- Press the Menu button on the controller.

- Select Settings.

- Go to Sleep Mode & Start-Up

- Select Shut Down.

For Series X|S:

- Open Settings on Xbox.

- Select the General tab.

- Click on Power Options.

- Under the “Options” section, click the “Shutdown now” option.

- Click the “Shut down” button.

For BOTH methods, it is more affective by unplugging the power cord for 1 minute after sutting the console down.

Once done, power up the console and see if the issue continues.
