Xbox One S taking forever to start up

DuaneFerreira · May 22, 2022

Hi all. So I've been having this issue all of a sudden where my Xbox takes ages when it is in the green screen to go anywhere. Once or twice after sooo many minutes it actually gave some error code whith a whoooolllleee lot of 0's. Am I right to persume that it migh be cache causing this? Anyone had this issue and fixed it other than to reset factory settings? Thank you

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Duane, I don't know how long your Xbox One S has been in its way, but depending on how long it may be slow cause of dirt inside it (dust), this consequently compromises the cooling of the console.

If you've tried both types of factory reset, keeping games and Apps and erasing everything, and it's still slow and slow to start and slow to navigate menus, it may need an internal cleanup.

Hello Fudgebar! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Sounds like it could be the HDD could be failing. Have you tried going into Safe Mode and reset the Xbox and keeping games and apps?

Try booting with the HDD removed. If it boots quicker, it could be an issue with the HDD. If it still is slow, try booting without an internet connection. The Xbox sometimes waits for an internet connection.

If you can, try updating without an HDD in (some updates can go through, while others can't), then try it again.

If none of those things work it make just be the xbox it selves getting old. I have had xboxs that do this. I would prepare for a new xbox while it still works

Does it run fine once it's up and running?
