Xbox one: startup error - Everytime I try to switch from retail to Dev mode, it takes me to...

No not the insider Programm i think I use the officail dev mode app to switch my xbox to dev mode from retail

On the
official instructions to set up Dev Mode on the Xbox One it states the following:

"NOTE:

Your retail games and apps won’t run in Developer Mode, but the apps or games you create will. Switch back to Retail Mode to run your favorite games and apps."

So not being able to run your installed apps and games you got from the Store is perfectly normal. In Dev Mode you can ONLY run the programs you sideloaded. To be able to run retail games and regular Apps from Marketplace, you will have to switch back to
retail mode and exit Dev Mode.

As I stated it's a problem with my side loaded apps nothing to do with retail mode.

Any sideloaded app I download or created works on the current power session. But if I reboot the console I have to delete them and reinstall. For them to work again. I understand that store content won't work in dev mode And vice versa.

Hello Realzmg,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

When switching from dev mode to retail mode on your Xbox, you may deactivate your console in dev mode through Xbox Dev Mode app, reset your console and deactivate your console using Partner Center. This is because dev mode allows for the installation of unsupported software and changes to the system that are not compatible with retail mode.

Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the factory reset or save your data before switching modes. It is recommended that you back up any important data before switching modes to avoid losing it.

Ok. go to settings/ all settings/ power & startup/ power mode & startup

is there a check mark in when xbox is off turn off storage ?

if so take that check mark out, if you're using instant on power mode change to energy saving, reboot the xbox, if the drive works ok then switch back to instant on and try again.
