    Xbox one turned itself on


    I was at my parents house and they had an Xbox one on and Xbox live running. Out of nowhere my gamertag popped up and said I was online. I went home with a loaded gun to make sure no one was in my home since I live alone. I found everything in the house
    off, lights, tv's, etc. My Xbox one was the ONLY thing on in the house. My controller was off, tv was off no explanation as to what caused this. I found out searching the internet this happens a lot. Need to find a way to fix this or else I'll be getting
    rid of my Xbox and going back to Playstation.

    :)

    XBOX ONE Turned on by itself.

    If you have the Xbox set to instant on mode, and if it's not turning your TV on, it might just be your Xbox checking for and/or downloading the available updates. It checks for and installs them nightly if available.

    Mine too. I don't have a Kinect hooked up to it. Just woke up this morning and it was on. Turned it off, and a couple of hours later it did the same thing. Suddenly I'm regretting my decision to stick with xbox over playstation. It disgusts me to say that,
    but it's the truth. Xbox one turned itself on :(

    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?

    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.
