Xbox One Turns Itself On

nr96 · Jan 25, 2014

My Day One console keeps turning on by itself at random times. I do leave the kinect connected and have it on quick start up and have it set up to turn on my tv when its on. It usually happens in the middle of the night when im asleep which frustrates me
because i am a light sleeper and wake up early so i dont appreciate seeing my bright tv screen light up at 2am every morning then again at 4am. My room is dead quite and have even been awake when it has gone on randomly so i know for a fact its not hearing
an Xbox On command. I know i could just unplug the power supply but i will forget to plug it back in and dont really want to do that since i use it almost every day for netflix. It has been doing this for a couple of weeks and is really beginning to get on
my nerves so can anyone help me understand why it keeps turning itself on and how i could fix it (preferably without unplugging anything or taking of tv commands).

:)

Xbox One turns itself on.

My Xbox One will not stay turned off. I do not have the Kinect plugged in so there's no issue of the Xbox 'hearing' anything. When I have my Xbox One in Energy Saving mode and I turn it off, it turns itself back on. When I have my Xbox One on Instant On
mode and I turn it off, it turns itself back on with a disc read error message:

"Sorry, we can't play this disc. Try an Xbox One game, a music CD, or a movie on Blu-Ray or DVD." Even though I have not put in any disc into the Xbox One.

Hey there,

It's possible the console is performing an update or downloading an update which is why it's turned on, is your console set to Instant On more or Energy Saving mode?

I also experienced the same thing after August updates, i realized its a glitch in updates, for now i just put in power save mode, so that it wont switch on always and dont get on with Xbox on command but works with controller on. Lets wait if they come
out with some fix..

Your Xbox could be set to automatic downloads if it's set to instant on so could be checking for them and be the reason for it turning itself on at random times.

Like Kiranjd says, change it to energy saving mode and see how you get on.

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!

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.

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.
