Xbox One Turns On without Input

My xbox just sometimes randomly turns on. Sometimes im doing homework in the room and i’ll here the chime of the xbox turning on without anyone touching it. Sometimes ill be in my bed about to fall asleep when i hear the chime in my basement. Other
times, ill come home from school and see it on while the TV is off. No one in my family says they do it. Someone plz help.

Hi Raffi,

Do you have any accessories plugged into the console (hard drive or headset etc)? I have seen reports that sometimes those can cause the xbox to turn on.

I would suggest contacting Support to have them help troubleshoot with you, they can be found at

Hi TSi1616,

There is an external hard drive connected to the usb port of the xbox. However it contains a lot of my data and im scared of corrupting it if i remove it. Is it safe to disconnect?

Also, Xbox support doesn’t have an option to talk about the xbox turning on randomly. Even when i tried to get as close to the problem as possible, they wouldnt give me an option to speak to support.

Hey there, KillerBeeTX! Sorry to see you are experiencing this as well. This thread is a little old. If you need further assistance, please post up a new thread detailing what you're running into and troubleshooting you've completed. This way our community

After some quick research, I'm going ot assume you have a standard tv and not the Roku streaming player (the little box thing) so you would simply plug the Xbox One S into the HDMI input of the tv, select that input on the tv and turn the xbox one and
off you go ( depending on weather the tv will sit on an input source when there is no input you may have to switch to the HDMI input the Xbox is connected to when the Xbox turns on)

So, I have an Xbox One and the Pioneer VSX-1021 receiver. It works. It sounds great, but I think it's not going to be a good solution for really getting what I want out of the system. The problem is that with CEC turned on fully (HDMI control/synchronization
between devices) - that being tv turned on, receiver turned to on, xbox one on, the problem is that the receiver very aggressively changes the input to tv/sat. Well, there is no tv/sat input on the back of the receiver! So, you have to use another. I use DVR/BDR.
So, every time xbox one fires everything up, it switches to a useless input and there is no way to turn this off. The only workaround is to turn some CEC functions off and that becomes a pain as it just doesn't work right. The best workaround is to walk to
the receiver and MANUALLY change it back to the input you want. Doing that allows everything to work. This is therefore not a great receiver for xbox one owners. Not having the TV/SAT HDMI input was poor thinking.
