Glad others are having this issue, not just me. Well not glad, but you get the idea. Very annoying to have to do this frequently

Over the past few days I've had to do this every time I turn it on. After I perform the hard reset, it works no problem.

I've already tried everything suggested, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Actually it is acknowledged by Microsoft. There is a message somewhere that confirms that. I saw it in the Xbox preview app in the announcements. They are working on a fix at this time.

After powering the console off, try unplugging it for 5 minutes. Also, when you are done with an app or game close it by highlighting it on your Home screen, pressing the menu button, and choosing Exit. As a temporary fix, that has helped me avoid having
to do hard resets.
