Xbox one X has become in operable

CryptkeeperXIII · Dec 19, 2021

So Yesterday I played Madden 21 and Call Of Duty War zone, all working as they should just fine. At around 5 pm or so pacific time I stopped and left warzone on its start menu and went to make dinner came back and nothing would start up so restarted several times to finally be allowed into a match of rebirth island in war zone. Then that crashed and now nothing starts says the game is taking too long to start try again later. And what have you. In the past 18 hours since this occured, I have cleared my caches, restarted several times, deleted games, cleared space, unplugged the console reset, updated games that have been in waiting, deleted war zone, changed my mac address and finally factory reset the console itself. And for nothing, it will not start any games or apps says this is taking too long to start and Vanguard let me start it up on top sputter and cut out music on the multiplayer menu. To which I gave up. Is this the end of days for this xbox one? Should I stop fighting the urge to throw it against the wall and return to my ps4? Help me understand why this machine has jumped on the short bus because I am out of options.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

- Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

- Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.

- Press and hold the Pair button (located on the left side of the console) and the Eject button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox button on the console.

- Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10-15 seconds.

- Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the Pair and Eject buttons after the second power-up tone.

- The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.

If your console doesn't have an Eject button, you can bring up the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter on this console by holding only the Pair button (steps 3 & 4) and then pressing the Xbox button. Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10-15 seconds.

- Once you see the Startup Troubleshooter, select Factory Reset and then choose "Keep Games and Apps"

- Once the Reset is complete, you'll be prompted to sign into your console using your Microsoft account credentials, after which you'll choose your preferred settings and your console should display normally again.

NB: A factory reset keeping games and apps will not delete your game saves as they are backed up in the cloud and will resync once you've signed in.

The last thing I will recommend is to perform an offline update on the device. See how to fo that here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

I have done a factory reset, resigned into my account and still sputters or says game is taking too long to start.

It will probably become backward compatible with series x. In this moment the backward compatibility project for xbox one has been stopped, waiting for series x

I love my Xbox One X. Purchased it with the Assassin's Creed: Origins bundle and it has easily become my favorite game system.
