    Xbox problems starting up and playing games


    So for some reason my Xbox after being off at night will stop downloads and when I turn it on later it won’t start them back and when I try to turn a game on it won’t let me start it it will make the select noise then just sit there I tried to restart it but when I do that the Xbox symbol on the console will just continue to blink I have to get up and completely shut it off to get it to fix once I start it back up it’s good all goes back to normal but this is the third day in a row it’s done it and I can’t download games when it off even tho it’s set to do it

    Problem starting up games

    Having same issue with Dead Rising 3 (disk)...game goes to load screen, then promptly returns to home page. Tried swapping out to Ryse (disk), Forza 5 (disk), and Killer Instinct (download) multiple times. All worked x3 attempts each. Tried x3 power recycles
    with no success. Ensured game was installed, it was. Uninstalled/reinstalled DR3. No help. Also, NFL app is also behaving the same manner. Launches to Blue NFL load scrren then promptly returns to home page. Also, will not allow app to be quit home-screen
    menu. Hope the info helps bring a fix.

    Problem starting up games

    Thanks goes to IndrGmr! This also worked for me. Best guess is this is just like a computer, except there are probably some memory leaks going on that is keeping apps from working after a while. These should get resolved with a patch hopefully soon. Until
    then, a soft shutdown doesn't work, and IndrGmr's hard turnoff method clears all memory and should allow everything to work normally again.

    Thanks for the advice!

    Sorry but this hasn't worked for me yet, still get to the same place right after the cutscene when it says "RYSE SOM OF ROME" and then cuts out and restarts the machine

    Problem starting up games

    I was able to get this to work by holding my finger over the power button on the console. Keep holding your finger there even after it shuts down. Wait about 30-60 seconds and power your system back on.

    After that I was able to play my games again.

    Please try to do this.
