Xbox Series S having issues with starting games and restarting from menu

Hello TiValiant, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support!

I highly recommend following the troubleshooting steps here:

After each step try to see if the issue is fixed!

First, hold down the power button for about 10 seconds, until the console shuts off, then unplug the power cord and wait for 2-3 minutes before plugging it back in and turn on the Xbox.

If the issue persists, please select System > Settings > devices and streaming > blue ray > persistent storage > clear three times > restart console.

If you are still encountering the same issue, please select System > Settings > System > Console info > Select Reset console > Choose Reset and keep my games and apps

If you are still having the same issue, it’s possible that the local save for the game has become corrupted. If so, deleting the local save and re-syncing with the cloud might correct the problem.
First, delete the local save:
1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide and then select My games & apps > See all > Games.
2. Highlight the game title, and then press the Menu button on your controller.
3. Select Manage game and add-ons > Saved data.
4. Select Delete all to remove the local save of this game, then follow the prompts.
After you delete the local save, restart your Xbox:
1. Press and hold the Xbox button in the center of your controller.
2. Select Restart console, then follow the prompts.
After you restart your Xbox, re-sync your saved games to the cloud. Your saved games are automatically stored in the cloud while you’re connected to Xbox Live.
Try playing the game again to see if re-syncing with the cloud corrected the game problem.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

Hi Sam! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

If you’re experiencing these career issues with FIFA 22 on Xbox One and Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, chances are you will be able to fix the issue simply by resetting the game’s cache:

Start by pressing the Xbox button on your controller.

From the context menu that just appeared, access the My games & apps menu.

From the next context menu, choose Select All.

Next, select the Games tab, then move over to the right-hand section and select FIFA 22 from the list of games.

Next, press the Options menu, then access the Manage game and add-ons menu.

From the dedicated menu of FIFA 22, navigate downloads and highlight Saved Data, then press X on your controller.

From the FIFA 22 Saved data menu, hit Delete all, then confirm the operation and wait until the operation is complete.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

I have experienced this issue with the last 6-8 Alpha Skip Ahead OS previews.

I've reported this issue using Report a Problem several times on my new Xbox Series X.

It always occurs after restarting console from Instant on.

A simple restart of the console from the Power menu or a Full shutdown resolves this issue for me.

Yes, you can play Rainbow Six Siege with a keyboard and mouse on Xbox Series X/S.

Connect your keyboard and mouse to your Xbox Series X/S console. You can connect them directly to the console's USB ports or use a USB hub if you need more ports.

Once your keyboard and mouse are connected, start up Rainbow Six Siege on your Xbox Series X/S.

In the game's main menu, navigate to the Options menu.

From the Options menu, select the Controls tab.

From the Controls tab, select the Controller Type option.

Change the Controller Type to Mouse and Keyboard.

Customize your keyboard and mouse settings to your liking.

There are a few possible reasons why you may be experiencing difficulty downloading games or apps on your Xbox Series S. Some possible causes include:

Network connectivity issues: Make sure your Xbox Series S is connected to a stable internet connection. Try restarting your router or modem and then reconnecting your Xbox Series S to the internet.

Insufficient storage space: Make sure you have enough storage space available on your Xbox Series S to download the game or app in question. You can check the available storage space by going to the System -> Storage menu on your Xbox Series S.

Account issues: Make sure you are signed in to the correct Xbox Live account, and that your subscription is up to date.

Xbox Live service issue: Xbox Live services may be down temporarily. You can check the status of Xbox Live services by visiting the Xbox Live Service Status page.
