Xbox Series S randomly stops my recordings

Hello SandraLazdina, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

It seems as though you've already done more than what we could have suggested off the top. When you did your reset did you use the app and bring over previous settings? If you did then go ahead and try again but this time don't use the app or bring over previous settings when prompted to do so.

Another thing you can try here would be to make sure that your current videos and screenshots are all uploaded to OneDrive then delete them all from the console. It is possible that you have no space and need to clear it.

Beyond that your console may need a repair if it's not functioning properly.

I have a problem with my Xbox elite series 2 controller. It works fine while playing any other game but when I play fortnite it randomly stops working while playing, none of the buttons work even when I plug it in it doesn’t work but out of nowhere it starts working again and it happens over and over again. I’m also playing on the Xbox series S

Samething happens to me, I always use an external hdd formatted for media with plenty of space to record my 4k videos but now it just stops randomly, it records 1080p without problems.

Hi Jeff, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you.

Is an external hard drive plugged into your console? If yes, please unplug it and perform a power cycle on your console.

Please follow the steps to Power Cycle your Console:

​​​

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

If there is no external hard drive plugged into your console, I highly recommend trying to connect your console via wired or LAN cable. If it worked, kindly check if there's a pending system update on your console.

If you've managed to connect a LAN cable to your console but there is still no connection, there's a possibility that your console has a hardware or software issue and it would be best to have it checked or repaired.

When on xbox one dashboard go to settings then preferences. Under System & App you'll see something saying "Record gameplay with Game DVR". Untick the box and this will stop the console from randomly recording clips all the time.
