Hello PixelGunPlayerZ,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with your Xbox Series S. One thing you can try is to perform a factory reset on your console. This will erase all data and settings on your console, so make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.



To perform a factory reset, follow these steps:



1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

2. Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

3. Select Reset console.

4. Choose Reset and remove everything.



After the reset is complete, set up your console again and see if the issue persists. If it does, please contact Xbox support for further assistance.

Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

It sounds like your Xbox Series S may be experiencing a hardware issue if it is not turning on properly and only flashing. However, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Ensure that your Xbox Series S is plugged in and turned on. Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the console and the outlet.

Try resetting the console by holding down the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it fully turns off, then turn it back on.

Check that your Xbox Series S is connected to the same network as your Windows 11 laptop. You can do this by going to the Settings app on your Xbox, then selecting Network > Network settings.

Ensure that your Xbox Series S is set up for remote play by going to the Settings app on your Xbox, then selecting Devices & connections > Remote features. Make sure that the "Enable remote features" option is turned on.

If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot any hardware or software issues with your Xbox Series S.

Hello August J, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Check the region and language settings. Make sure the region and language settings on your Xbox Series S are set correctly for your location. Sometimes apps may not be available in certain regions or may have different names in different languages. Check that your region and language settings are set correctly and then search for the app again in the store.

Also restart your Xbox Series S Sometimes restarting the console can fix temporary issues and make the app appear in the store again. Try turning off your Xbox Series S, unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes, and then turning it back on. Then, search for the app in the store again.

Best regards.
