Xbox Series S: When I'm trying to start Minecraft the light blinks twice and show dashboard...

Hi, Lester! Thank you for reaching out.
I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with Minecraft on your console.

If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

- Is this only happening with Minecraft?
- Do you get any error codes/messages when this happens?
- Do you have any external storage devices plugged into your console? (HDD, SSD, or Expansion cards).

Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your reply.
Best regards.

Thanks for your answer AJ,

- Yes, it only occurs with Minecraft, I tried with other games and they work properly.

- It doesn't show any error code, it tries to open the game and shows the splash screen with the text "Mojang studios", but right after that the xbox light blinks twice and then the game is closed.

- I do have an external storage, but I also tried moving the game to the console storage, I tried running it from the external storage, uninstalling it and installing it again, but nothing works.

Regards!

Hi, Lester! thank you for your reply.

• If you haven't yet, would you mind giving these a try?

- Press and hold your console's power button until it shuts down.
- Unplug your console's power cord for 5 minutes.
- Plug your console's power cord back in
- Turn your console on and try running the game again.

• If power-cycling doesn't work, please try this instead:

- Go to Settings > System > Storage devices > Clear local saved games.

* Important: This will delete all the saved games on your console but It won't remove saved games on the cloud. If your console has been constantly connected to the Internet and the Xbox Network, your cloud-saved data should re-sync with your console the next time you launch each game.

Please do let me know if none of these work, and we'll try something else.

I'll be looking forward to your reply.
Best regards.

UPDATE: the xbox is now blinking the light twice, related to power supply issue?

If your Xbox Series X controller blinks twice, it usually means that the batteries are low or the connection with the console has been lost. Here's what you can try:

1. Replace the batteries: If the batteries are low, the controller will blink twice repeatedly. Try replacing the batteries with fresh ones and see if it solves the problem.

2. Re-sync the controller: To re-sync the controller with the console, press and hold the pairing button on the console until the light starts flashing. Then, press and hold the pairing button on the controller until the light on the controller begins to blink rapidly. Wait a few seconds for the controller to connect.

3. Check for interference: Certain wireless devices or objects may interfere with the controller's signal. Make sure there aren't any devices or obstacles blocking the signal between the controller and the console.

If none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.
