XBox Series X can not turned on with the Controller when in „Fast Start“ Mode in the settings

Try turnign off fast start up mode and see if that gets rid of the clicking. I have mine set up to fast start and also have 2 external hdd plugged in. I can here a faint buzzing from the hdd as they arent actually powered down due to fast start
being on, thus checking for downloads when im not on.

How do you turn off fast start up mode

Hi,

I have an xbox series x. When turning the xbox on with a controller the system will turn on then immediately turn off and start again.

Does this happen if you use the console on/off button?

Is the console OS and the controller firmware up to date?

figured it out. Xbox series X wont turn off your controller or respond to the controller once its on a off state if your console is in ENERGY SAVER mode. In order to be able to turn your xbox on with the controller you must be in STANDBY mode. Thats a stupid move by Microsoft to force you to keep wasting power in order to turn on you console with the controller.

Can you try performing a power cycle on your Xbox?

To do this:

For Series X|S

- Open Settings on Xbox.

- Select the General tab.

- Click on Power Options.

- Under the “Options” section, click the “Shutdown now” option.

- Click the “Shut down” button.

For Xbox One

Go to the Home screen.

Press the Menu button on the controller.

Select Settings.

Go to Sleep Mode & Start-Up

Select Turn Off/ Full Shut Down.

Once done, power up the console and see if the issue continues.

Hello Hyer, my name is Khaji I am the independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Xbox X Series. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the controller sync issue.

- Try a wired connection: use a USB cable to connect your controller to the Xbox Series X and see if it connects. If it does, you can try syncing wirelessly.

- Press and hold the sync button on the back of the controller for 15 seconds until the Xbox button starts to flash, then release the button. Turn off and unplug the Xbox X Series for a few minutes, then turn it back on and try to sync the controller again.

Update your controller firmware: If your controller firmware is not up to date, you may not be able to connect to the Xbox X Series. To check for updates, navigate to Settings > Devices and Accessories > Xbox Wireless Controller > Device Information and see if a firmware update is available.

- Try a different HDMI cable or port: A faulty HDMI cable or port could be the cause of the Xbox home screen not displaying on the TV.

- Check your TV settings: make sure the HDMI port to which the Xbox X Series is connected is set to the correct input on your TV.

Best regards, Khaji
