    Xbox Series X - Dim Screen setting causes Xbox to Shut Off/Crash


    I got my Xbox Series X yesterday and started downloading games. I noticed it kept shutting down unexpectedly while downloading the games and I'd have to press the power button on the console to turn it back on. After I was able to download Borderlands
    3 by repeatedly restarting the Xbox, I played it for several hours with no issues and games continued to download in the background while I played (at a slower speed).

    I narrowed down the problem to the "Dim Screen after" under Settings > Preferences > Idle Options. Whatever time this is set to, after this time has passed my Xbox will turn off/crash instead of dimming the screen. I changed it to 60 minutes (the maximum)
    which is allowing me to download my games by doing something every so often to prevent the idle time. It doesn't matter if my TV is on or off, the Xbox will still shut down after being idle for the set amount of time for the dim screen setting. I have my
    power mode set to "Instant On" and Storage set to not turn off.

    Is this a known problem or has anyone else had this issue?

    :)

    Hdr calibration tool doesn't work correctly when using hgig

    Yes it's the original hdmi cable for the xbox series x. I have tried hard resetting my tv and restoring my xbox to original settings without losing my games But still the same issue. I'm not sure but can shutting off the xbox completely while on the HDR calibration app cause this issue?

    Dimming while watching Netflix. Just started yesterday. Any fix for it?

    good evening

    It is possible that your device's power settings may be causing the screen to dim. To check this, go to your device's settings and look for the power or display settings. Try adjusting the settings to see if it helps.

    Sometimes, outdated software can cause issues with your device's performance, including dimming the screen. Check for any available updates for your device's operating system and install them if available.

    Some devices have power-saving features that automatically dim the screen or turn off the display after a certain period of inactivity. Check your device's settings and disable any such features that might be causing the issue.

    Warzone and Halo crashing/shutting off series x

    Halo infinite was hard crashing a lot for me at launch but then seemed to work perfectly through December and now after the most recent update I’m back to crashing almost every game. The game even crashes in the main menu sometimes. Half the time it crashes to Xbox dashboard half the time it shuts the whole Xbox off. I’m on a series x. I’ve done all the troubleshooting tips. This game is broken.

    Xbox Series X crashing and shutting off

    Really then, I advise you to activate the warranty. If it actually ended already, you will be charged a fixed amount for this repair.

    Enter the link, register the console.

    After, click on it, go to 'online service'. In the category put hardware and drivers and fill in the form with your data.
