    So, my Xbox Series X is fairly new. I got it around 2022 or so, and I've always treated it carefully. But for a while now, its been bugging out. On the home screen, it freezes up and sometimes becomes a completely black screen that i have to press the Home button to exit. When i try to play certain games, the game crashes or outright doesn't start. Two games that have done this are Fortnite and COD: Black Ops 6. I have tried everything from connecting Ethernet to factory reseting my console, but it just hasn't worked. I've scoured the forums and internet for this thing to no avail... please help me out here. Thanks!

    :)

    Xbox series X is freezing in the home screen and I'm unable to play certain games. How do I fix this?

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing crashing on your Xbox device.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    First let us get the Start up troubleshooter:

    Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

    Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.

    Press and hold the Pair button and the Eject button on the console, and then press the Xbox button  on the console.

    NOTE: The Xbox Series S and the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition do not have Eject buttons. You can bring up the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter on this console by holding only the Pair button (steps 3 and 4) and then pressing the Xbox button .

    Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10-15 seconds.

    Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the Pair and Eject buttons after the second power-up tone.

    The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.

    Once you see it, please choose: "Continue"

    And it will restart your Xbox.

    When you reach the dashboard, please go to Settings> Network> Network settings> Test Network Connection.



    Launch your games afterwards.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    what happens when i want to use the home (series x) and send my kids to the xbox one?

    my daughter is trying to play on the xbox one and it says i have to sign in, but i am in the other room playing the main (home) xbox series X

    how do we work around this?

    honestly, i will probably never play the original xbox one console where everything was purchased and all games sit.

    i would be playing on the 'home' xbox series x
