Great to hear that the issue has been resolved, GR8YFOX. You are amazing as you have been patient and keen in checking all details with me and possibility as what we have expected it could be a network or the software update.

To answer your question, have you asked your parents or any adult that controls the network regarding this? The broadband parental controls is there for a mission to block out some unbeneficial websites for the children. To be more specific with the file sharing this is available so any pictures and confidential files will not be send/shared to anyone over the internet to be used against you or your family. However this might be just a part of a package from broadband's parental controls. So, to make sure you get the right answer you may consult this to the adult you are with or if you are an adult already then consult it to the ISP.

Hi.

I have managed to solve the customisation issue. The cause was parental controls with my broadband provider, specifically file sharing.

That was very weird as before with that particular setting in place and active, profile customisation on the original Xbox, Xbox 360 and original Xbox One was working perfectly fine. Once I switched it off, I could see the options in each section. Very weird indeed.

When I was using mobile data on my phone on the app, I could see the options but on wifi, the options were not there so that got me thinking. What if the parental controls was the cause?! So I investigated and found what I mentioned above to be the cause. It never struck me to check that as it was working just fine on my previous consoles.

Anyway, thank you very much for your time and responses. I can now thoroughly enjoy my Series X. Are you able to shed some insight as to why file sharing was the cause?

You're welcome and thanks for the reply as well, GR8YFOX.

As I have re-checked your concern and seeing that you had created a previous thread - Xbox Series X Personalisation options with similar content. You have mentioned in there that you are also having issue changing your gamerpic on Account with Xbox | Xbox. Was this resolved by using or accessing the website on different location or network?

Would you mind confirming if these consoles (Xbox, Xbox 360 and original Xbox One) are in the same location with your Xbox Series X? We are looking at the possibility that this issue happens because of the networking or else, it is indeed the software update.

Speaking of update, may we know if you can access accessibility under settings? Kindly go to Settings > Accessibility > Color filters to check if you are having issue after the release of the November Xbox Update for Console. See reference: November Xbox Update: Color Filters, Audio Settings, Accessibility Feature Tags, and More - Xbox Wire.

You may also check if you have turn on the color filters on guide in Profile & system > Quick settings.

May we ask what is the OS version of your console now? Kindly press Xbox button > open guide and select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info > OS version and Shell version are located in the second column.

We know that you wish not to send back the console for repair. If found out that this issue happens after November update you will need to reach out to Team Xbox by installing Xbox Report a Problem app from Microsoft Store in your console. By then you can send report to them regarding this issue.

Kind regards,

Hello, ProNinjaAkuma. I’m Arturo.

I’m sorry to hear your Xbox is displaying the Error code E203 after trying to restore it via the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.

When the Xbox Startup troubleshooter doesn’t fix the problem, an alternative potential fix is performing an offline update on your console. Would I know if you tried this procedure on your Xbox?

It is important to point out that you need a USB drive and a PC to format and transfer the files to the USB.
