    My xbox series x will not turn off unless I unplug from the mains. For some reason the power button just flashes over and over 10mins now and still flashing.

    Xbox series x takes too long to turn off

    Hi there! Sorry to hear about what happened. Let's do our best to sort this out.

    First, let's try to power cycle your console. Press and hold the Xbox power button for 10 sec until it turns off. Unplug from the power source for 30 sec. Plug it back in and turn it on again.

    If the issue remains the same, it would be best if we perform a factory reset to remove potentially corrupted data on your console. There's an option to keep your games and apps.
    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
    Select Reset console.
    On the Reset your console? Please choose “Reset and keep my games & apps”

    Xbox is taking too long to turn on

    Hi SzaboSandor,

    I would try hard power cycling the console as below:

    To perform a hard restart, hold the power button for 10 seconds while the system is on. The system will turn off. When you hit the button again, it will start and display the green start-up screen. All your data is preserved, but cache is cleared and some
    settings are reverted and log-in or game start issues are resolved.

    Alternatively, you can perform a full shutdown by going to SETTINGS > POWER & STARTUP and change POWER MODE from Instant-On to Energy-saving. After changing the setting, choose "Turn Xbox off". It can be powered back on by holding down the GUIDE button
    on the Xbox controller or the button on the front of the Xbox console. Once it's back online you can go back to SETTINGS > POWER & STARTUP and re-enable Instant-on.

    Forced Crossplay

    ok, so you think you are disadvantaged playing against pc players, what about those on xbox one playing against those on series x, you have better performance, higher frame rates, they better make it so they can also turn off crossplay with series x too and series s as even that has better performance than xbox one but not as good as series x so they should wall all three versions off.

    don't say oh it's keyboard and mouse as people use them on consoles too.
