Xbox turns its self on randomly in the middle of the night

Over the past month or so my Xbox has been turning its self on every other night. I have had mine since day one so I'm beginning to wonder if my kinect is wearing out or something? I have had "Instant on" mode activated since I bought it and never had any
issues. Anyone have any ideas?

:)

 

My xbox one continues to turn on randomly in the middle of the night

Randomly throughout the day my xbox one will turn on. It mainly happens during the night though.

 

Xbox One Turns on by its self randomly.

Hey Envvy13! Is the console plugged directly in to a wall outlet? Do you have it set to Instant-On or Energy-Saver mode? Post back and let us know!

Your Xbox is haunted. Pouring a circle of salt around the console would be your first step. If the problem persists, there are several avenues you can pursue. Please see the following support articles:

Xbox > Haunted Console > Contacting your local priest/rabbi/medicine man to perform exorcism/jewish exorcism/voodoo.

Xbox > Haunted Console > Contacting those brothers from supernatural to help, almost die, but ultimately succeed due to luck and charm alone

Xbox > Haunted Console > How to sell/trade in your haunted console to make it someone else's problem.

In all seriousness, that seems to be an issue related to either a controller incorrectly receiving the input to turn your console on, or as you guessed, with your kinect. I'm not seeing a support article on this specific issue. Have you considered a hard
power down before going to bed? Holding down the power button for 10 seconds. That will take it out of instant-on mode, and might address your issue.

 

I have done that. And yes, I have done the hard power down, which keeps it off. I guess I will have to get used to not using instant on mode or replace the kinect. Bummer!

 

Hi Borden85 have you tried to gently wipe the power button on the front of the console with a soft cloth just in case it small amount of dirt/grease on it?

 

Gave it a shot. Looked pretty clean. Time will tell!

 

I've also hand this problem for the last few weeks, though I put it down to Preview updates booting up the console after updating. As the timing seemed to coincide...

 

yeah i've also been having this problem IDK Y but it does turn its self on
