    Xbox turns off when I multitask


    So it appears that my Xbox one shuts down and forces me to remove the brick from the power outlet and reconnect it again, It only happens when I open a game and run an app at the same time(example: Simple Background Music Player and Star Wars Battlefront)
    Please help me out Microsoft!!

    :)

    Xbox doesn't turn off when I turn it off?

    Will your xbox eventually shut down complete after a short period of time or haven't you tested this yet out of fear it would go corrupt?
    If it eventually shut downs after you waited for like half a minute it's probably nothing you have to worry about, as users like mareebaybay having the same issue.

    Xbox doesn't turn off when I turn it off?

    Hey guys,

    So I have had my Xbox 360 for about five years now and it's been pretty darn reliable for me. Lately I have run into an issue where, when I turn off the XBOX, the lit ring will go out but the xbox will continue to hum. So I press the power button on and off quickly and then it turns off all of the way. Is this a real issue? It just started doing this the last six months or so and I'm afraid it means that my XBOX is dying. Suggestions or advice welcome!!

    Thanks,

    jason

    Hey there LurkingShadows2.

    Odd that you're having trouble running multiple apps. Are you plugging your console into a power strip or plugging directly into a wall outlet? If you're using a power strip, be sure to plug directly into the wall instead, as power strips aren't supported.

    Yes, I am lazy because I want a new console that can multitask efficiently? If it can't multitask, isn't it just an Xbox 360 with some better hardware?

    How to select "Settings" in Pandora w/wireless controller?

    Snap is when the app is "snapped" to the right side of the screen, while the home dashboard or other game/app is in the main part of the screen.

    support.xbox.com/.../multitask-with-snap

    I'm not sure why it's giving you a different menu, as I'm on a free Pandora account, as well. I would recommend reinstalling the app, but power off & then unplug the power supply (leave unplugged from wall & console for 2 minutes or until the light on the
    power supply goes out) before reinstalling the app.
