    Xbox won't turn off and is frozen.


    Yesterday Read Dead Redemption 2 froze, glitched, and crashed and I can no longer open it.

    Today my Xbox one (white edition) worked as normal, we were watching videos on the YouTube app. We exited to the home screen to go to prime video and it started lagging really bad. We tried to reset it from the menu but it wouldn't actually shut down. I held the power button for 10 seconds, let it sit for awhile and turned it back on. Black screen. I put a disc in it and ejected it and it worked fine. I tried manually turning it off by pressing the Xbox button on the console and it made the noise like it was shutting off but just stays on.

    I tried manual reset again and it did nothing. I think there may have been a power surge while we were gone but it's on a surge protector..I'm frustrated and confused. We use the Xbox for everything and it's our only way to watch movies and shows. Please help.

    :)

    Hello,

    What OS version are you currently on? You can find this info in Settings > System > Console info.

    You’ve described various performance issues in your post here, and most of these have been officially acknowledged and are being looked into. I’ve reported the other ones.

    Refer to:

    Xbox Insider Release Notes – Alpha Skip-Ahead (2308.230607-1102)

    System

    • We are aware some users have reported experiencing a longer than expected boot-up animation, an unexpected black screen, or errors navigating Home and guide.
      • Workaround: Restart the console from the Power Center (holding down the Xbox button > Restart console > Restart) or by holding the Xbox power button on the front of the console. If the issue persists, reset your console with the ‘keep my games & apps’ option. You can learn more about resetting your Xbox console here.

    As for games crashing and failing to launch, this is also a known issue as confirmed in this thread:

    Game Release Known Issues for June 2023 - Microsoft Community

    Players experiencing unexpected console behaviour while playing or launching a game

    • If you experience unexpected console behaviour such as a freeze, a crash to the Xbox home screen, or your console powering off when trying to play or launch a game, or any other issue - please report the issue when your console resumes again through the Report a Problem app.

    Please include all the relevant diagnostic data when you create a bug report so that the issues can be properly addressed. You can add [Xbox Forums] to the title of the report, then share this here once complete.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes we have tried manual power reset as described in the link. We've only had this console for 4 years and we take good care of it, I even go as far to regularly blow out the vents with a can of air.

    We are finally getting it to shut down on its own but it takes at minimum 5 minutes to do so and when it turns on it still doesn't show anything on the screen but black. We also bought a new HDMI incase and it didn't change anything. I also tried a different outlet.

    Hello KittyMichaelis8, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this inconvenience with your Xbox One console. Let's try to sort this out.

    Based on your post description, it's likely to be a hardware issue, unfortunately.
    However, I want to ask, may I know if you tried connecting the console directly to the wall, or in a different room?

    Meanwhile, may I know if you tried all the possible solutions provided in this related article?

    Hello there, it's hard to diagnose what's going on with your console if it's a hardware issue.

    But it seems that you already tried all the possible solutions from your side, at the moment, I can recommend you getting the console inspected in the closest repair shop.

    Oh BTW, that screen with the "Connection Lost" bit is frozen. I've turned off the XBox and the second I turn it on and try to open up Madden, there it is.
