XSX Controller Not Connecting on "Instant On" Mode

A month a go I bought a Xbox series x.

My problem has happen two times. I turn off all games. I put my xsx in instant on mode. This two times, the next morning the fan was not spinning but the Xbox was warm on sides. Every other time the fan Is working and the console Is cold or even if It Is not spinning the console Is cold again. I dont know if this May be a motive, but my controller was charging while It was in instant on mode.

I need to know if this Is normal or It needs an update or my xsx Is faulty.

Thanks in advance.!

go in too settings, then power mode and startup, then restart your Xbox from there, if that doesn’t help the fan turn on then I would recommend troubleshooting the Issue or, checking the warranty on the Xbox and returning it to the store you got it from.

XSX UK version has no 'Instant On' mode either. My 2 options for 'Sleep mode' are 'Energy saver', or 'Standby'.

I noticed my XSX was venting warm air in Standby mode 9hrs after use, so I switched to Energy saver mode. But then game downloads whilst off didn't continue to download.

Apparently, an update changed things to allow 'game updates' in Energy saver mode when off, but 'game updates' are just patches?

I have tried ES mode to DL Game Pass games, but they pause when the XSX is off. Remote DLs via the app won't work either in ES mode.

So, I've had to turn it back to standard power-greedy 'Standby' mode to DL games whilst off - although it seems very slow compared to when the XSX is fully on.

I think games only DL in ES mode for the first 1m45s, at which point you hear the XSX rev up and go silent again - and in that time my console has only DL-ed about 0.02GB, and at that rate it'd take about 1 day to DL a big game! My 'fibre broadband' is pretty poor though: The XSX in-built speed test says the DL speed is 15Mbps, at best.

I think all the suggested methods have been discussed earlier in the thread and at least for me those did not work.

Here's my feedback on the issue

Does the issue occur with a different controller?

Yes

Which power mode is your console set to? Instant on mode or energy-saving mode?

Instant mode

Does the issue occur when your controller is connected with a USB cable?

No. Xbox starts just fine when USB is attached

How often does the issue occur?

When I change setting from power saving to instant mode the first boot on instant mode works OK. After that I need to manually start from the console and controller start up will not work at all. "Xbox on" voice command worked with kinect but this is not
an option for me because finnish is not supported.

I just noticed that restart using controller worked when I shutdown the console while battlefield 4 was running. After I stopped the game before shutdown, xbox cannot be started using controller in instant mode.

Looks like something's wrong with the firmware as the issue cannot be reproduced while game is on and it works just fine on first boot after power mode change

If you have the console set for instant on mode, turning the console off will put it into standby mode. You would have to turn it completely off by holding the power button down on the console.

If it's not on instant on mode, then turning it off via the controller or settings would turn it completely off.

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Yes. Controller starts up perfectly in Instant-On power mode.
