Xbox One Console Off Still Download Game

Microsoft has been consistently releasing new updates to Xbox One consoles in recent weeks, for those enrolled in Alpha Preview ring of the Xbox Insider Program. Alongside a range of tweaks and improvements upon last year's 'Xbox fall update,' builds have debuted several new pre-release features, ahead of their assumed public rollout in the months to come.

A new update is on its way to Alpha ring users once again, delivering new power options to the console. In previous builds, users could enable an option to automatically shut down their console after one or six hours of inactivity. This latest build expands the flexibility of the feature, allowing for two, three, four and five hour periods before a shutdown occurs. This can be tweaked within the 'Settings' app on your console.

The build delivers stability improvements to the Home and Guide, fixing an issue that left both menus crashing on occasion. Issues with installation and achievement progress bars have also been fixed, where incorrect progress percentages would sometimes be displayed.

Today's update will begin rolling out a little earlier than usual, from 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET on January 19. For those who use the Xbox One's 'Instant On' mode, the update will begin automatically downloading to your console. If you choose to manually install the build, navigate to 'All Settings > System > Console Info & Updates' and check for an update. Read on for the complete list of changes, fixes, and currently known issues, via Microsoft's changelog.

There are a few reasons that you might want to reset an Xbox One to factory settings. If the system is acting up, wiping the slate may return it to good working order. This is a last-resort type of fix; a full factory reset will cause you to lose all of your data, and you'll have to download games and apps that you have purchased all over again, although this is a fairly easy process.

The Difference Between Resetting, Hard Resetting, and Factory Resetting

Before you factory-reset your Xbox One, make sure you know about the different types of resets that your console can undergo:

Xbox
  • When you turn your Xbox One off normally, it goes into a low-power mode, so when you turn it back on, that's just a regular reset or soft reset. The console never actually turns all the way off.
  • When your Xbox One powers down all the way and turns back on, that's called a hard reset. It's similar to what happens when you shut down a computer, and no data is lost.
  • When changes that have been made to an Xbox One after it left the factory are reversed, and the console is returned to a state similar to that when it was first shipped, this is called a factory reset. This process restores the factory settings and permanently deletes all of your games, saved data, and other settings.

Do You Need to Perform a Factory Reset?

Before you totally reset an Xbox One, try less severe fixes first. For instance, if the system isn't responding, press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds. This will perform a hard reset, which fixes a lot of problems without actually obliterating all of the data on your system.

If your Xbox One is malfunctioning so severely that you can't access the settings menu, or it isn't outputting video to your TV, scroll all the way to the bottom of this article for instructions on how to perform a factory reset using a USB flash drive.

The other reason to factory-reset an Xbox One is to remove all of your personal information, your Gamertag, and downloaded apps and games before trading in or selling an old console. This prevents anyone else from gaining access to your stuff.

You cannot wipe Xbox One remotely in the event that you've sold it or it has been stolen; however, you can prevent anyone from accessing your stuff by changing the password of the Microsoft account that is tied to your Gamertag.

Restore Xbox One to Factory Settings

The first step in resetting an Xbox One is to open the main menu. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

Xbox
  • Press the home button on your Xbox One controller. This is the illuminated button with a stylized X that is centrally located on the front of the controller near the top.
  • Alternately, you can press the left bumper until you reach the home tab, and then press left on the d-pad.

Open the Xbox One Settings Menu

The next step is to open the settings menu.

  1. Press down on the d-pad until you reach the gear icon.
  2. Press the A button to select the gear icon.
  3. With all settings highlighted, press the A button again to open the settings menu.

Access the Console Info Screen

  2. If you want to leave game and app data in place, then highlight Reset and keep my games & apps. Then press the A button.

  9. Wait for the console to restart. Remove the USB drive.
