The Official Xbox Thread

That’s really weird. I take it it’s the XBox you bought from me? It never did that here so that really is a weird one.

There’s settings on the XBox to start up when the tv starts up and such that you may want to have a look at.

This is what is so strange and frustrating, absolutely nothing has changed.

This was my instinct reaction too, checked and nothing to update. Yes, it is set to keep my games up to date but this has always been enabled and has kept things updated despite being in “rest” state.

Edzachary!

Nope, this is my OG Xbox. Sorry, I tried to imply that with my cunning use of using the phrase “Xbone” over Xbox (which could lead to confusion as to which platform I would be referring to, Xbox One or Xbox One X). Sorry about that.

Thanks for the research and links @Solitude.

Very possible. I’ve left the console off all day, in an unplugged state.

I am still battling to find a place where I can view all my Xbox screenshots, apart from viewing them on the Xbox mobile app.

Edit: nevermind, seems this policy changed a little while ago.

Play XBOX Bingo at the press conference :wink:

Only thing I really want to hear is “Surprise! The new Forza Motorsport releases right now!” but I’ll settle for a good few “Coming to Game Pass on launch!” mentions.
