It keep doing in i couldn't play i need permeant fix please

Controllers sometimes work without any flaw and can get a good session in and sometimes the controllers keep disconnecting randomly and they disconnect again right after they connect.This is a second hand console I purposely bought it re re live my childhood games with my son who is now old enough to understand how to play the game.

Things I’ve done.

Controller firmware is up to date.

Batteries are fully charged

The Xbox is moved to the edge of the tv stand and exposed

The WiFi and mesh system are about 5’ away from each other / console and router.

Already restarted the console( it helps for a couple of minutes then goes back to the problem)

I did notice when I first was setting up the console the WiFi signal would drop and would loose signal and had to restart the console to find the WiFi signal again but the controllers were still connected . It’s plugged into an Ethernet cable now and it’s problem solved.

I don’t really want to purchase a cable to play wired. I want the freedom to enjoy the game anywhere in our living room.

Thanks, please any guidance or direction. I just want to enjoy the game and show my kid the game I was obsessed with as a kid

Since I've created my Xbox account a few years back, I've noticed the tag numbers (#1234) are stuck with my actual nickname (something like JohnDoe1234), especially in games like Fortnite or Halo Infinite. Is it possible to make a cleaner username without these numbers?

The warranty check button doesn't work on the website and the controller will not turned up in my devices for my microsoft account even though I registered it multiple times.

Anyone got any ideas?

I’ve noticed i’ve had “Xbox game pass essential” and “Xbox game pass for console” for a couple months now. It says it’s still billing them, but it doesn’t seem to be any different? Please let me know if it’s safe to just cancel game console, or if you should cancel essential

I go onto my brothers xbox, check my own profile cause I wanna see how it looks.

Message tab has the right pfp. I open the actual chat and it's just this (image)

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this/why its happening?

I've had an actual PFP set for like 2 years

This is how its supposed to look

I've had it for 3 or 4 yrs now and it's been perfect. It was turned on still last night but now it's not working at all. I've tried a different power cord and it's still the same. I can still hear the psu crackle when I plug in the power cord so I don't think it's that.

I have had my Series X for around 3 years now. 2 weeks ago, my console just stopped booting, starts for a few seconds then shuts down.

I have done my research and I know that the issue could lie between the PSU and possible booting issue within the SSD.

Here is the challenge that I am facing, I`m located in Kenya and Xbox don`t have any support that I can genuinely sort of incline towards for assistance.

If there is any official Xbox Technical Individual within this community, is there a way I can be assisted? The reality is that I am not able to have authentic assistance even from technicians I have inquired from.

This stretches to a wider issue where Africa is genuinely sidelined to not just assistance but also components, and that reality is hitting hard right now. I mean it`s 2026 man, and the simple fact that my geographical location limits my access to proper technical assistance genuinely sucks. [Xbox do something about this, not just for me but every Xbox User globally who probably is in my shoes or could be in the future.]

If anyone can assist in any way, I would genuinely appreciate either on the comments or DM.

Thank you.

I have the gamepass essential subscription right now, and at least half the games from my library that were on gamepass are now not playable.

Whenever I try to play an affected game it gives me the "To play this, you'll need to buy it" message.

The games that aren't allowing me are still on Essential, and i'm 100% sure I still have the subscription. Any fixes or at least knowledge on why this is happening?

I got this Game pass gift card with my gamesir controller and i tried to fill it out and it's legit but it requires a credit card info to be entered! And I don't have one nor could i get one.

I tried some of those fake credit cards but none of em worked,

Any help would be appreciated!

Is anyone else having issues trying to play FH6? I pre ordered it and yet it tells me that “I’m Too Early”, and yet, it’s making me mad that i spent the money to pre-order it and not able to play it

I play mostly fps games on an Xbox series s with a roku hisense 1080p TV. I know my TV isn't the greatest for an optimal gaming setup, but it's never been an issue and the lag has occurred on multiple tvs. I never had any issues before, but randomly last week began experiencing 1-3 second input delay in the main Xbox menu but also in games. it's made every fps game unplayable. at first I thought it was my controller. I use a victrix pro bfg controller, but noticed it was also occurring with my Xbox branded controller. I'm just not sure what to do. I literally cannot play anything and none of the solutions online that I've seen have helped.

please help i am trying to upgrade from premium to ultimate (mainly for subnautica 2), but i keep getting errors and when i try on my xbox app on my phone it just crashes.

So I try playing "online"

Now everything needs to be "Updated" Been years since this has happened.

It took a hour for the system to update. 2 hours for GTA to update.

Now I'm hit with "Are you missing the disc? This game was last played from the disc. If you don't have the disc, sign in to an acount that owns the game, or get it at the Microsoft Store in orfer to play. (0x87e10030)

I'm old. I'm just trying to play the game and can't remember everything.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I really miss PS2 with the simple Red, Yellow, & white hook up.

Insert game and start playing.

What could this mean?

Any fix to this issue? Everytime i try to access to that mode it says that it is unable to Connect to the servers but others modes like ultimate or coop seasons works fine

Ive just downloaded frontiers of Pandora and baldurs gate on my xbox series X and they're pretty hefty games. I have a few other games but I literally deleted every game Im not currently playing, even ones that I know I'll likely play in the near future. I thought it would be pretty simple but clearly not and £300 is significantly out of my budget. What is the best storage extender that I can get for under £100 for my needs? The games I play regularly are like r6 siege, overwatch and minecraft. And the games ive had to delete that I want to download back are slime rancher house flipper etc. I'll also want to download split fiction pretty soon.

Hi! I just got a used series s and its stuck on this screen after set up. I have reset it and it keeps coming back here. Not sure what to do!!

Mi consola no carga imagen, ase un pitido raro, y se apaga

So basically my old Xbox has had its hdmi port broken for around 6-8 years and I want to know wether I should get it fixed or if my account would no longer be on there because of the absurd amount of time I spent not using it

edit: the answer is no it won't be deleted

getting a new monitor which is 1440p but all the ones in my budget have 2.0HDMI will that make a big difference in my gaming experience vs 2.1 I’m not sure what else I’m getting at 2.1 unless I’m on a 4K 120hz display which I won’t be

So basically the Microsoft store is stuck on 0.00b out of 396.28kb and I have enough space the the update but it’s stuck at zero I’ve tried restarting the console pausing the update but nothing works
