3) Power Cycle The Xbox
Switching off and then turning the device on is the most common technique to solve a technical issue. When you turn off the Xbox, all the Xbox settings that you have manually altered, or any settings that may have been modified, are reverted to the default. Follow these instructions to power cycle your Xbox.
– Hold the Xbox button on the front of the console for 10 seconds and turn your console off.
– Unplug the power cables and wait for a minute before plugging them back in.
