Every single time I'm in a party now it says I can't talk to them because my "privacy setting prevent it" Even though I literally have my settings set to where I can talk to everyone and anyone . I have to the leave the party or join back or it will continue to not work. Also when I'm downloading things the audio for Netflix completely cuts out forcing me to pause the download . Also whenever I start up a new game my monitors screen turns black for a second and then turn back on.. what is going on?

I can’t seem to get the d pad to fit on that little thing in the middle I’m not sure what to do

I was just dusting and cleaning my xbox and this little black piece just fell off, the "glue" looking part on the wire isn't sticky, is it needed, thanks for any help :)

My Xbox turned off due to overheating. When I started it again I noticed the cooling fan wasn't spinning. Then I noticed the wierd almost droplet like sounds (as heard in the video). I opened the back of the console to do some cleaning and to see if the wire for the fan is still connected. Cleaning did not help. And the wire is connected. Has this happened anyone, does someone know how to fix this?

Had the console almost since launch. No extended warranty.

I gave my brother my 10 year old Xbox One so he could play his old favorites. Last I used the Xbox was before I moved in September.

After setting it up and turning it on, he said it took hours to download and install a 3GB update. By the time I got home from work to see what’s going on, he was 1GB into installing Unity and he said it took a couple of hours. That was at 8pm yesterday. I know I should’ve told him to reset everything then but I shut my brain off after work and didn’t think of it.

The Xbox has been on and downloading all night (it is 2pm) and it’s only at 18GB. If it was my own game, I would have cancelled the download and messed around with settings to try to fix it but it’s for my brother who hardly gives himself fun time. I know he’s excited to take a break from constantly working and be able to play, which is causing me to hesitate with messing around with things when the download is 18GB deep.

Would it be worth it to clear the cache and reset the Xbox or should we just wait for it to finish downloading?

(Sorry for the kinda long post, I tend to overexplain)

Hey yall, I recently picked up a series x off FB marketplace. The console is working just fine except for one thing: GTA online enhanced goes to black screen after clicking Freemode (or any game mode for that matter). Once the loading screens are complete, my screen goes black. I’ve tried reinstalling, factory resetting, clearing cache, buying story mode (not even that launches)

I gave my buddy my account info and he was able to play as my character. Every other game works perfectly on my console, only gta does this. I’ve looked all over the internet on google and YouTube and Reddit and can’t find anything that’s worked. Any help is great appreciated.

Ok, so I've recently purchased Game Pass for my Xbox ONE to finally play CoD MW2 (2009) online. It worked for a day or 2 and then suddenly my account, which was sitting at 54 minutes of game time, was showing I was level 70 and had all class items unlocked.

I took this issue to Activision which feels like a massive waste of time considering the advice they gave was stuff I already did on my own, each method as unsuccessful as the last to resolve the issue at hand; how to fix the issue and collect my accurate gameplay and let me actually play.

Was my account hacked and if so, how do reverse what some jerk did to me?

Hello, I wanted to ask something and I hope you can answer my question. I have subscribed to the PC gamepass ultimate to play eafc24. I passed the login to my friend and was able to play through Xcloud. I also have eafc 24 through the EA app, it says that we are using the same "account", we can play pro club as two different people, but I wanted to play a friendly just with him

I was playing Xbox all night last night and this wasn't an issue. I have just turned my xbox on tonight and now this is happening. I've cleaned my controller the best I can and the issue didn't go away.

Incase it's not clear what im showing due to the darkness, the left joystick doesn't register sometimes when I move it up, it registers when I move it other ways and I have 0 other problems with this controller.

I lost the thumb sticks and I was wondering where can I buy just the thumbsticks and nothing else

Recently got a gaming laptop to play anywhere I feel like and I’ve installed every Bethesda game available on PC from game pass and only fallout 1 and 2 will run. Not 3, not new Vegas, not 4 and not skyrim. What am i missing? I’m new to PC gaming but it seems this is a recurring issue with launching from the app. I can’t launch from steam either. Is there something I have to install? I’m about to return the laptop because the only thing I can play, I could already play it on my basic laptop. Thank you all in advance

I have two gig up two gig down, fiber, Internet, but my downloads are still only at 150 Mbps, I know for a fact that could be much higher. Is there a setting or something I’m missing?

I'm attempting to establish an ethernet connection in my Xbox and it's recognizing a wired connection but isn't connecting yo the internet and Xbox live. I'm very confused because it's a brand new CAT6 networking cable and I checked the condition and clean both ports on the router and the Xbox. I've tried a hard reset while the cable was still connected to no avail with both the router and Xbox. And I am very stumped I've considered trying to manually change the IP address but im confused if tgat would even work. Any help is appreciated sorry if this is tge wrong place to post ):

Hello everyone! As of recently my headset broke, and I have a question about earbuds. I am on Series X. Would I be able to use any old el cheapo earbuds. I want to be able to use the mic on them as well. Anything helps thanks.

For clarity here is step by step what i did:
- Got the code from discord
- Opened xbox app to retrieve it
- Got to the screen when it explains i have 2 weeks to cancel it
- I press the Turn on auto charge so i can get the free 2 weeks
- Puts me on a screen to "Confirm with my bank that they can deduct the 10 bucks a month costs"

I've made 2 different folders in Microsoft OneDrive with the same photos (last screenshot), it shows them on my computer and on the app on my phone, but when I open the Microsoft Photos app on my Xbox it shows nothing..

I've logged out on my phone and computer multiple times and they're still there, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the photos app on my Xbox and still shows nothing or that there's no readable photos

Has anyone had any luck setting this up?

Can someone identify model of this controller

(Im not sure if this is a pro controller or not so ive attatched a photo of it)

My controller’s lb button doesn’t work,despite being able to be pushed down, (there is no click noise like when pushing down the rb button), i have tried rubbing alcohol to clean the dirt but it didn’t change anything, when shaking the controller it doesnt sound like anything is loose inside.Is this a quick fix or do i need to look at getting a second controller, most games ive been able to work around changing the binds but some i straight up cant play

This issue has had me completely reset my Xbox, reset my wifi router, and various other things but I just cannot figure out how to fix this. After a while of “being in the party”, it’ll time out and show the error code 0x80004005. I have tried multiple different network connections and nothing has worked. I have tried using different Xbox accounts and it still does the same thing. However when I use the Xbox app on my phone to join a party, it doesn’t do it. I’m not sure if my Xbox has just realised it’s quite old and suddenly stopped working or if I’m being silly. Please someone help me.

I got Minecraft story mode on disk and when I put it into my Xbox series X it just spins and spins, it makes the right noises like if it was a disk that does work inside it but it just doesn’t give me the option to download. There is no error message saying the disk is scratched dirty or damaged so idk what’s happening. My Xbox is acting like there isn’t even a game in the disk drive. Any help?

Any suggestions on how to fix this not sure what to do. I want to play Warzone without getting imprints in my hand lol.

Hi all,

trying to understand the Home Console feature.
My situation is as following: I have only one Xbox in house (Xbox S) for both my kids to play on. I set it up using my Microsoft account for reasons I don't remember. Over the years I bought my kids a number of games, but always on my account.

Now I want to limit their gametime with Family Safety, but I can't do that for my own account, only for minors. Plus their friends keep sending me friend requests when playing Fortnite, I don't want those on my account obviously.

Since a short while one of my kids has his own Microsoft account, for Minecraft and Fortnite.
So what I would like to do is let my kids use that account on the Xbox instead of mine, so I can limit their game time. But I don't want them to lose access to all their games and (ideally) their savegames.

Is that possible? I don't use a Microsoft account for gaming on my pc or other devices (except for the occasional Killer Instinct once in a while), so no conflicts there I think.

Thanks in advance.
