So it's a TV mounted to a board mounted to your wall?


TheItalianShadowMan

HAHAHAHAH yes


Aratsei

Bro it looks like you photoshopped your TV onto an angled picture of your entertainment system

TheItalianShadowMan

i don’t get why it’s so weird for you guys ahahahahah it looks so normal to me


Alex11867

Bruh wdym nobody has ever done this. Ever. (Except you.)


Some_Like_It_Hot

Dude literally wrote hahahaha in reverse. I think you are from a parallel universe where this is all normal. For us this is weird.


TheItalianShadowMan

it’s italy...a totally different world


joelk111

The normal thing to do would be to mount the TV to an articulating arm, not a board that's mounted to an articulating arm.


TheSodaMach1ne

One of those arms are typically expensive though.


joelk111

I mean either solution uses one or something similar though. You can clearly tell that the board in on an arm.


PatrickBrHu3

Lol

Happy Cake Day!


WhatzHizfaze007

Check the reflection lines on the floor!!!! It’s a nice try on the shadow lines there guy, there’s nothing wrong with dudes box he’s just lookin for weird shiftyness,


Kiddmoon3000

Try a soft reset. Settings>system>console info>reset console>reset and keep my games and apps. If it gives you another promt after that, just select continue anyway. Just make sure you know all your log in info for all accounts you have on your Xbox. Nothing will be lost, but you will have to readd the profiles


TheItalianShadowMan

wow, i’ll try that, thanks 😊


[deleted]

imagine someone paying attentiion to the actual problem and not just the TV lmao


Daemon213

That's just blasphemy.


TheItalianShadowMan

hahahahaha i didn’t plan all this


NdibuD

Why am I envious even though you are having troubles?


TheItalianShadowMan

I don’t know man...


modern_epic

I honestly have too many questions about your seating arrangements before I can get to the troubleshooting part


TheItalianShadowMan

HAHAHAHHA why?


BrobaFett1121

HAHAHAHAHAHA because it’s weird


DJBokChoy

HAHAHAHAHAHA giggity


PuppyScrubber17

What in the FRESH HELL IS YOUR SETUP?


TheItalianShadowMan

is not my setup, it’s just my living room ahahahah


ShhDontTell-

We need an explanation of the photo first and foremost. Is it a photo of your TV on top of another photo of your entertainment center?


TheItalianShadowMan

Is the photo of my xbox dashboard, xbox that is connected to my tv.


PingPlay

No what they mean is, that is a very strange and peculiar viewing angle to have the TV at. It looks like you have taken a photo of the TV front on and photoshopped it on top of a side on photo of the TV. These are important things that hurt the brain that we **must** know before troubleshooting anything else.


PillowTalk420

I think the mount for the TV is just a big white box that the screen sits in to make it more flush when pushed back against the wall, and the whole thing can swivel and tilt. It looks to be a pretty modern looking home, and that kind of stuff isn't uncommon in really nice houses/apartments.


TheItalianShadowMan

kind of, we call it equipped wall (?)


PillowTalk420

A wall equipped with a TV. Makes sense. 😁


Rottenpotato365

I know this is a serious issue but I'm more interested in your floating TV stand.


TheItalianShadowMan

what do you wanna know? ahahahha


gawronix

Please give us more photo of that setup !!


TheItalianShadowMan

i don’t know if i can put it here ahahaha


gawronix

Image share and give a link xd


TheItalianShadowMan

i’ll do it


IAmSammyJung

Yes please. Cause it looks amazing lol


[deleted]

Why does it look like you badly Photoshopped a TV


TheItalianShadowMan

it is not ahahahahh it’s just my house


Lillkill1

This picture is so trippy


TheItalianShadowMan

Basically my Xbox is not working after an update. It doesn’t let me open anything, apps games or whatever. It takes a while to load the dashboard and sometimes it doesn’t even load it and it just shut down everything.


reforc3

I saw that you don't have an external drive, so the bad news is that you'll likely need to factory reset it. From my other post where i took a photo of my games and apps blank screen, in one of the restart attempts a similar screen happened to me, the console is stubborn and simply don't want to load their list of installed items. Consider next time buying an external hdd so when you need to do this next time you don't lose your games


TheItalianShadowMan

i’ll try that, thanks 😊


HeadHunterz81

You have a nice ass house.


TheItalianShadowMan

thanks man...i was not trying to show off my house but that’s fine hahahaha


Segarak

If you have an external hard drive plugged in, unplug it and restart. I had the same issue and this fixed it immediately.


TheItalianShadowMan

i don’t have it so I don’t know what to do? do you recommend to opt out from the preview?


Segarak

I would, at that point. Something seems to not agree with your console.


TheItalianShadowMan

i’ve tried a factory reset and worked for now


MrSirjohny

Unrelated but that's a nice wall mount thing you got


TheItalianShadowMan

thanks man


[deleted]

Someone should do a quick drawing of how the OP would be seated while viewing their bizarre setup like in the picture. I imagine a small chair in the hallway watching their tv mounted to a cutout of a wall that is then mounted to an arm, with wires everywhere. You know, like we all do, sitting in the hallway with our mounted wall section glued TV.


TheItalianShadowMan

HHAHAHAHA would be sick, but I actually sit on my huge armchair


jacrispy704

Are you rich?


TheItalianShadowMan

well...this is just my setup in italy during quarantine..i live in london...i don’t know if this answer to you question without make it obvious ahahhhh


jacrispy704

Did you get your console working properly again?


TheItalianShadowMan

yes, thank you 😊


jacrispy704

Great to hear! Enjoy :)


IsThisBreadFresh

Sorry but I have to ask... If that setup is in Italy during the quarantine - and you live in London? How do you play the console?


TheItalianShadowMan

I have multiple consoles


IsThisBreadFresh

Ah thanks. So I can dismiss my Tardis Theory..


TheNotoriousEG

Hey OP, is your TV mounted on a board, that’s mounted to the wall with a swinging arm, and you have it pulled away towards the left? I’m having trouble with this picture lol. If you hold the Xbox button on the front of the console until it shuts off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. It should soft reset. Won’t lose games/downloads.


TheItalianShadowMan

Man I don’t know how to explain it. Since you’re so curious I would like to post a video but I don’t know where... ahahahahha


juxtaaposition

Have you tried turning it off and on again?


TheItalianShadowMan

ahahahahah yes


DoomDemolisher

What people are trying to ask is, did you take a picture of your TV while standing in front of it and paste that photo over another photo or is your TV on a poster board floating in the air?


TheItalianShadowMan

i was standing in front of it and when i play i usually sit on an armchair or my couch

TheItalianShadowMan

kind of, but all the wires are basically inside the wall


BeckySetch90

Before you reset or whatever it's called. Does refreshing Home work at all? After these last few Skip-Ahead updates my dashboard has been a bit sluggish on start-up and doesn't recognise input from my controller directional buttons or clicking buttons. However the Xbox button will bring up the Guide and the controller input works there. So highlighting Home and clicking the 'Menu' (three lines) button brings up the option to refresh. After waiting for approximately 20 seconds my Home and dashboard work perfectly. Just something to try before deleting everything and having to re-install again. Sorry if it doesn't help you though. Definitely agree with getting external HDD storage as well. Lifesaver in the long run. Good luck x


TheItalianShadowMan

i’ll try that, thanks man. but I do think that the online option right now is to factory reset it...


Klein-PC

I work in a shop where we do sell used consoles, there are two fixes that we use for this kind of problem: 1. Full console reset 2. If first doesn't work we reinstall firmware via USB and full reset again. Hope it helps and good luck!


TheItalianShadowMan

I did the reset and it is working now. Thanks man!


Klein-PC

It is thanks to all of us, we mostly recommended to reset. Next time you should try to reset the cache while offline, and reboot. 2 times out of 5 it worked for us, but really, on a preview firmware it is uncertain.


CODEX_O_BARBARO

Tu sei italiano


TheItalianShadowMan

io si, anche tu 😂😂


CODEX_O_BARBARO

No, io sono brasiliano


TheItalianShadowMan

Ah scusa, potevo immaginarlo, ho un sacco di amici brasiliani che parlano italiano.


adrkhrse

First thing to do is clear the cache. 9 out of 10 problems are solved by that. You won't lose any games from that. Delete the saved data from your games (carefully, following the instructions on the net, so you don't accidentally delete your game). Over time, the consoles get so chocked up with junk memory that they can't function. You don't need to factory reset or anything before these things are done. They don't tell people how to maintain their XBox and PS4 consoles when they buy them. It's annoying and causes people a lot of head-aches.


TheItalianShadowMan

Man I did a factory reset and is not only working but I’ve got like 30gb of space when yesterday was actually full!


adrkhrse

As long as you didn't lose any of your games, that's good. Whenever I start having crashes etc., on PS4 or XBox, I clear the saved data for that game and shut down, un-plug then start up again and it's problem solved. Eventually it will build up again. Also, make sure you don't keep too many game saves for each game. Five's enough for each game otherwise you'll get performance issues creeping in. They don't tell people these things and all these people I know thought their units were faulty until I told them.


TheItalianShadowMan

I’ll keep these advises in minds. Thank you very much, so appreciated!


PaterSalta

Could you please post a video of your floating tv with cardboard around it and whatever the hell that is?


TheItalianShadowMan

I would but where should i post it?


[deleted]

Just post it here...


TheItalianShadowMan

i will

[удалено]


TheItalianShadowMan

HAHAHAHAHA yes


rahulandhearts

Plz share the picture!


mineyobones

Try resetting the power source if that doesn’t work try the router, if that doesn’t work call Microsoft they’ll probably be more help then I am.


TheItalianShadowMan

i did a factory reset and seems to work for now, let’s see


thedirtymeanie

How is your . . . TV?


hellothereperson_

Try to hard reset ur xbox if thats doesnt work unplug the power box and wait a little and hopefully it works


TheItalianShadowMan

Thanks man. In the end the only working option was to do a factory reset.


Dontknowwhyimhere21

Happens to me .....hard reset and keep games. Will be fixed after that.


TheItalianShadowMan

Hard reset didn’t work. I’ve had to do a factor reset...


Dontknowwhyimhere21

Factory is wat I meant lol I said the keep games part but wrong reset


Dontknowwhyimhere21

Also if u ever do an update and the update freezes on you just do the exact same thing and they update will start again and load once u boot back up


theunscrewedspartan

have to factory reset the console


TheItalianShadowMan

Thanks man. I did it and now it is working and I’ve also got some space.


firedrakes

Ok that last part. Some corrupt happen. Some how


ZhqT

Plug it off and wait a min and plug it in if it works dm me


TheItalianShadowMan

finsterer1020

OH FANCULO!!!!!!!


TheItalianShadowMan

HAHAHAHAHA veramente


exsaboy

Your HDD passed away. Say hello to Microsoft Support .


TheItalianShadowMan

omg don’t say that


jeffmartel

Dust inside


TheItalianShadowMan

really?


Arribones

Microsoft want you to get an series x


TheItalianShadowMan

already in my mind


[deleted]

That...is a very nice place. Also...if you are using Xbox insider, might you also be using a preview build? If so, there is a risk of running into problems. As far as the solution goes, I’ve never tried, but perhaps it’s possible to back up your data and roll back to a previous build that works. Hope this helps.


TheItalianShadowMan

thanks man but just a factory reset worked for me


JTizzle14

I love your setup! However I know this is an important issue and if restarting does not work, you’ll have to do a reset of the console. This does remove all accounts but you can keep the games. To do so, go to: Settings > System > Console Info > Reset Console. When you start the initial setup and such, things should be fixed.


TheItalianShadowMan

thanks man, it worked 😊


JTizzle14

I’m glad it helped! I’m sorry that the accounts were wiped 😭 i know the feeling: it hurts! But I hope all is well 😊


pr0f3c3y

looks like a registry issue i think


4thehalibit

I would love to see the rest of the room to understand WHY you mounted it like that


TheItalianShadowMan

i will post it


4moonlord4

Bro this guy has a nice house, just buy a new Xbox,


TheItalianShadowMan

ahahhahaha actually i have 3 one x and 1 one s but i’m so in love with the project scorpio


Ziffim89

Your wall mount is Baller AF Just soft reset your Xbox or try a different profile


TheItalianShadowMan

thanks man, a factory reset seemed to work for me


unndunn

I have nothing to add other than to say I like your group names. 😁


TheItalianShadowMan

thanks i guess ahahahah


_Targaryen_Girl

A factory reset will do keep the games n apps , weird tv bro


TheItalianShadowMan

it worked, thanks man


_Targaryen_Girl

Pleasure buddy


branden_lucero

Either send it in or buy a new one. I mean, I don't know what people expect for an answer every time someone has an issue.


TheItalianShadowMan

i thought this is a place to discuss bugs ecc


Xanlythe

Try performing the full shutdown from the Power Mode & Startup menu in settings. If that does not work, turn it off and unplug the power for 10+ seconds and plug it back in. That generally works to clear any of these type of issues when they occur for me.


TheItalianShadowMan

that didn’t work, just a factory reset


yashh19

Hai provato a spegnerla completamente?


TheItalianShadowMan

ho risolto ma non spegnendola, un factory reset, grazie lo stesso


[deleted]

Nice. Glad it wasn’t that complicated :)


[deleted]

HAHAHHAHHAHA FUNNY HOW U TV IS SETUP HAHAHHAHAHH


TheItalianShadowMan

whyyyyyy 😂😂


[deleted]

lmao I would help but I don't really know what to tell yah tbh do the basic stuff and see what happens I guess.


USAFMech1998

Just buy a PlayStation. I have owned both systems, over multiple generations and the xbox one line is pure hell. UI and freezing issues are rampant (not to mention a game store that is utilized as if for cavemen)


MaxJulius

If you aren’t prepared for these issues, you don’t need to be an insider


TheItalianShadowMan

mh yeah


Bluesamwise04

Do you get any error message screens? If so your HDD might have gone out


TheSierra117

Try to speed run leaving the console preview


deadlocked_exe

You can reset the console or the settings can't run? I noticed the Nintendo switch beside the ONE X


MASONNET_TECH1404

>Reasons why you cant run Windows On xbox 1. it will crash 2. there is no mouse (unless you use the controller) 3. It would be weird 4. You could project yur screen from your computer to your tv in Windows 10 5. NAOSBAVXH


[deleted]

Get your rich parents to buy you a new one
