Got my One this morning. When I turn it off, with the power saving option not on, it takes ages to switch off. Something like 10 minutes earlier today. It was still flashing the logo on the front of the console after 20 minutes so just pulled the mains power from it to turn it off.

Anyone else had this?

You really shouldn't turn it off at the mains unless the PSU light is orange.

And if the logo was still flashing, it could well have been doing something...

The console syncs when you turn it off, as all saves are cached locally and then synced with the XBL servers ("cloud" saves) at shutdown.

Also, if you have auto-updates enabled in addition to Instant On, it will periodically check for updates when in standby, and perhaps when you turn it off depending what the time is.

Maybe it was updating the system or games/apps, or perhaps it was taking longer than normal to sync?

Oops. My trouble is I am an impatient so and so. Will have to double check the settings next time I turn it on to see if there is anything that takes time to shut down. Thanks Matt.

Don't power it off at the plug at night as it updates silently as Matt says, and never do it if the white light is flashing as it is then doing a firmware update.

I tried it out. Seemed ok.

Yes don't just unplug it. It will have been updating something. Just leave it and it will shut down once everything is completed.

MalteseFalcon · 21-01-2015, 13:13

Thanks for the replies. As I said, I'm impatient and expect it to turn off right away. Think I will just leave it to turn off on it's own overnight in future. As in, hit the power button to turn off and then leave it.

SnoopZ · 21-01-2015, 13:44

I either shout 'xbox off... Yes' or press the power button and walk away.

MalteseFalcon · 21-01-2015, 14:17

I got it without Kinect.

Stephen · 21-01-2015, 15:24

I never power off via the console always Xbox switch off or holding the xbox logo button on the controller and switching off via that option.

For those in the preview program there is a new firmware for wireless controllers.

It's improves stability and speeds up controller power up and connection from 3-5 seconds to around 2 seconds.

Mjr Nelson posted it earlier.

Will have to update my controllers again, have only done it once before and didnt notice any difference.

Just realised you said this.

reason for that is it will be saving and backing up and checking for updates probably. with the quick start enabled it can do all of that in low power stand by mode. Also boots up a heck of a lot faster from that state.

Just updating my controller now.

SnoopZ · 27-01-2015, 15:32

Just updated both my controllers, they pretty much connect instantly now, keep the improvements coming MS.
