For people asking if you lose game data and your saves, I can confirm you keep all your game data, however your profiles will be removed from the xbox but can easily be retrieved back and will have everything on them still (games, friends, apps, etc) of you remember the password to log back in, I did find however that SOME of my games did not stay on the xbox which forced me to reinstall them which sucks but it's not the end of the world, This 100% works and its 100% safe, just remember any login details that you might need for the future
I want to say that this comment helped me and I know that way more people than you can imagine. This is exactly what I needed to see to feel safe. Thank you Jimbo 🙏🏻💯
@@ceku202 like I said it just takes the profiles away but the games are saved if u press the correct option, all game saved data is saved to a profile so you wont lose that, I believe the reason I lost some of my games was because I have an external hard drive, however i only lost like 2 of them so it's no big deal
Thank you! I ran into this issue a month ago and went through Microsoft. To save some time, I thought I’d search this on UA-cam and needed up finding your video and it saved me so much time with the same exact instructions Microsoft gave me and has fixed the speed of my Xbox Home Screen/navigation. Appreciate it!!!
Man your are a money saver. Been trying for days to get my xbox out of a stuck update only getting to 94%. All the other vids said turn it take the power away then try again. I've watched the take it apart and clean it all out of dust ones. Watched yours and boom problem solved. Big love dude
Thank you so much my apps were not working I tried going in settings for about a week now and it would say” it took to long to load” tried restarting hard restarting but this should work 🙏🏻
Total black screen on my Xbox one, it’s been on the fritz for a few months now and I was always scared it would completely crap out soon. Was convinced it was done for when I first saw this, saw some comments online trying to explain how to factory reset but this video is the one that properly showed me how to do it! Seems like there’s a couple minor things this screws up with downloaded games and accounts but that’s all very small in the grand scheme of things. Glad to have my Xbox back working and now maybe it’ll actual run a bit better again too :)
I know im way late to say this like everyone else has but if it wasn't for you wouldn't have been able to sign into my account because before it kept giving me a white screen I know im way late to say this like everyone else has but if it wasn't for you wouldn't have been able to sign into my account because before it kept giving me a white screen whenever i went to sign in but after watching your tetorial it saved my account from being lost for good i cant think of enough words to thank but definitely worth a subscript went to s tutorial it saved my account from being lost for good i cant think of enough words to thank but definitely worth a subscription and once again thank you sincerely
I’ve not had to this before so I need to ask. If you keep your games and apps, will it remember all your progress for games as well or just keep the games? Because if I have to re do everything on every game I’m not resetting it.
Yeah it will..with your Xbox profile/account it will synch your progress if u go with the option with remove everything u will have to log back in and go to your full library and all of your games will be there to re download
@@ryanburrows7488 so a factory reset doesn't remove stuff off your actual account, good to know. It's only the saves and game data and all that. I wanna try and play assassin's creed valhalla, but I've been getting constant crashing and freezing ever since I bought it. Can't even make it through the tutorial without being forced to the dashboard.
Ok so i factory reset my Xbox because everything else wouldn’t work. I’m confused because when I factory reset it, I restarted my Xbox because I was downloading my games and it wouldn’t work. So it said to hold the Xbox power button for 10 seconds. So I did. Now it’s broken again where it’s stuck.
After factory resetting with keeping games, the games sync forever and will not start. I need help. Update: restart the console (the normal way) and try again. Games will sync slowly. Say goodbye to any mods you had installed on games like fallout or mud runner.
My Xbox started to not load anything so I held down on the main button on it for 10 seconds turned it back on and now it just loads forever on the initial start up screen I NEED HELP
Thank you so much you have no idea how frustrating this was just randomly last night my xbox started acting really slow it took me ages to get to the home page, loading into games and turning my xbox on i reset my xbox and now its faster then before
Great content Man! Thx so much, I just want to ask if this reset to fabric mod is gonna help with getting a smoother gameplay on some games ( like warzone for example)
So I’m looking to update my Xbox One X to the Series X. So I’d want to factory reset like erase everything so my games and apps are off that console so I can sell it right?
My question is there a certain time frame that I have to resync all my saved data for games? Like for example if I don't sync my saves back to COD after 2 weeks will it delete my saves? Or am I being scared of nothing?
If i could give u everything i have i would this is my third time watching this video bro u helped too much to realise that i need w new xbox nw:p thank you thank you thank youuuuu
Possible you can walk me through recovering my original gamertag? After factory resetting, I was **forced** to create a new gamertag. I'm using the right email, as I still have access to my game pass account and such. But when I tried to enter MY gamertag, it just says it's "too long". But I've had that gamertag for almost 3 or 4 yrs now.
did the same no troubleshooting screen only system error screen...heard beep twice exactly but not working for me...sometimes it shows green bar about to fill and above it console image then interrupted by system error
So what do you do when it won't factory reset. Says prepping console and at 4% says something went wrong. Try offline update but the console won't recognize thumb drive though its properly formatted. Doesn't matter which port I try.
So mine was acting weird and Didnt work for three days when it did wouldnt load my games or profile says took to long I didn't do the sync thing with controller sync button but held down the Xbox controller button and it said reset Xbox not restart... So was that like the same thing or did I mess up somehow?
whenever i turn on my xbox and have to sing in to my account it doesn’t pop up only with add new account or skip sign in and i can never use my account?
Everything has worked except that im now Stuck in this „Xbox is getting prepared to reset“ screen at 50% It tells me not to unpugg the console or to turn it of . Can someone please help cause i looove ma Box 😅
If I reset and keep games and apps does it remove updates. Cause I dont have wifi at the moment and I'm using a Hotspot so if I had to update my games again I'd be screwed
@@JUK3_Replayz yeah, that old xbox bricked and it didn’t work, but it should for you, we figured out the network receiver in the console was broken so it was basically dead, but yeah you’ll sign in and when you open a game it’ll say ‘syncing data for (game)’ and after a few seconds of waiting you’ll get your stuff back
@@goutbreak like i’m trynna play sea of thieves because the new update came out and i updated it right. i played it the day before it and it’s been a day almost 2 since it came out. i clicked on it and it’d tell me to uninstall and reinstall it. but when i’d click uninstall it would do absolutely nothing. and i’ve tried everything and now the game icon is just an orange square with the xbox logo in it instead of the game cover. i click on it and it just says something went wrong. it’s been like 3 hours and it won’t delete. and i can’t delete any other game
But if you don't have a controller to navigate the screen once you get to it what do you do then? I can reset it but it doesn't really reset it all the does it get you to the screen but you still have to choose which option you want and that's not possible unless you have a controller correct?
This is 2nd time ive has to do it in the past year. Does the xbox just continue to deteriorate? I cant find a series X anywhere near me that isnt marked up and was thinking about buying a One X to hold me over
When you factory reset do you loose your account on games or do you just need do log in on Xbox and have all your stuff and do I need do download games and dlc's again and add my friends again?
What happened if my save data is gone. if game and app is still in. Is my save data will come back from sync in the game? Bcuz I'm scared to lose all data.
I'm having problems with Fall Guys or Game of Life (these kind of games with that sort of graphics). They keep crashing seconds up to a minute into the game Doing this made the games last 30 seconds longer but they still crash... any ideas? Other games work just fine
So what if my apps aren’t there? My xbox is having a problem with xbox live rn but thats just the servers but i did this and now all my games r gone and i cant load anything cuz that xbox live thing is telling me that some apps wont work and the app store is one of them
I factory reset my xbox and recovered my data, but now games won't start, updates won't begin downloading, and xbox takes forever to turn on and off. Any tips?
I don’t want to but I have to even if I go with the keep games and apps and I know the email and everything for my Xbox account but I don’t want it to somehow mess up and then I lose everything like all my games and my Xbox live
I did this a couple of nights ago and I selected the “keep games and apps” option. I have been playing nothing but PUBG since then, and went to watch some Netflix this morning. Those were running fine. My friends invited me to play fortnite and then I got an error code saying there were connection issues. I tried launching fortnite multiple times and got the same message every time. I got the same code with every other game I had. Even the Microsoft store won’t launch. What do I do? I’ve tried looking up the error code (0x80072EFE) but found no solution. I want to factory reset and remove everything to see if that fixes the problem but I’m scared I’m going to lose ranks in all my games. I am clueless when it comes to problems like this.
Mine was taking like 5 minutes to start up and games take forever to load. After this is running like new, thank you man.
