Xbox One slower load time after the nov 2015 update


Recommended Posts

was wondering if anyone's xb1 has a slower load time, coming out of sleep, after the nov 2015 update?  mine sits at the signing in screen for about a min or two before the dash board is displayed.  kind of pissing me off since it is coming out of sleep and not a cold start.

Yea, mine is the same.  Takes 3s as long to load the dashboard.  Also, the latest Netflix update was crap as well.  Pause a show, the onscreen controls stay up.  Fast forward/rewind is fast/quick.  Press once and go to the beginning or end of the show.  Have to exit the app and reload.

how do you hard reset the console and do you lose any data?

I believe you just shut it down and unplug it. Plug it back in and start it again. You do not lose any data doing that.

Hold the power button for 10 seconds until the XBOX turns off.  Unplugging the power until the power brick light turns off is another way.

I tend to do both, just to be doubly sure!

You should be careful before overusing the hard reset option. The hard drive does not get safely parked, and instead does an emergency shutdown, you'll hear the arms get forcefully placed in the parking zone.

 

This can damage the arms and heads prematurely if done too many times, and it isn't easily or cheaply put right. Take it from a data recovery guy, even with cloud saves you can't be too dismissive as you'll need to install tens of GB's of games with new HDD :)

I've needed to restart my Xbox One each time I want to open Skype, because it won't begin to sign me in until I do. When I do restart it, I do notice the loading of the system is considerably slower than previously. It is quite annoying.

Update:

 

i was looking around the xbox one setting last night and found that the xbox one was turning off the hard drive everytime I shut it down.  Meaning it has to spin the drive backup when I turned it on.  After unchecking this box, the xbox one boot up faster.

 

hope this help others.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project.

The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
