Why Does Xbox One Randomly Turn On?

Best Answer

Your Xbox One might be haunted! Just kidding. It could be due to a feature called 'Instant-On,' which allows updates and other processes to happen even when the console is off. Try switching to 'Energy-saving' mode in the settings.

Check if your controller is accidentally turning it on. Controllers can sometimes sync and power on the console if buttons are pressed accidentally.

Sometimes, the HDMI-CEC feature can cause your Xbox One to turn on if you power on other devices like your TV. Check your settings and disable HDMI-CEC if that's the case.

Honestly, it's probably just the 'Instant-On' feature being quirky. Turning off 'Instant-On' in the power settings might fix it.
