Xbox One: 12 Cool Tips, Tricks & Secrets You Must Try

5. Know How To Do A Full Reset

Occasionally with these new machines there'll be some instance of the hardware trying to juggle social media feeds, a particular game's level and an app all at the same time - only for it to buckle under the pressure. Luckily although the controllers don't feature a full custom reboot outside of taking the batteries out, if the console itself has totally locked up, simply touch and hold the main power (the logo) button for over 10 seconds, powering the system down completely and clearing the cache - hopefully solving your problems. As the Xbox One likes to power down into 'Instant On' mode instead of anything else, if you tweak the Power & Startup inside the Settings menu, you can get the system to power down properly every time - although it will mean things like Cloud saves and a longer boot-up time await you on the other side.
